The Research Studies and Science of MeRT

Research Builds the Foundation of Our Approach to Brain Treatment

MeRT is an innovative, targeted treatment based on powerful third-party research. This research has been published in the most prestigious scientific journals.

Here is some of the peer-reviewed and published research regarding EEGs, rTMS, and MeRT.
