Older adults who regularly listen to or play music may significantly lower their risk of dementia, according to a study of more than 10,800 people over age 70.

Anxiety Profiles: Frontal Beta, Occipital Beta, Temporal Beta, Hypercoherence

How it actually feels:
Location matters. Beta activity in frontal regions creates a fundamentally different subjective experience than beta in occipital or temporal areas.

Frontal beta often shows up as:
• Executive overwhelm—difficulty prioritising, organising, deciding
• Mental fatigue from constant cognitive demand
• Anxiety about performance, productivity, getting things done

Occipital beta presents as:
• That pervasive feeling that "something's not quite right"
• Anticipatory unease without clear cognitive content
• Somatic knowing before conscious awareness kicks in
• The sense you're forgetting something, or there's somewhere else you need to be
• Experienced more in the body than in thought

Temporal beta correlates with:
• Stress-related activation in regions associated with emotional processing
• Heightened anxiety around interpersonal situations
• Fear and worry with strong emotional resonance

What we see on the EEG:
These aren't generalised patterns. They are localised and regional specific. The brain isn't uniformly anxious; particular networks are working overtime while others may be underactivated.

The Neurotherapy approach:
Using Neuromodulation we can address specific regional patterns of the brain:
• Frontal approaches: Executive function training, working memory protocols, prefrontal-limbic connectivity work
• Occipital protocols: Visual processing integration, posterior calming techniques, alpha enhancement in visual cortex
• Temporal interventions: Emotional regulation training, limbic system modulation

We know, your occipital beta isn't a character flaw. It's a visual-processing network running too hot, likely hypersensitive to environmental stimuli. We can work with that directly.

If this feels familiar and you’d like clarity rather than guesswork, QEEG can help us see which networks are under strain and where support may help.

Here’s something most people don’t know about anxiety: it’s not one brain state. It’s at least eleven.

With quantitative EEG (QEEG) we can identify 11 distinct neurophysiological profiles associated with anxious experiences. Each has its own brain signature, its own “felt sense” in the body, and different implications for treatment.

For some people, anxiety is an inability to settle. A fast alpha pattern that creates that cheetah-brain feeling: heightened sensitivity, constant scanning, overstimulation.

For others, it’s relentless mental churning. Beta spindles across central regions linked to rumination that won’t quiet.

And for others, it shows up first as a somatic sense that something isn’t quite right, before conscious thought can catch up.

Same diagnosis code. Completely different neurobiology.

This is why blanket approaches can be hit-and-miss. We end up treating the label, not the brain mechanisms driving the symptoms.

What QEEG-informed neurotherapy offers:

When we understand your neurophysiological signature, we can match interventions to mechanisms.

• Excessive fast-wave activity? We target that.

• Poor neural synchronisation? Different approach.

• Beta spindling and CNS hyperarousal? We work with that directly.

Tools like transcranial stimulation protocols, photobiomodulation, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re precision tools, and protocols depend on your specific brain pattern.

Over the next few posts, I’ll walk through the 11 profiles: what they look like on EEG, how they can feel in lived experience, and how neurotherapy may approach each one differently.

Because your anxiety has a signature. And knowing what it is changes how we treat it.

If anxiety has been shaping your days and you’re curious about brain-based support, you’re welcome to reach out to The Togetherness Project for a conversation about next steps.

For many Christmas time and the holiday period can be overwhelming for some. We can feel unprepared, nervous or even not look forward to it as it reminds of certain times of our life which are less than positive.

It is important that we have our voice. Your voice does matter. Your boundary is important and we should not feel the need to people please just to satisfy others.

We have a right to share Christmas with a small select few, we have a right not to go to that place or family member who triggers us. Of course there has to be compromise when we are dealing with other people but we are always taught to put on our oxygen masks first....before we tend to the need of others.
