Brain Sensing EEG for Addiction Recovery Dr. Scott Burwell Neurotype

Future of Psychiatry! Innovations in Mental Health

Dr. Scott Burwell, PhD spoke about the company he founded, Neurotype. Neurotype is building brain sensing tools that help patients recognize situations in which they feel triggered to help determine the effectiveness of treatment on brain reactivity and cravings. This would allow you to incorporate elements of CBT and mindfulness based on information gathered from the device. It would also help a clinician and patient to track the effectiveness of therapy over time. The goal is to help the patient better identify triggers, and then learn how to become less triggered by them.
