Doctors finding that EEG's are effective in determining which medications will actually work.

The new use of EEGs skips the diagnosis (a label like “anxiety disorder”) and goes straight to a recommended treatment. An EEG is compared with a database that includes 13,000 pairings of EEGs with which drugs helped in each case. A California company called CNS Response, which runs the database, finds a match and sends the physician an analysis indicating which drugs patients with that EEG are sensitive or resistant to.

Includes a nice success story. Wow, I sure hope this pans out.
