Note from the ghost in the machine: Were I reading this, I’d be thinking something like, "I know you call yourself 1boringoldman, but don’t you think you’re pushing your luck? Why are you reviewing a company that sells self-help brain training programs and mental health screening for GP’s offices?" Fear not, we’re about to be picking up steam. By the end of the next post, we’re going to be doing MRIs, traversing the genome, locating biomarkers, recommending and discovering new drugs, and revolutionizing the world of personalized medicine.

- Management plan – supporting decisions treatment initiation or specialist referral
- Reviews – a time schedule for follow up assessment

Another note from the ghost in the machine: That’s enough for this time. So far, Brain Resources is a small company doing web-based brain training and neuro-psychiatric assessments using proprietary instruments. Their markets are individuals, corporate clients, and general physicians offices for mental health and some mental illness screening. Their financial growth has been moderate, but steady since they started. In the next installments, we’ll look at their more expansive plans for the future and connect Brain Resource, BRAINnet, and Personalized Medicine.

Isn’t that the same as adding “MD” after your name, Steve?
I’m talking about the signature, Stephany.
