Prism Neurofeedback
For PTSD & Depression
Prism is a brain training therapy designed to help people with PTSD and depression. It uses real-time brain activity feedback to help you learn how to better control your symptoms.
Prism is the first FDA-approved neurofeedback device specifically designed for treating PTSD and depression. Unlike medication, Prism is completely non-invasive and drug-free.
How it Works
Prism teaches you to control your own brain patterns using your thoughts. The treatment uses a computer that can read your brain activity and turn it into a game-like experience where your thoughts control what happens on screen.
Its AI system was trained on functional MRI (fMRI) brain scans, and now can operate without them. The computer uses machine learning to decode which of your thoughts is the most able to heal your trauma, or depression.
1. Setup
You wear a soft cap with sensors that reads your brain activity. No fMRI scan needed.
2. Brain Training

3. Learn Your Strategy
Discover which mental strategies work best and practice them at home. Examples include singing a song in your head or imagining yourself floating in space.
