Brain Music Therapy - BMT
WHAT IS BMT ?
Brain Music Therapy is an effective, scientifically proven treatment for stress, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It has also been found to increase productivity and concentration.sounds. These musical sounds correlate to brain waves that promote relaxation and trigger activation in your body. The musical sounds are presented to you in the form of two musical files – one relaxing, and one activating. Playing those files promotes relaxation and activation in your body.
Brain Music Therapy does not involve taking pills and has had no side effects to date. It is customized to an individual’s unique brain waves and backed by solid scientific evidence, including double-blind studies. The treatment is simple and easy: listening to the music made by your own brain waves.
That soundtrack is music made from your own brain waves.This music is known as BRAIN MUSIC THERAPY (BMT).BMT is one of the form of biofeedback, neurofeedback, where brain waves tend to recognize themselves when you ‘hear’, ‘play’ them back to yourself.When this happens, your brain waves are more responsive, allowing you to more accurately manipulate them, raising or lowering their frequency to your desire.
Therefore, music generated from your own brain waves allows you to experience longer-lasting, more sustainable effects than listening to other music. As a result, you can use your own brain waves, your ultimate soundtrack to train your brain to achieve higher levels of calmness, alertness, and balance at the push of a button.
Yes, you can do it on your own and wherever and whenever you want. It’s put in MP3 format for you so can ‘carry your optimal mindset’ with you in your pocket! And of course, like any other training program, to make your treatment successful you need to practice. When you practice listening to your own relaxing brain waves, twice a day and extra times when needed, you will make your brain waves more relaxed and yourself a less anxious, more balanced person, who sleeps much better. When you practice listening to your activating track, your brain waves will be trained to reach your optimal alertness, even per specific situations if you choose to train that way, so you’ll feel energized, optimized and happy and you will focus and perform better.
Extensive clinical experience shows that BMT is effective in helping you achieve alertness, calmness, improved organizational skills, emotional strength, improved mood, and sharpened memory. Many people have reported that they have been able to reduce and even completely eliminate their need for sleep and anti-anxiety medications as a result of BMT.
The best part is that BMT, like all your playlist tunes, is noninvasive, has no negative side effects, and is enjoyable. It’s much more cost-effective than most medications. You can also use it just like you would any other playlist. You can download it onto your iPod, with all your other playlists, and carry it right in your pocket. Brain Music Therapy finds, records, and reinforces brain waves that are associated with various physiological parameters, such as heart rate and muscle tension.
The procedure:
1. The physician provides a brief medical evaluation.
2. The patient fills out two questionnaires: Beck Depression Inventory and Subjective Sleep Scale.
3. The individual’s key brain wave patterns are recorded using EEG equipment. The recording time is about 5 to 10 minutes, and the duration of the entire procedure is approximately 20-25 minutes. The procedure is painless and non-invasive.
4. For an optimal recording, patients have to keep still and attempt to bring themselves to a relaxed state.
5. The individual’s brain wave patterns are processed through algorithms, which extract key healing rhythms and translate them into a sound-based format of two musical compositions.
6. In approximately 2-5days, the patients receive their personal brain music CD, which includes recommendations by a licensed physician.
Brain music therapy was developed in the early 1990s, at the Moscow Medical Academy, in Russia. Following long-term efforts of a group of neurophysiologists, clinicians, special technology was developed to turn a person’s unique brain waves into piano music. This technology and treatment became known as BMT.
The main BMT center is located in New York City, but there are several affiliate providers you can access across the country (for a list of providers, see the website)
