As a new patient at Summit Brain Health, you will receive a quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) test to map your brain’s communication networks. This data is then reviewed by Dr. Geraci and a team of neuroscientists to determine the exact, customized protocol specific to you. You will then have a consultation with Dr. Geraci who will go over your results with you, and answer any questions you may have.
Using this map, or pattern of frequencies, treatment can be individualized to your unique brain pattern.
We simultaneously administer an electrocardiogram (EKG) test to map the electrical activity of your heart and brain-heart coherence, further explaining your brain’s activity.
The EEG and EKG results are then evaluated. Using these tests to create a map of the way your brain activity flows, we can see if there is a need to open channels of communication – this tells us if MeRT will work for you.
This unique evaluation test is part of why we get such good results. We are locating and pinpointing the pathways where your brain needs stimulation to help it communicate.
Once the initial consultation is completed you will be started on your treatment program which is normally done daily for 2 weeks as the first round of therapy.
