MeRT: A Breakthrough Treatment To Bring Balance To Your Brain — and Your Life!
Through a highly-personalized treatment protocol, MeRT can restore brain communication.
MeRT is drug-free, non-invasive, and has achieved some miraculous results.
Your Brain is Unique
Your brain contains approximately 100 billion nerve cells (neurons) that communicate via brainwaves on specific pathways in the brain.
And the more often a pathway is used, the stronger it gets. But when forces—either internal or external—disrupt brain activity, these pathways can become weaker, or completely unused.
What do we mean by internal and external forces? Here are a few examples:
- Emotional trauma or high amounts of chronic or acute stress
- Trauma to the head such as a concussion
- PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)
- Anxiety
- Depression or Major Depressive Disorder
- Illness or disease such as stroke or Parkinson’s Disease
- Dementia
- Developmental disorders such as Autism, ADD, and ADHD
- Sleeping disorders
There is a solution: By restoring the unused, weakened pathways, MeRT can bring balance to the brain—and your life.

The 3 Components of MeRT
MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, is customized for each patient. Specifically, this cutting-edge treatment uses the combined technologies of:
qEEG
(quantitative electroencephalogram)
This non-invasive procedure, also called brain mapping, places electrodes along the scalp to obtain a full picture of your brainwave function.
ECG/EKG
(electrocardiogram)
At the same time, the ECG measures electrical signals coming from your heart, to analyze the brain-heart connection, to be as accurate as possible.
rTMS
(transcranial magnetic stimulation)
Following the qEEG and EKG, our Scientists and Doctors then develop a tailored program of rTMS, gentle magnetic waves to stimulate areas of the brain.
“We can visualize these EEG disruptions.”
The EEG report is key to MeRT treatment. Alex Ring, Director of Applied Sciences at Wave Neuroscience, explained why it’s vital to get a precise measurement of brainwave activity:
“This is a series for different types of cases. [These are] the frontal, central, and posterior portions of the brain. We can count how many brain waves there are per second. What we expect to find is this brain clock—this radio frequency in the brain that helps us conduct information—is the same in the back as we see in central and frontal regions: There’s one peak and it lines up and it’s the same speed.
“What we might find with a patient coming into our clinics with a concussion, they have in the front of the brain a slower frequency downstream of the injury. So they’re taking information in but they’re not able to keep up with it. When we look at autism, we might find that this rhythm is disrupted everywhere in the brain.
“Our goal is to take that EEG and to specifically guide therapy settings to be individualized to that person’s brainwave activity.”

“What we’ve learned is that everyone has a unique frequency or unique signature.”
“All of us during our waking hours, [has] something called an alpha frequency where our brain most comfortably operates. It’s a cycle rate where we’re all somewhere between eight and 13 Hertz. And you might be, for example, an 11.4 Hertz brain. I might be an 8.9 Hertz brain. And somebody else might be a 10.3 Hertz brain. It’s just kind of where we’re born.
“But when we get these brain images, whether it’s through the physical trauma of a blast injury, or the chemical trauma of years of drug use, or the emotional trauma of seeing a loved one pass away, we may find areas of the brain that are not cycling at the same rate as the rest of our cortex area that’s not working properly and try to stimulate it and remind it that it wants to fire at a certain frequency and a certain rate.”

The Steps of MeRT Treatment
MeRT is non-surgical, non-invasive, painless, and completely drug-free. The steps of MeRT treatment are as follows:
1. Testing and Evaluation
On your first appointment, we perform the qEEG and EKG tests right in our office. We then send the results for analysis to see exactly how your brain is functioning.
2. Analysis and Treatment Plan
We use a scientific and patented approach to analyze your qEEG and EKG results. This analysis delves deep into your brain health and locates any areas that are not functioning properly. Based on this analysis, we develop a targeted treatment plan customized to your specific condition.
3. Assessment Period
Once your treatment plan is in place, we can schedule your two-week assessment period of treatment. For the first week, you’ll receive five days of therapy. For the second week, you’ll receive four days of therapy followed by a series of tests on the fifth day to evaluate your progress.
In each session, you’ll sit in a comfortable chair while a highly-trained technician places a magnetic coil on your head. There’s no pain or discomfort involved: The device simply sends mild electrical signals in the targeted areas of the brain.
The sessions are fast since you typically spend 30 minutes in the chair each time. Moreover, the specific time of stimulation is just 6-8 seconds every minute.
4. Progress Evaluation
We monitor your progress throughout your daily treatments, so we can confirm how you feel and track improvements. Then, after the two-week assessment period of treatment, we will perform a series of tests to review your progress and make any needed modifications.
If there is a positive response to treatment during the first two-week period, you’re likely to notice some improvements. At that point, we’ll generally schedule additional treatment in two-week intervals. Most conditions require a minimum of six weeks of MeRT treatments for the best results.*
Currently, MeRT is FDA-approved to treat Major Depressive Disorder. Treatment for all other conditions is considered “off label” at this time. However, we anticipate FDA approval soon for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
* Results are based on active and strict observation of our regimens. Results may vary based on the individual user and are not guaranteed.
MeRT Treatment Featured on Dr. Mark Hyman’s “Broken Brain” Podcast
Dr. Erik Won, President of Wave Neuroscience, was featured on the famous podcast, “The Broken Brain.” In this episode, Dr. Won discussed the incredible successes of using MeRT to treat the symptoms of PTSD, as well as Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).
