Brain Mapping NYC

Our Brain Mapping Therapy

Using fMRI and our algorithm, we can identify brain regions the size of a grain of rice. Our board-certified psychiatrist will work with you, our fMRI technician, and our TMS therapist to chart a course for your treatment. During and between sessions we will track your results.

Using cutting-edge imaging equipment, we can track your results in real time before changes in symptoms manifest. This means we can make any adjustments to your plan as-needed and when they are most impactful. Standard TMS therapists don’t have the equipment to do that, only we do.

This is confirmed by multiple evidence regarding spontaneous brain activity gathered in the last several years, and its importance as a very sensitive biomarker of the health of the brain. DMN is one of the most important RSNs with a synchronized activity pattern indicative of its engagement with other networks.

What Makes our Brain Map Unique?

The basis of our technique is the mapping of your brain at its resting state. Which is to say what it is like when you are not experiencing symptoms or engaging in complex tasks. By using this as a benchmark we can identify what neural circuits are misfiring and need to be tuned up.

We offer fMRI brain mapping, an alternative to QEEG mapping techniques. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) are both prominent techniques for brain mapping. Both methods have unique strengths and applications, making them valuable tools in the field of neuroimaging. 

Resting State fMRI Leads to the Best TMS

fMRI is a non-invasive technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. This powerful imaging tool allows for the identification of specific brain regions and neural pathways involved in various mental processes. 

The primary advantage of fMRI is its ability to provide high-resolution images of the brain’s structure and function. This makes it an ideal tool for precise, targeted interventions like TMS. By mapping the brain at its resting state, fMRI can identify the specific neural circuits that are misfiring and in need of fine-tuning. This level of accuracy is unparalleled in the field of brain mapping. Our accuracy and image quality is what allows us to create unique plans for each patient.

QEEG Brain Mapping: An Exciting Prospect for Imaging Based Psychiatry

In contrast, QEEG records electrical activity in the brain through sensors placed on the scalp. QEEG provides valuable information about brainwave patterns and can reveal abnormalities in brain function.

QEEG excels in offering real-time information about brain function and electrical activity, making it particularly useful for monitoring changes and identifying abnormal brainwave patterns. QEEG has been widely employed for conditions like epilepsy and sleep disorders.

fMRI is Better for Guiding Treatments Like TMS

While both fMRI and QEEG have their distinct advantages, fMRI stands out for its role in TMS therapy due to its ability to pinpoint specific regions of the brain with unparalleled precision. This enables our TMS therapists to develop a tailored treatment plan targeting the exact neural pathways responsible for your symptoms. Moreover, fMRI allows us to continuously monitor your progress in real-time, making adjustments to your treatment as necessary for optimal results. 

While QEEG shows promise in the identification of cerebrovascular disorders, encephalopathy, dementia, and epilepsy, it does not yet have widespread acceptance or approval for the treatment of most brain problems. 

After TMS

You will enjoy a reduction in symptoms and a bright new life. While maintenance TMS sessions may be necessary, they will be far less frequent. So you can spend more time doing what you love.
