Imagine your brain is like a very busy orchestra, with different sections playing different instruments. For most folks, this orchestra plays in harmony, with each section communicating smoothly and at the right time.
Now, with autism, it's a bit like some parts of the orchestra might be playing too loudly, or too quietly, or maybe even a little out of sync with each other.
This can make it harder for the brain to do certain things, like understanding what others are feeling, having conversations, or sometimes leading to repetitive behaviors.
BrainsWay Deep TMS® is like a very gentle, very precise tuning fork for your brain's orchestra.
We place a special helmet on your head, and inside it are coils that create a gentle magnetic pulse.1 This pulse isn't painful, it feels more like a light tapping.
This magnetic pulse travels safely into specific areas of the brain that we know are often "out of tune" in people with autism.
When these gentle pulses reach those brain cells, they help to "reset" or "tune" the activity of those cells.
Think of it this way...
If a part is too quiet: The magnetic pulse can encourage those brain cells to become a bit more active, like encouraging a quiet section of the orchestra to play a bit louder.
If a part is too loud: The pulse can also help to calm down overactive areas, bringing them back into balance, like telling a noisy section to play a little softer.
If parts are out of sync: By gently nudging these brain areas, Deep TMS helps them communicate better and get back in rhythm with each other, so the whole brain orchestra can play more harmoniously.
Over time, with repeated sessions, this gentle "tuning" helps the brain's pathways and connections to work more effectively. This can lead to improvements in areas that are often challenging for adults with Autism.
It's a non-invasive way to help the brain learn to work better, promoting a more balanced and efficient "orchestra" in the head.
And because it's targeted, it's mainly affecting the parts of the brain that need attention, without causing widespread effects like some medications might.
