Has anyone tried brain mapping? I have only read very positive experiences about it. Frankly my only concern is that the insurance wouldn’t cover it.
Thank you in advance.
if you mean has anyone had an MRI (brain scan) that tells their doctors which parts of their brain is responding to looking at pictures, lights, smells, when they are asked to touch something.... the answer is yes I have had to have MRI's and other brain scans as part of my being diagnosed with MS (multiple Sclerosis - a neurological/physical health problem) what this did for my doctors was told them which parts of my brains functions were being affected by my having ms. example my speech is mildly affected, my motor skills are mildly affected, eye sight and reaction time is affected....

since 2013 here where I am (NY) brain scans (brain mapping ) is used to rule out mental disorders, if the problem is being caused by something physical they know its not a mental disorder problem in me.
