A “Personal Trainer” for your brain

Based on my decades of research and experiences of how the brain is able to heal itself and enhance its own performance with NeuroMatrix Neurofeedback training™, I created a special at-home training program. The process is based on what is called audio-visual entrainment, a natural phenomena that has been known scientifically for over 100 years.

Specifically, when a light flashes or a tone occurs, the EEG (the recording of the brain's electrical impulses) shows a measurable response to the incoming information. In neuroscience, we call this an "evoked potential." To make the phenomenon even more interesting, when rhythmic light or sound is presented to the brain at certain frequencies, the brain naturally activates working cells (neurons) in synchrony with the incoming rhythmic activity. I have used my understanding of this process, combined with the experiences and successes with NeuroMatrix Neurofeedback training™, to develop programs that activate the frequencies and communication networks the brain uses naturally to function at high levels. The sessions can be thought of as "exercises" for the brain, with the Pegasus system being the brain's "Personal Trainer."

Training sessions – Life Style compatible

Briefly explained, the technology is a self contained, palm sized computer that controls flashing lights in special eye glasses and pulsing tones through head phones. The Pegasus A.V.E. sessions are 20 minutes long and done at your convenience. All you need do during the session is play a video game, watch TV, read, or even work at your desk or do home work. You don’t even have to interrupt your studies or work! More good news: Unlike Neurofeedback, there are no messy electrodes to apply.

Ease of Use

The at-home Pegasus Enhanced Mental Fitness system is very easy to use: Just turn it on, push a button to select the next training program, and put on the eye stim glasses and head phones.

Evaluation

The pre- and post-training evaluation includes health, mood, brain related, and neurotransmitter symptom questionnaires.

The Pegasus program does not, of course, include the Auditory and Visual Continuous Performance Test, Quantitative EEG (brain wave evaluation), and Remedial Neurofeedback, Transcranial DC Modulation, and Heart Rate Variability (breathing) training we do before the NeuroMatrix Neural Efficiency Training™. However, Quantitative EEG brain wave analyses has shown the system to be effective in restoring or creating more efficient brain function with results comparable to traditional Neurofeedback. 

Option: For those desiring to do so, the Auditory and Visual Continuous Performance Test and Quantitative EEG evaluation can be done before Pegasus A.V.E. training. It requires coming to our Training Center in Plano (Dallas), Texas. The NeuroCognitive Evaluation includes a consultation with Dr. Sams to describe the results. Please call or e-mail for current fees.

Rental Fee

Due to the highly specific nature of the protocols, the Pegasus Enhanced Mental Fitness system is only available for rental for a specific number of protocols. A series of symptom questionnaires are required with follow up questionnaires to evaluate progress.

The rental fee for 24 sessions is $960 plus shipping and a $200 refundable deposit. That's just $40 a session, making it significantly less expensive than traditional Neurofeedback.

There are optional programs included at no charge to help with sleep problems and those desiring sessions for relaxation/meditation.

To rent a Pegasus unit, call 972.612.0160 and we can arrange to get one to you promptly. All credit cards are accepted.

Technical Assistance

Technical assistance and guidance is included in the rental fee and available during regular office hours.

Satisfaction guarantee

If you are not satisfied with the improvements you are experiencing after using the Pegasus system for one week (six days), you can return it for a full refund.
