Brain Music Therapy

Brain Music Therapy is a brief, non-invasive, and painless process of recording a resting EEG and finding elements of the record that correlate with desired mental states. The EEG patterns are converted to personalized music files. By extracting the healing patterns of the brain and presenting them back in this manner, natural self-correcting and adapting capacities are enhanced.
