A meta‐analysis of research examining the ability of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) to predict response to treatment for depression has concluded that the technique lacks clinical reliability. The research team for this meta‐analysis cited small sample sizes and a lack of cross‐validation among the common study deficiencies that led them to their conclusion.
