THE NSFL1 NEUROSCAN EXAM

How NSFL1 NeuroScan Works

A non-invasive, 45-minute session on an objective, FDA-cleared device, followed by machine learning analysis and a complete board-certified neurologist overread.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The NSFL1 NeuroScan Diagnostic Package

One objective, FDA-cleared device delivers a diagnostic group of seven components:

EEG

A 21-channel recording of the brain's electrical activity, eyes open and eyes closed.

Quantitative EEG (qEEG)

That activity compared statistically against a normative database.

ERP

Millisecond-level measures of how quickly the brain responds to visual and auditory stimuli.

EKG

A cardiac recording with rhythm analysis and heart rate variability.

Brain Mapping

Z-scored head maps and 3D LORETA source maps showing where activity falls outside the normal range.

Machine Learning Analysis

Models trained on more than 200,000 qEEG, ERP and neuropsychological reports flag patterns associated with mTBI.

Completed board-certified neurologist overread

Clinical findings and brain maps in a written report.

Also captured during the same visit: reaction-time testing and a patient symptom self-assessment.

WHAT WE TEST FOR

mTBI, PTSD, ADHD and up to Ten Neural Biomarkers

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

Functional markers of concussion and brain injury, including after normal CT or MRI.

ADHD

Testing for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder from

the same recording.

PTSD

Testing for post-traumatic stress disorder alongside the brain injury evaluation.

Up to 10 CPT-coded neural biomarkers

Each study can report up to ten neural biomarkers, each billed under its own CPT code.

Step-by-Step

Referral

A physician completes the NSFL1 NeuroScan Imaging Referral Form; our team contacts the patient to schedule.

Testing visit

A comfortable sensor cap records brain activity while the patient rests and completes simple on-screen tasks (about 30 minutes).

Analysis

Recordings are compared against normative data, mapped, and run through machine learning models trained on 200,000+ qEEG, ERP and neuropsychological reports.

Neurologist overread

A board-certified neurologist completes a full overread and issues a report with clinical findings and brain maps.

Report delivered

The report goes to the referring physician to support clinical decision-making.

WHAT THE EXAM MEASURES — KEY MARKERS

Brain Responses, Measured to the Millisecond

ERP testing records the brain's direct response to a sight, a sound or a task. Each result is compared against a normative reference and graded on an easy-to-read A-F color scale.

Marker
What it reflects
Reference

Visual reaction (N2)

How quickly the brain registers what it sees

< 220 ms

Auditory sensation (P2)

How quickly the brain registers what it hears

< 120 ms

Attention / vigilance (P300)

Focus and attention during a go/no-go task

< 340 ms

Information processing / working memory (N400)

Speed of higher-level thinking

< 480 ms

Reaction time & variance

Physical response speed and consistency

350-500 ms; variance < 10 ms

Missed & wrong responses

Errors of omission (missed) and commission (impulsive or incorrect)

≤ 6% missed; ≤ 4% wrong

EEG frequency markers

Peak alpha frequency, theta/beta ratio, frontal alpha asymmetry, alpha reactivity

Age-normed ranges

WHAT'S IN THE REPORT

A Report Built for the Treating Physician

Key findings summary

Page one gives scores against norms for every major test, plus a plain-language physician summary.

Brain maps

Z-scored head maps across 15 frequency bands, eyes open and closed, plus 3D LORETA source maps.

Regional deviations

Brain areas outside the normal range are listed with the function each area supports (e.g., short-term memory, sustained attention).

Connectivity & trends

Coherence maps, power ratios and full EEG trend and spike analysis.

Pattern analysis

Discriminant analysis flags EEG patterns commonly seen with mTBI, PTSD and ADHD, rated on a 1-5 scale, as an adjunct to clinical evaluation.

Literature-based considerations

Intervention considerations with cited published references to support treatment planning.

TIMING — WHEN TO TEST

The Ideal Testing Window

Window
What it means

Days 0–30 (acute)

The brain is still in metabolic recovery, and many concussions resolve on their own within 3–6 weeks.

Days 31–90

(recommended)

If symptoms persist past 30 days, this window offers the best opportunity to capture objective functional markers.

Day 91+ (chronic)

Testing can still document lasting changes and may help establish persistence of symptoms. Mood-related markers may also appear.

Patients whose symptoms persist beyond 30 days should talk with their treating physician about scheduling a NSFL1 NeuroScan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

NSFL1 NeuroScan Exam Questions

Is it painful or invasive?

No. There are no needles, no radiation and no injections.

How long does it take?

Plan for about an hour at the office; the recording itself is about 30 minutes.

What does the patient do?

Rest quietly with eyes open and closed, then respond to simple pictures and sounds on a screen.

Does it diagnose a brain injury by itself?

No. Results are interpreted in the context of the patient's history and exam; the final diagnosis rests with the treating physician.

Does it replace CT or MRI?

No. It complements structural imaging with functional information.

Who reads the results?

Every study receives a complete overread by a board-certified neurologist.
