Abstract
Neurophysiologic information such as quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) is used in a method for classifying, diagnosing, and treating physiologic brain imbalances. Neurophysiologic information is also used to guide sample selection in clinical tests for psychopharmacologic drug candidates. Finally, neurophysiologic information is used for remotely assessing and treating patients with physiologic brain imbalances.

9. A method for classifying brain imbalances, comprising:
- comparing quantified neurophysiologic information from a patient with neurophysiologic information from a reference population of individuals to produce a group of differences for the patient, organizing the differences by neurophysiologic output measurements to provide a differences profile of the physiological state of the patient'"'"'s brain function, and correlating the differences profile of the patient with a series of medication treatment modalities to produce a treatment recommendation, without regard to psychiatric diagnostic category.

34. A method for analyzing physiologic brain imbalances of a patient compnsing:
- comparing quantified neurophysiologic information from the patient with neurophysiologic information from a reference population of individuals who are symptomatic for physiologic brain imbalances to produce a group of similarities for the patient, and organizing the similarities by neurophysiologic output measurements to provide a similarities profile of the physiological state of the patient'"'"'s brain function, without regard to psychiatric diagnostic category.

38. A method for classifying, analyzing, and treating brain imbalances, comprising:
-
comparing quantified nourophysiologic information from a patient with neurophysiologic information from a reference population of individuals to produce a group of differences for the patient;
organizing the differences by neurophysiologic output measurements to provide a differences profile of the physiological state of the patient'"'"'s brain function, correlating the differences profile of the patient with a series of treatment modalities to produce a treatment recommendation;
comparing the differences profile of the patient with neurophysiologic information from a second reference population who are symptomatic for physiologic brain imbalances to produce a group of similarities for the patient, and organizing the similarities by neurophysiologic output measurements to provide a similarities profile of the physiological state of the patient'"'"'s brain function; and
correlating the similarities profile of the patient with a series of treatment modalities for the second reference group to produce a treatment recommendation, wherein the treatment modality is selected from the group consisting of electroconvulsive therapy, electromagnetic therapy, neuromodulation therapy, talk therapy, and any combination thereof, without regard to psychiatric diagnostic category.
