TMS, done with precision…not guesswork.

Most Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation protocols rely on generalized head measurements to estimate where to place the coil. Dr. Mark Liker takes a different approach.

Using the ATLAS™ method, Dr. Liker maps each patient’s unique white matter tracts before treatment begins identifying the specific neural structures and connectivity pathways that matter most based on your symptoms. Instead of a one-size-fits-all target, treatment is guided by your brain’s actual architecture.

This is what precision medicine looks like in practice: less trial and error, more targeted care, and a treatment plan built around the patient in front of him, not an average.

Because when it comes to the brain, “close enough” isn’t good enough.

Fact vs. Myth: “TMS isn’t covered by insurance.”

MYTH. TMS is covered by many major commercial insurance plans, including coverage for FDA-cleared indications such as depression and OCD.

Coverage and eligibility vary by plan, so the best way to know if you qualify is to speak with our intake team!

Your brain has highways.

White matter is the wiring, the myelinated tracts that carry signals between regions. When those tracts get damaged or under-used after a TBI, concussion, or years of depression, the signal slows. The regions are still there. The connection between them is the problem.

Here's what most people don't know: white matter can be trained.

Myelin isn't fixed. It remodels based on how often a circuit fires. Fire a pathway repeatedly and the body reinforces it thicker insulation, faster conduction, cleaner signal. That's neuroplasticity happening in the wiring itself, not just the endpoints.

Accelerated TMS is a way to drive those reps without asking you to do the work. No effort, no homework, no willpower required. The magnetic pulses do the firing. Your brain does the learning.

Passive learning. Thousands of reps in a session. Repeated across days.

And as the circuits get more efficient, that's often when symptoms start to shift, mood, focus, sleep, the fog that never fully lifted after the hit.

You don't push through a bad connection. You rebuild it.

Most brain care starts with an average.

A tape measure across the scalp. A landmark. A standard distance forward. It’s a reasonable estimate, but it’s built on where the target sits in the average brain, and it lands off-mark more often than most people realize.

We start with your scan.

Before a single session, we image your brain. Not to confirm you qualify to find out where your circuits actually live. The region we’re aiming for doesn’t sit in the same place in every skull. It shifts. Yours is yours.

That scan becomes a map. The map becomes coordinates. The coordinates guide every session after it same target, same angle, every time.

Generalized care treats the condition.

We treat the brain that has it.
Your scan. Your target. Your protocol.

Your brain has a baseline frequency. We measure it before we treat.

Every brain has a dominant resting rhythm, the alpha peak, typically somewhere between 8 and 12 Hz. It’s individual to you. It’s measurable. And it shifts when the brain is under strain.

After a concussion, a stretch of poor sleep, or sustained cognitive load, that peak tends to slow. Patients usually feel it before they can name it: the fog, the delayed word, the second read of the same paragraph.

At BrainStim Centers, we map that rhythm with qEEG before the first TMS session, not after. That reading informs where we set stimulation frequency for your brain specifically, instead of defaulting to a fixed protocol.

Then we re-measure. Alpha peak becomes an objective marker of change, tracked alongside how you’re actually functioning.

Precision isn’t a premium tier here. It’s the starting point.

Some patients hesitate to start treatment because they assume it’s going to be a heavy lift, that they’ll have to work at it, push through it, perform.

TMS isn’t that.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses focused magnetic energy to gently stimulate the regions of the brain tied to mood, focus, and recovery. It’s noninvasive. No anesthesia, no sedation, no downtime and no mental effort required from you. You sit, you rest, and the treatment does the work.

Many of our patients describe the session as deeply calming. That state right before you drift off to sleep, settled, quiet, almost meditative but fully awake and aware the entire time.

That stillness is what allows our approach to work the way it should. Every protocol at BrainStim Centers is mapped to the individual: your brain, your history, your goals. Precision where it matters most to you.

TMS is one of the most well-established, non-invasive tools in modern psychiatry and neuroscience. What Dr. Mark Liker, a neurosurgeon, built at BrainStim Centers is a more precise application of it.

Your own brain MRI to map the treatment site to your anatomy, a qEEG to find your individual alpha peak frequency, and neuro-navigation that holds the target session after session.

Your brain, your coordinates, your protocol.

And we don’t ask you to guess whether it’s working. Pre-screening establishes your baseline before day one. Post-screening measures against it. The change gets tracked, not assumed.

By Friday, patients tend to describe it the same way… quieter. Clearer. Like the volume came down on something they’d stopped noticing was loud.

Six days. One brain. Measured, start to finish.

TMS and ECT are not the same.

TMS is non-invasive, done while you’re awake, and doesn’t require anesthesia.
ECT is a different treatment with a very different process.

Understanding your options is the first step toward informed care.
