Patient Resource Material
An important part of our treatment is homework. At most, we only see a patient for a few hours a week. Therefore it is imperative that patients take the time to diligently do their neurological exercises and/or eye movement exercises, as well as use assigned apps at home.
EQ Active Brain Performance is a multiple-award winning platform backed by rigorous research and some of the world’s leaders in neurological study, becoming the world’s first mobile, gamified, FDA-cleared neurological assessment and monitoring tool.
EQ Active combines mobile game-based testing, multiple trajectories of brain performance (cognitive, balance and visual function), and the ability to produce data that would realistically not be achieved otherwise. For the first time, users can track their brain performance on a regular basis and clinicians can monitor and assess patients using continuous, wholistic data. EQ Active allows you to live your life with the comfort of knowing that your brain performance data is perpetually available for comparison should a concerning event take place, giving you the best opportunity to get back to where you want to be.

BrainHQ is your online headquarters for working out your brain. Think of it as a personal gym, where you exercise your memory, attention, brain speed, people skills, intelligence and navigation instead of your abs, delts, and quads. Just as our bodies require care and exercise over the course of life, so do our brains—especially as we age. BrainHQ provides the exercise your brain needs to be at its sharpest. More info here . . .
From Banzai Labs: “Our Neural Entrainment apps utilize sequences of binaural tones to stimulate neural frequencies associated with various states of mind. In this process two different tones are played through headphones or earbuds. These binaural tones differ in frequency on the left and right side by an amount matching the target neural frequency. When processing these binaural tones the human brain perceives the frequency difference as an inaudible, periodic beat. This periodic beat is often referred to as the binaural beat for a given sequence and the tones themselves as binaural beats, however, this beat is indirectly perceived as opposed to directly heard since it is below the range of human hearing (Perceived human hearing is limited to the range of frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, whereas human neural frequencies typically range from .5 to 40 Hz). For each neural sequence the frequency of this perceived beat has been engineered to precisely match a target neural frequency. The effect on neural frequencies depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone: for example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz. After a few minutes of use the listener's own neural oscillations will begin to fall into step with, and synchronize with, this binaural beat, inducing states ranging from deep sleep to intense concentration and focus. This synchronization process, also known as the "frequency following response", is referred to as Neural Entrainment. This perceived beat frequency corresponds to the delta, theta, alpha, beta, or gamma range of neural frequencies used in the different stages of each neural program to entrain the users neural oscillations towards the beat frequency.”
Use the new Recognise App to quickly exercise your synapses on your device, wherever you are. Based on the latest science and clinical trials, Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is being used to treat many complex pain and movement problems. Using Recognise has been shown to reduce pain, improve performance and assist with rehabilitation in a range of complex pain, and injury states, when used as part of a GMI program.
