What is our technology and how does it work?

We all know that music affects the way we feel.

X-System has modelled the way that patterns in music are processed by different parts of the human brain.

This enables us to select music to make targeted changes to electrical brainwave activity in individual patients.

Our first treatment is for intractable epilepsies – trademarked X-SEPT.

A representation of how the various systems within the brain interact with music in the INRM theory.

Introducing X-SEPT

Certified as a Class 1 non-invasive medical device in the UK and EU.

How it works
  • A patient spends two nights in hospital for overnight brain scans (EEGs).
  • A neurologist identifies periods of healthy brainwave activity.
  • We convert this EEG data into its audio equivalent: 'the sound of the brain working.'
  • X-System searches for music with patterns that match this sound.
  • The resulting playlist is adapted for overnight listening and played during sleep.
  • The aim is that the brain synchronises unconsciously.

A pilot study involving 20 severely epileptic patients, all of whom had continued to experience seizures despite pharmaceutical treatment, showed statistically significant results.

NHS England is currently trialling X-SEPT as a treatment for adults.
