Has anyone done a brain scan?Ive heard that there's no science to it.But on the website amenclinics.com, I did a "brain health audit test".It says if you cant get a scan done,this test can predict what it might reveal.You give them your email,and they send you the results with suggestions.

I've heard from people who do neurofeedback that the Amen brain scans they've seen correlate with qEEGs done of the same brains. So apparently the Amen scan is accurate, but quite expensive, but so is a qEEG. I had a simpler, cheaper version of the qEEG done on my brain. It's called the TLC Assessment.

I do not think Brain Scan can detect or confirm depression.

> I do not think Brain Scan can detect or confirm depression.There's growing evidence that brain scans can detect depression. Just google "alpha asymmetry" and "depression." And brain scans can detect happiness. Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin has been using EEG and fMRI to compare the brains of Buddhist monks to the brains of people who only started to meditate recently. The monks' brains had far more activity in the left prefrontal cortex (an area of the brain associated with happiness) than the novice meditators' brains. And the monks' brains were able to generate tremendous amounts of gamma waves, while the novice meditators had weak gamma.
