Spectral EEG (sEEG) & NeuroSync™
The First Measurable Vital Sign for the Brain
For decades, psychiatry has relied on subjective information. But at Alleviant, we believe the brain deserves the same clarity, measurement, and precision as every other organ in the body.
That’s why we use Spectral EEG (sEEG) — a quick, non-invasive brain scan that gives us real-time insight into your brain’s electrical activity. It’s the foundation of Objective Psychiatry — and it’s changing everything.
What Is sEEG?
Spectral EEG (short for spectral electroencephalogram) is a painless, gel-free, 4-minute scan that measures and maps your brain’s brainwave activity across all 19 major regions.
This scan helps us detect:
We use sEEG to:
Establish a baseline brain profile
Identify targets for TMS and NeuroSync™
Evaluate the neurological impact of trauma, mood disorders, or attention issues
Track progress and brain function over time
Support diagnosis without relying solely on symptoms or self-report
In other words: we see what your brain is doing — and why you feel the way you do.
Who Should Get an sEEG?
Anyone seeking help for emotional, cognitive, or behavioral symptoms
Anyone frustrated by lack of progress in previous treatments
Anyone starting or adjusting psychiatric medications
Anyone looking to optimize brain performance (no diagnosis required)
Anyone wanting a baseline scan for future comparison
Why It Matters
Every person’s brain is unique. sEEG allows us to move from trial-and-error psychiatry to a measured, personalized, and trackable approach.
Fast. Painless. Objective.
No gel. No glue. No discomfort.
Takes just 4 minutes.

What Each Lead Measures:
Fp1 (Left Prefrontal Cortex): Situational awareness; vigilance
Helps monitor the environment and stay alert. Important for attention and risk assessment.
Fp2 (Right Prefrontal Cortex): Impulsivity; decision control; perseveration
Regulates impulsive behavior, repetitive thoughts/actions (perseveration), and decision-making control.FZ (Midline Frontal Cortex): Execution functions; linear tasks
Coordinates goal-oriented behavior, focus, and structured task execution.F3 (Left Frontal Cortex): Expressive language; verbal impulse control
Supports language production and controlling outbursts or verbal impulsivity.F4 (Right Frontal Cortex): Judgement and planning
Involved in higher-order thinking, planning future actions, and evaluating consequences.F7 (Anterior Temporal-Frontal Junction): Language, reading comprehension
Integrates verbal processing and understanding, especially reading comprehension and syntax.F8 (Right Lateral Frontal): Emotional availability
Connects emotional regulation with social responsiveness and empathy.
CZ (Central Midline): Primary somatosensory; gross motor function
Involved in basic body sensation (like touch) and control of large body movements (walking, posture).C3 (Left Central): Right-sided somatosensory; fine motor skills
Controls right-hand fine movements and senses; handwriting, buttoning, etc.C4 (Right Central): Left-sided somatosensory; fine motor skills
Controls left-hand fine movements and body sensations.
T3 (Left Temporal): Auditory processing; sound perception
Processes sound, speech recognition, and phonetic interpretation.T4 (Right Temporal): Auditory processing; sound perception
Non-verbal sound perception (e.g., music, tone), emotional intonation in voices.
PZ (Midline Parietal): Visual memory; cognitive function; dreaming
Integrates visual memories and imagination; also linked with REM/dreaming.P3 (Left Parietal): Visuospatial memory; depth perception
Helps understand spatial orientation and 3D positioning (important for driving, sports, etc.).P4 (Right Parietal): Visuospatial memory; analytical skills
Adds logic, calculations, and analytical problem-solving to spatial memory.P7 (Left Parieto-Occipital): Secondary visual processing; night vision
Supports processing of visual scenes and low-light visuals.P8 (Right Parieto-Occipital): Secondary visual processing; color; shapes
Helps recognize complex visuals like color, form, and abstract patterns.
O1 (Left Occipital): Primary visual processing; visual acuity
Handles initial visual input such as sharpness, brightness, shapes, etc.O2 (Right Occipital): Primary visual processing; visual acuity; depth perception
Adds depth, dimension, and more complex spatial understanding to visual signals.
A2 (Right Ear/Mastoid Area): Heart rate
Sometimes reflects autonomic nervous system signals; may correlate with HR variability or arousal.

Spectral EEG (sEEG) Appointment & Billing Policy
At Alleviant, we believe in transparency and clarity when it comes to your care and billing. Please review the following options for scheduling and payment of spectral EEG (sEEG) services:
If You Are a New Patient Seeking Full-Service Mental Health Care:
You may schedule a comprehensive intake appointment, during which we will discuss whether an sEEG is appropriate for your needs.
If included as part of your overall evaluation and care plan, the sEEG may be included as part of your treatment plan.
If You Are an Established Alleviant Patient:
The cost of your sEEG may already be included in your ongoing appointment charges, depending on your treatment plan.
We recommend discussing this with your provider to confirm how it applies in your case.
If You Only Want an sEEG:
We offer a self-pay option for stand-alone sEEG appointments.
The cash rate is $250.
We do not bill insurance for stand-alone sEEG scans.
NeuroSync™ TMS Treatment Pathways
NeuroSync™ TMS is a personalized, sEEG-guided brain optimization therapy designed to help restore healthy brainwave patterns. Below are the two options for accessing treatment: through insurance or via cash pay.
1. Insurance-Based NeuroSync™ TMS
Eligibility & Preauthorization Requirements:
Ages Under 15:
Not approved by insurance for this age group.
Ages 15–17:
Insurance may approve treatment only with a diagnosis of depression. Preauthorization requirements vary by insurance company.
Ages 18 and Older:
Most insurance plans require:
A diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression or OCD
A current episode of moderate-severe to severe symptoms
Documentation of failure on at least 3 antidepressants
Participation in talk therapy (often required)

Out-of-pocket expenses vary by plan and typically include:
Deductibles
Co-insurance
Co-pays
We recommend contacting your insurance provider for an estimate of coverage.
2. Cash-Pay NeuroSync™ TMS
No diagnosis required. No preauthorization needed. Ages 5+.
This option is based solely on your sEEG brain map and clinical symptoms.
Package Rate: $3,000
