How do I start with Sonal? What’s the process? 

The Sonal is personalized to each individual’s brain. To begin using the Sonal you are first required to get a brainwave recording to detect your alpha frequency to pin-point a treatment protocol specific to your brain.  

There are 3 simple steps to the Sonal process. 

Brainwave Recording- Get some insights into your brain function. Get a Brainwave Recording and Braincare report for a baseline starting point as well as to generate a personalized protocol for the Sonal. You can get a recording at any of Wave Neuro’s Braincare partners.

Sonal Sesssions- Get Stimulated! A Sonal cycle consists of 30 sessions over 30 days, each lasting for just 30 minutes.

Re-Evaluation Brainwave Recording. Look how far you’ve come! Hop back into your preferred clinic for a progress report on your brainwaves to see how far you’ve come along in your optimization!

How do I connect to the Sonal?

Each user will download the BraincareTM app from the app store or Google Play store and will each have their own individual login where their personalized protocol will be stored. You will receive your login information only once you’ve had your Brainwave Recording.

How long should I use the Sonal? 

Sonal is used for 30 at-home sessions over 30 days, each lasting for just 30 minutes.

Where should I use my Sonal?

Suggested use is eyes closed in a quiet, comfortable space for 30 minutes each day. 

Does the Sonal hurt? 

Not at all! The Sonal gently vibrates against your head while generating the alternating magnetic field. The sensation should not hurt or cause discomfort. If you experience pain or discomfort, pause the device and remove the headset.

Can I listen to music while using the Sonal? 

Can I use the Sonal if I have metal dental appliances (braces, retainers, etc.) affixed to my teeth?

Yes.

What time should I use the Sonal?

We recommend users start out by using their Sonal either first thing in the morning, or at least before beginning the workday.  Some users find that the Sonal leaves them energized and unable to fall asleep if they use it too late in the day, so we recommend users first use the Sonal in the morning to experience its effects before experimenting with use later in the day.

Are there contraindications that disqualify me from using the sonal?

Pacemaker / Defibrillator/ Vagal Nerve Stimulator/ VP Shunt/ Magnetic intracranial shunts /Deep Brain Stimulator /Epidural Cortical stimulator /Steel shunts/stents

Cranial metal fragments (i.e. shrapnel, excluding titanium)

Cochlear implant

Aneurysm clips, coils, pipelines flow diversion

Pregnant or breast feeding

Primary brain cancer / metastatic legions in brain (unless palliative care)

Magnetic dental implants

Implanted cardio-verter defibrillators (ICD)

Ocular implants

How many people can use my Sonal? 

The pre-order VIP offer includes unlimited Sonal sessions for up to 5 users in your household. 

How does Sonal know my peak alpha / how is it personalized?

The Sonal will be informed by your own personalized protocol. The Sonal is built on the same platform as MeRT, which means Sonal users have access to the same EEG-guided Braincare service from anywhere. After getting a 10min EEG at any of Wave's Braincare Partner locations, each Sonal user receives an individual Braincare plan specific to their brain. That personalized protocol is uploaded to their individual Sonal account via the cloud. Sonal users will use the Braincare app to login (password protected) to their individual account, and connect to their Sonal device via Bluetooth. The individual's specific Braincare plan informs their personalized Sonal session.

How do Sonal Sessions compare to in-clinic MeRT? 

MeRT is a technology that is prescribed by physicians utilizing an FDA class 2 neuromodulation device (TMS). During the course of treatment the physician will oversee complicated medical cases, pharmaceutical usage and the very rare adverse effect. 

Sonal is a wellness device used by healthy individuals to optimize and improve performance with neuromodulation. The energy level of Sonal is much lower than with MeRT, and the safety profile is high. Sonal is 1/100th of the stimulation of MeRT, but consistent stimulation through 30 minute sessions. 

How long is my protocol good for?

The protocol given prior to usage is good for up to 4 months. This is different from MeRT, due to the lower energy levels of neuromodulation. 

What is the warranty/repair/maintenance?

There is a 12 month limited warranty on the Sonal device
