The Evaluation: Your Brain Health.

Below are the key evaluation methods we use to assess your Complete Brain Health – the results give our team of experts an accurate picture of brain fitness, detect early markers of cognitive decline, identify deficiencies in neurochemicals and alert us to potential preventative measures that can be implemented to improve brain function and intelligence.

P300:

Determines with extremely high accuracy whether or not specific information is stored in a person’s memory. The test measures individual brain-wave responses to relevant words, pictures or sounds presented by a computer.

Spectral analysis or QEEG:

A real time, functional measurement technique that looks at electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp, which primarily reflect cortical electrical activity or “brainwaves”.

Auditory Evoked Potentials:

Checks the nerve pathways between the ears and the brain.

Visual Evoked Potentials: 

The test evaluates the visual pathways in your brain. It checks on the health of the “internal” parts of your visual system.

Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA):

A well-validated, reliable neuropsychological test, specifically developed for screening, diagnosing and monitoring attention deficits.

Central Nervous System-Vital Signs Test (CNS-VS):

This test evaluates neuro-cognitive performance, speed and accuracy of five basic mental functions to measure the health and integrity of the brain’s higher functions.

Wechsler Memory Scale:

A standardized memory test used to assess learning and memory. It specifically measures Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, Immediate Memory and Working Memory.

Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MILLON III):

This psychological assessment tool is used to help develop a treatment approach guided by the patient’s personality characteristics.

Mini Mental Status Exam:

Commonly used in medicine to screen for cognitive impairment/dementia. Tests various cognitive functions, including arithmetic, memory and orientation.

Type and Temperament Personality Test:

A questionnaire used to discover how each unique personality type contributes to an individual’s performance. From this we learn new ways to facilitate treatment and improve overall patient care and decision-making by considering all points of view.

Abstract Ability and IQ:

Estimates general intellectual ability and provides information about the individual’s performance as they complete tasks in the areas of matching, sequences, analogies and construction.
