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:

  • Under- or over-activity in emotional regulation areas

  • Communication issues between brain regions

  • Patterns linked to depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, and more

  • Cognitive inefficiencies related to memory, attention, and sleep

  • The impact of toxins, stress, or nutritional deficiencies on your brain

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 — 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.

Your Brain Deserves Data

Imagine trying to treat a heart condition without an EKG — or diabetes without checking blood sugar. That’s how psychiatry has worked for too long.
