Brainwave Optimization (High-resolution, Relational, Resonance-based Electroencephalic Mirroring): A Non-invasive Technology for Neuro-oscillatory Calibration (2011)

The purpose of this paper is to describe technical and theoretical aspects of Brainwave Optimization™, also known as High-resolution, Relational, Resonance-based Electroencephalic Mirroring™ (HIRREM™). HIRREM is an innovative, non-invasive approach to facilitating greater self-regulatory capacity for, by and through the human brain. The approach may be conceived as a high-resolution electronic mirror that reflects the brain’s activity back to itself in real-time.

Similarities and Differences Between Brainwave Optimization (HIRREM) and Electroencephalographic Biofeedback (2011)

In terms of technological lineage, Brainwave Optimization™ (more formally known as High-resolution, Relational, Resonance-based Electroencephalic Mirroring or HIRREM) can be considered as an advance on the methodology of electroencephalographic biofeedback (also known as “EEG biofeedback” or “neurofeedback.”) For purposes of this discussion, we will generally refer to it as “EEG biofeedback.”

Overcoming Depression Through Brainwave Optimization

Vijendra K. Singh and Lee Gerdes performed a study of four subjects who were exhibiting symptoms of major depressive disorder. The goal of the study was to overcome the patients' depression, alleviate anxiety, and achieve physical health and balance, among other things. Following individual assessments, Dr. Singh and Mr. Gerdes administered Brainwave Optimization™, resulting in positive responses from all of the subjects.

Brain State Conditioning in Neurodegenerative Disease

Lee Gerdes and Vijendra K. Singh performed a preliminary study on cognition of six patients with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. After mapping each patient's brain, Mr. Gerdes and Dr. Singh used Brain State Conditioning™ (BSC), to correct patients' brain imbalances over the course of 10-15 personalized individual training sessions. All of the subjects showed improved neurological and behavioral characteristics, including improved cognitive functions.

Neurorehabilitation of Post-Traumatic Stress and Depressive Behaviors By Brain State Conditioning

Vijendra K. Singh and Lee Gerdes conducted a study in which patients with symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety were treated with Brain State Conditioning™ (BSC), a technology that optimizes brainwaves in real-time to achieve balance and harmony in the brain. After administering BSC over the course of several personalized training sessions, Dr. Singh and Mr. Gerdes observed alleviation of depressive and anxiety tendencies and noticeable improvements in quality of life in all of the patients. As a result, they recommend BSC as a viable approach to the treatment of PTSD.

Evidence Suggests a Pathogenic Role of Brain Autoimmunity in Central Nervous System Diseases

Vijendra K. Singh, Ph.D., Director of Research at Brain State Technologies, discusses the importance of recognizing neurological diseases and mental illnesses, such as autism spectrum disorders and Alzheimer's disease, as autoimmune diseases. Dr. Singh argues that the patient population with these brain diseases "must be included in all future epidemiological studies" in order to get the full picture of autoimmune diseases' impact on human health.

Yavapai County Adult Probation Trial

This report depicts individual results achieved in the Prescott, Arizona Yavapai County trial using Brainwave Optimization conditioning sessions with repeat offenders. Arrests were for possession of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia, petty theft, disturbing the peace, assault, and other miscellaneous crimes.
