Brain Testing

By Dr Roy Sugarman PhD

The brain is no longer the dark continent it once was: today, thanks to leading edge technology, we can measure most of the most important functions of the brain in less than an hour.  Just like a cardiac stress test, we can assess the brain in under an hour, producing accurate data related to four main domains of brain function.  Emotion (non-conscious physical-emotional processes), thinking (attention, memory, impulsivity, motor speed etc), feeling (depression, anxiety, stress) and self regulation capacity (negativity, emotional resilience, social skills) all combine to produce an integrated response from body and brain to the challenges of daily life.

These four domains emerge from 14 markers of brain function that we can measure, and it takes the WebNeuro assessment, developed by Brain Resource Ltd, just 40 mins or so to accurately combine these markers into a single report, drawing on the world’s largest integrative neuroscience database. All it requires is a Window’s based PC with live internet connection, and the process is completely confidential, with banking-level encryption. Once you have measured your brain’s most important processes, you can then manage these effectively using the Body-Brain Vitality program developed by Human Performance Institute, and as shown on the Body Brain Overhaul TV series.
