**5. Conclusion**

This chapter introduces qEEG brain map interpretation in newly matriculated medical students transitioning from undergraduate science to the preclinical basic medical science phase of their medical training exhibiting a spectrum from high to low theta-beta ratio (TBR), a putative measure of attentional control, and in students showing a spectrum of right-sided and left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry (fAA), a putative measure of negative emotions. The qEEG changes in TBR are highly correlated with academic performance on a first-semester human structure–function (anatomy-physiology) exam and the qEEG changes in fAA are highly correlated with "depressed" scores on an individualized self-inventory of their psychosocial interactions. These brain maps suggest that changes in qEEG voltages and asymmetries may be predictive of changes in attentional control, cognitive performance, and psychosocial skills and may serve as surrogate markers for neurofeedback training related changes in neuroplasticity and in cognitive learning and memory functions of the human brain.
