In less than 24 hours we will be, once again, published in the international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal PLOS ONE! Our latest study urges the need for brain-health checkups in primary care practice.
Our research found that the BEAM (Brain Electrical Activity Mapping) combined with a handful of other neuropsychological tests (Test of Variables of Attention) can be used to validate the findings of low PET brain metabolism. Basically, this simple and cost-effective BEAM and TOVA can be used to track brain processing speed, making brain health much easier to follow as well as note changes.

Diagnosis of the early stages of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease in primary care settings has been, up to this point, unreliable. Evidence presented in our study emphasizes the importance of slow brain speed (P300) and the delay of attention or action (TOVA).
We have a solid opening gambit to get our country going in the right direction. Prevention is key.
Please watch as Eric R. Braverman, MD explains the importance of brain processing speed and the tools we have found to be crucial in diagnosing early signs of dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Hi Dr. Braverman. I haven't been in to see you since 2007. At the time I had the brain tests done. After hearing your video I think it's time to schedule my brain check up! Ted Lewis
