A Breakthrough Approach to Treating Cognitive Decline
MeRT Treatment Can:
- Slow the progression of mental decline
- Enhance memory and focus
- Improve clear thinking and decision-making
- Make you feel like yourself again!
Our Cognitive Decline Treatment Can Help You Live — and Love — Your Life Again
Decreased mental abilities are a natural part of aging — no matter how much we wish they weren’t. But occasional forgetfulness or muddled thinking isn’t the same as cognitive decline.
Cognitive impairment can be a serious condition. It can come on suddenly or gradually. And it can be scary for the person experiencing it, as well as their family and friends.
When your mental performance declines this way, you may think there’s not much you can do about it. We disagree.
MeRT has helped thousands of people improve their brain function. And we have seen some amazing results using MeRT to slow the progression of cognitive decline.
MeRT stands for Magnetic EEG-guided Resonance Therapy. It is a highly customized use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on sophisticated diagnostics.
This non-invasive, drug-free treatment can help your brain work better. And when your brain works better, your life works better.
You deserve a happy, productive life — for your entire life. MeRT can help you feel like yourself again and enjoy every moment.
I’ve made significant progress in cognitive ability, stress tolerance, and mental clarity. I have been able to handle decisions much better and think more clearly. And I have been able to significantly decrease conflict with my family and actually lead much better.”

What is Cognitive Decline?
Cognitive decline is also called cognitive impairment. It means having trouble in thinking, memory, concentration, and other brain functions beyond what we typically see as we age.
Cognitive decline can be permanent or temporary, and how fast it progresses can vary. It depends on what’s causing the decline and individual factors. Illness, injury, and health habits can affect how much and how fast mental abilities change.
Stages of Cognitive Decline
- Normal Aging: You experience minor changes in thinking, but they have little impact on your daily life.
- Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): You notice a decline in memory, reasoning, and judgment compared to others your age. This doesn’t interfere with daily functioning.
- Early-Stage Dementia: You experience issues like memory loss, language difficulties, and behavior changes. People can often still perform basic daily tasks at this stage.
- Middle Stage Dementia: This is a more severe cognitive decline with worsening memory problems. People at this stage rely far more on others for daily tasks.
- Late-Stage Dementia: In this advanced stage, you see severe memory impairment and communication problems. People may also become bedridden.
One thing is certain: it’s vital to diagnose this condition as early as possible. If you suspect you may have something more than normal age-related mental decline, please see a doctor.
Also, even if the decline has progressed, MeRT may be able to provide symptom relief.

How MeRT Can Improve Brain Function to Relieve Symptoms
Since each brain is unique, cognitive decline affects everyone differently since every brain is unique. That’s what makes MeRT such a breakthrough. We customize our treatment based on your unique brainwave patterns.
First, we perform a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram), also called brain mapping. This helps us see your brainwave patterns and note where they are out of sync. We then plan a personalized program of TMS to stimulate specifically targeted areas. Our goal is to achieve global synchrony, where all brainwaves are firing at the same frequency.
The equipment used is FDA-cleared to treat Major Depressive Disorder and OCD and is used off-label to treat a wide variety of conditions, including Cognitive Decline.
By getting brainwaves black in sync, we can improve brain communication and organization. And as we strengthen the brainwave activity, this can improve brain performance.

Is MeRT is the Right Treatment?
Contact our New Patient Coordinator
Or fill in the form at the bottom of the page for more information or to book an initial consultation.
We understand that MeRT is new, and you may not be certain if this is the right treatment. You don’t have to make that decision immediately. First, get more information in a simple phone consultation with our New Patient Coordinator.
During this no-obligation consultation, you can discuss symptoms and history, ask questions, and have her explain our protocols, fees, and treatment details. Then, if you choose to take the next step, we can set up appointments for testing and consultation. Each of these appointments takes 45 minutes to an hour. The steps of MeRT treatment are as follows:
Step 1
Testing and Consultation
At the first appointment, our neurotechnician will perform a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) and an EKG. Both are simple, painless, and non-invasive tests that will show us exactly what is happening in your or your child’s brain.
Our scientific teams will then analyze the results to better understand your brain state. All MeRT treatment parameters are approved by a licensed neurosurgeon or physician.
A few days later, after we have analyzed the test results, you will have a one-on-one consultation with your clinician. You can attend this appointment either in person or virtually.
During your consultation, you’ll discuss the test results and analysis and get any additional questions answered. Then, together, you and your clinician will determine if you or your child are a candidate for MeRT treatment.
Step 2
Treatment Period
When you and your clinician decide to move forward, we will schedule four weeks of treatment. We perform treatments daily, Monday to Friday, and a typical treatment session takes about 35-45 minutes.
For each treatment session, you will sit in a comfortable chair while our neurotech administers TMS treatment using a hand-held magnet near the scalp.
We deliver the magnetic impulses for 6-8 seconds each minute, and you may feel a slight sensation, like gentle taps on the head, which is not painful.
Step 3
Monitoring and Follow-up
We will perform another qEEG in the middle of the treatment program and compare it to the original baseline qEEG. We do this to ensure you are always receiving the most effective treatment parameters.
Your clinician will also meet with you throughout the treatment to manage your progress closely.
At the end of the treatment period, which normally lasts from 4 to 6 weeks, we will perform another qEEG to review progress.
In some cases, we recommend additional treatment to get the best possible results from MeRT. Everyone responds differently, so treatment protocols can vary.
After successful therapy, it may be necessary to continue with occasional “upkeep” to ensure benefits are maintained.
Hear it from the Patients
Read these successes from people who have optimized their brain function with MeRT
“I am amazed at the positive physiological and cognitive impact that resulted from MeRT treatment. I am able to process information more readily, recall and retrieve past experiences, facts, and memories much better, and have improved sleep and more energy. All of this from a relatively short span of treatments that were non-invasive, painless, and short in duration.
“The treatment team at MIND ALGN was knowledgeable, provided excellent customer service, and walked me through every step of the process with a great attitude. I look forward to occasionally having additional treatments to further improve my outcomes.”
Optimization Patient
“I had a specific issue, tinnitus, a 24/7 loud ringing in my ear created as the result of a past cancer radiation treatment.
“I learned to live with it as a quality of life change until I received several MIND ALGN treatments that were specifically designed for tinnitus. In only three treatments, about 85% of the ringing in my ear had stopped to the point where I barely noticed it.
“After having this problem for 10 years, to see such fast results was amazing, and I cannot wait to go back.”
Tinnitus and Brain Optimization Patient
“I am a relatively healthy adult male in my mid-forties and deal with the normal day-to-day issues as most people. In recent years, I noticed my ability to multitask has diminished, my memory is not what it used to be, I am easily agitated, and I can’t recall the last time I slept for more than 3-4 continuous hours. I also have a Sensory Processing Disorder that is mostly triggered by sound.
“I have seen vast improvements across the board since receiving MeRT treatment at MIND ALGN. It is truly night and day from before. MIND ALGN is the real deal!”

The Doctors and Scientists Working Behind the Scenes for Every Patient
Once you have done your qEEG and provided information about your conditions, symptoms, history, past treatments, and other vital information, we send this information to the doctors and scientists at Wave Neuro, the parent company behind MeRT technology.
There, they perform an extensive review and complete analysis of your diagnostics and information. They use a patented approach with your neurophysiological data to develop a completely customized treatment plan. The goal is to improve your brain connectivity, communication, and function.
All MeRT treatment parameters are approved by a licensed neurosurgeon or physician and followed exactly at our clinic for each patient.
Talk to Our New Patient Coordinator for More Information
Our New Patient Coordinator is here Monday to Friday and can help you with any questions you may have. There is no obligation to call and talk to her. She is happy to explain more about MeRT, our protocols for treatment, fees, insurance questions, and more.
If, at any point, you are interested in looking into treatment further, she can also schedule you or your child for the next steps, a qEEG (non-invasive brain scan) followed by a consultation several days later.
Once the qEEG is done, the doctors and scientists at Wave Neuro will carefully study and analyze your testing and symptoms. Our clinician will then discuss the results with you and show you what is happening neurologically.
At this point, we can determine if you or your loved one may benefit from MeRT treatment, and you can decide if you would like to move forward.
