Evoke assessments are the reports that are generated from the Evoke Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) system. Each initial assessment report is proprietary to Evoke Neuroscience, so is ordered when a new patient is initiated into the qEEG feedback, assessment and training system. The Evoke Report is required to determine training activities for the client. The training activities are designed to modify the functioning of alpha, beta, delta, and theta brainwaves based on test results and desired psychological function. Some of the psychological and cognitive activities that are trained using Evoke qEEG include anxiety, attention, memory, and reaction time. The eVox assessment clearly indicates the specific Brodman's area(s) of the brain and their current electrical functioning. Assessment results then enable the practitioner to pinpoint qEEG training to the specific Brodman's area(s) where the lack of activity or excess of activity exists. The data on brain function, memory, and stress activation is then used to guide the peak performance or clinical remediation training on the Evoke Loretta qEEG system that is owned by MARSOC. Receiving the Evoke Assessment Report from Evoke Neuorscience is critical to being able to make appropriate practitioner decisions for improving or remediating MARSOC Marines. Currently, this capability is only available from Evoke because of proprietary software for interpreting the data produced by the Evoke Neuroscience qEEG system computers. Applying the information from the Evoke assessment reports in treatment increases Operator capability and readiness, thereby improving MARSOC capability and readiness.
