Strengthen Learning Stamina and Follow-Through†
Individual brain mapping and adaptive stimulation aimed at easing start friction, improving focus windows, and supporting smoother recall alongside educational supports and accommodations.
Learning differences can show up as slow reading or problem-solving, limited working-memory capacity, frequent re-reading, and hard starts on written work. Stress and poor sleep often narrow attention windows further. EXOMIND applies individualized mapping and precise, noninvasive stimulation intended to nudge attention and cognitive-control networks toward a steadier, more efficient baseline. It is an adjunct to tutoring, school/college accommodations, and strategy coaching—not a replacement.
EXOMIND at a Glance
Personalized targeting informed by symptoms, sleep/circadian patterns, and history
Awake, noninvasive, drug-free sessions (no anesthesia or recovery downtime)
Typical course: brief weekday sessions over a few weeks with session-by-session tuning
We track clinical outcomes throughout your treatment journey
Who It May Help
- Reading accuracy/fluency challenges with frequent re-reading and fatigue
- Working-memory limits (losing the thread, holding steps in mind) that hinder multi-step tasks
- Slow processing speed affecting classwork, tests, or homework duration
- Written-expression bottlenecks: planning, organizing, and getting started
- Co-occurring stress or irregular sleep that tightens attention windows
- Preference to keep medication changes minimal while continuing tutoring and accommodations
How EXOMIND Works
After a focused intake and mapping session, EXOMIND delivers patterned magnetic pulses to cortical hubs involved in stress regulation and cognitive control. Parameters are adjusted across visits to encourage healthier network connectivity and a steadier autonomic set point.
What to Expect
You remain awake and laying down. Most people feel rhythmic tapping on the scalp; mild, brief sensitivity or headache can occur and typically resolves quickly. Early changes may include improved wind-down at night, fewer spikes in reactivity, and easier recovery after stressors.
Candidacy & Safety
We screen for medical contraindications (e.g., specific metal implants, seizure history). EXOMIND is generally well tolerated. If you use medications or therapy, we can coordinate care; changes are not required to begin unless advised for safety.
Important Information
This page is educational and not a guarantee of benefit. Individual results vary, and risks and uncertainties exist with any medical intervention. All patients complete a thorough evaluation and an informed-consent process reviewing potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
Before Your Visit
- ✓Track study time, focus blocks, and number of re-reads or step re-checks for 1–2 weeks
- ✓Note sleep timing, high-distraction periods, and assignment types that are hardest
- ✓Share prior evaluations (e.g., psychoeducational testing/IEP/504), current supports, and sensitivities
- ✓Choose 2–3 concrete goals (e.g., +15 minutes sustained reading, fewer re-reads per page, faster start on writing by 5 minutes)
Frequently Asked Questions
1When might I notice change?
Over a few weeks, early shifts are often practical: the time to start homework or a writing task shortens by a few minutes, focus blocks lengthen slightly, re-reads per page drop, and it’s easier to keep one or two steps in mind during multi-step work. These gains can build across the series and may continue to consolidate afterward while you maintain tutoring, accommodations, and study routines.
2How many sessions are typical for EXOMIND?
Courses commonly involve brief weekday sessions over a few weeks. The exact number and schedule are personalized after your mapping and consultation; some patients consider additional sessions if benefits wane.
3Can EXOMIND be combined with my current treatment?
Yes. EXOMIND is non-pharmacologic and can be coordinated with existing medications and psychotherapy. Changes to medication are not required to begin unless advised for safety.
4What side effects are most common?
Mild scalp discomfort or headache can occur and typically resolves on its own or with simple measures. We review safety and comfort strategies during consent.
5How do you select brain targets?
We are able to identify the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC), based on your unique anatomy, within minutes.
6What if I don’t feel progress?
Results will vary. For refractory cases, we suggest a multi-modal approach and will explore your individualized treatment plan for further performance optimization.
7Can I work or drive after sessions?
Most people resume normal activities immediately. If you experience a headache or unusual fatigue, brief rest is recommended before driving.
8How are payments handled?
EXOMIND Santa Monica is a direct-pay practice.
