I evaluated a female 45y, scoring positive on all malingering tests, having reaction times of over 1 second, who was diagnosed with "mTBI as due to whiplash" (all test results below the 1 percentile) on the basis of a QEEG. All other visualization techniques were negative.

Is the conclusion (in Nuwer M., Assessment of digital EEG, quantitative EEG, and EEG brain mapping: report of the American Academy of Neurology and the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, Neurology. 1997 Jul;49(1):277-92) that QEEG cannot be used in court still the standard?

A more recent article confirms this point of view (Quantitative EEG in mild traumatic brain injury Marc R. Nuwera,b,*, David A. Hovdac, Lara M. Schradera,b, Paul M. Vespaa,b,c aDepartment of Neurology, University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA bDepartment of Clinical Neurophysiology, UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA cDivision of Neurosurgery, University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA)

Can QEEG be influenced by poor effort?
