Brain map-ul nu poate diagnostica afecțiuni psihiatrice sau trăsături de personalitate 🧠.
In this Romanian discussion, Mihail Pautov and several speakers talk about the BrainMap/VoltageMap software that can be installed on EEG devices (e.g., AEG). The software creates colorful, dynamic visualizations of brain potentials, showing areas of relative positivity or negativity with red, yellow, and green hues that change as the cursor moves. While the visual output is appealing and can highlight focal activity, the participants stress that the tool does not provide any clinical interpretation or diagnostic conclusions. Any inference must be made by a qualified clinician in the proper clinical context; the map alone is merely a visual aid. The conversation then shifts to criticism of the growing market of short neurofeedback courses and commercial practitioners who claim the maps can diagnose psychiatric conditions, lesions, or personality traits. The speakers argue that most users lack fundamental neuroscience knowledge, and that no current research validates using such EEG visualizations for diagnosing psychoses, depression, ADHD, or other mental health issues. They warn that this misuse creates false expectations and “illusions” among both practitioners and patients.
