The Axon system is harnessing the latest science and AI technology to make EEG Neurofeedback therapy faster, better and much cheaper.

Conventional EEG Neurofeedback treatments are complicated and costly for both the patient and the doctor – requiring regular attendance at a specialist clinic and equipment costing many thousands of dollars. Consequently, it has not been extensively used for the treatment of chronic pain and other ailments.  Instead, Axon allows the clinician to prescribe a series of EEG Neurofeedback treatment sessions that the patient can undertake at their convenience in the comfort of their own home.

This involves a patient wearing the Axon – a custom-designed EEG headset that passively reads the electrical activity associated with pain in their brain.

This data is transmitted wirelessly to an app on the patient’s mobile device and visually represented in the app via neurological exercises (in the form of simple animated games) undertaken by the patient. These exercises take 35 minutes and are repeated several times a week in the first eight weeks.

Through real-time visual feedback, the patient learns to neuromodulate how their brain interprets pain signals, thereby reducing their pain.

By using the Axon system on a regular basis (about 30 minutes per day) over the course of several weeks, the patient learns how to ‘retrain’ how their brain perceives and responds to pain. This process is called “neuromodulation”.

* Because Axon is a passive device there are almost no side effects however some patients might feel a little fatigued or have a mild headache after concentrating for the 30-minute session. No lasting or serious side effects have ever been reported from using Axon.
