About us
Brain Mind & Memory Institute (BMMI)- is a private foundation established to promote application of neuroscience based methods in mental and brain health.
Main goals of the Brain Mind & Memory Institute:
- Support Research & Development of Neurotechnologies both within Australia and internationally.
- Contribute to improving Brain Diagnostics in clinical practice using qEEG (Quantitative EEG) and ERPs (Event Related Potentials) techniques.We have established an extended network of experts around Australia and overseas who are actively implementing Neuromarkers in clinical practice.
We closely work with our scientific adviser
as well as our consultants and collaborators:

Dr. Phil Watts, MindState PsychologyA former Director of the US National Institute of Mental Health Tom Insel has put the essence of this Neuroscience based Renaissance in Mental health into simple words:
"The field of mental health is on the cusp of a revolution, which is set to transform the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and reverse the lack of major progress made in curbing associated ill health and death over the past 100 years...
...We are at an extraordinary moment when the entire scientific foundation for mental health is shifting, with the 20th century discipline of psychiatry becoming the 21st century discipline of clinical neuroscience,” Thomas Insel, before a meeting on the challenges facing mental health research at the Royal Society in London on 31 August 2014.Watch the extraordinary recent presentation by Dr Thomas Insel:
In order to achieve our goals we collaborate and partner with many like-minded national and international organisations, universities and neuroscience laboratories, clinical practices and individual researchers and practitioners (see Networking & links).
