Around 1% of the global population, nearly 80 million, suffers from epilepsy. A third of cases do not respond to available medication, and these have been our focus in early trials. Current treatments range from long-term medication to vagus nerve stimulation and brain surgery, each of which has disadvantages, ranging from damaging long-term side effects to surgical risk.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n X-System works by selecting music that has patterns similar to those in the electrical activity of an individual patient\u2019s brain when it is behaving normally and playing it to them overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Adapted for nighttime listening and played during sleep, the music acts directly on the brain, causing it to synchronise with patterns in the music, replicating and extending healthy brainwave activity.<\/span>The diagrams below show the EEG of one subject in our initial pilot study before and after listening to the X-System playlist<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”default”]EEG before listening to playlist\u00a0<\/span>[\/split_line_heading][image_with_animation image_url=”495″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”default”]EEG after listening to playlist\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>[\/split_line_heading][image_with_animation image_url=”496″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”center”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1662799849370{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n Our aim is to reduce epileptic spike activity and improve sleep architecture, particularly by increasing the proportion of REM sleep \u2013 the healthy sleep phase<\/span><\/p>\n Initial results have been encouraging and we are currently engaged in further trials as we seek to confirm the effectiveness of our treatment and seek medical certification<\/span><\/p>\n We expect the same process to be applicable to sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic distress syndrome (PTSD).
