12. What unique information about my client does a brain map give me? It shows the precise locations and frequencies at which your client's brain deviates from normal function. This information can be combined with symptoms and client self-report, to create a model of why your client has his or her individual pattern of thinking and behavior. This information is helpful to understand your client, as well as to plan and evaluate interventions.

26. “Using BrainAvatar™ the process examines the asymmetry in the prefrontal cortex identifying gamma wave bursts to assess the underlying subconscious decisions behind these self- reported responses, at the very moment of decision- making. This process provides scientific evidence that an evoked emotionally laden response results in corresponding brain activity and exposes the match to self reported explanations. The process documents both the intensity of human emotional response as well as the directionality of the response. “
