MERT: Magno-EEG Resonant Therapy

The following clinical studies for rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) highlight the research used as a basis for Brookside Institute’s exclusive protocol Magno-EEG Resonant Therapy (MERT). MERT is an advanced form of rTMS that uses an electroencephalogram (EEG) or brainwave analysis to identify the precise intensity, stimulus frequency, location, duration and maintenance plan to bring the brainwaves back into normal patterns.
