Trusted by clients and featured by leading media
The whole MYndspan process felt reassuring; the right questions were being asked and the testing felt well-designed. Having the knowledge from the MYndspan report has given me incredible relief and a sense of strength and empowerment.
Meghan Mutrie
Former Member of Rugby Canada’s National Senior Women’s Team
A quick 45 min appointment furnished me with easy to understand data and visualizations about my brain and it’s function. It is a fantastic MOT for the brain & offers a huge amount of insightful data
James Wellwood
CEO Reviresco Partners
The entire process at MYndspan was first class and without doubt help me with my future health goals. I would recommend MYndspan to anyone who has been affected by brain injury/concussion. I found the MEG scan simple and most importantly non-intrusive. The hardest thing is staying awake!
James Graham
Former England Rugby League captain
I passionately believe that people should be looking to inform themselves as much as possible – and MYndspan provides a great opportunity to learn about brain function.
Prof Karol Sikora
Founding Dean University of Buckingham medical school, Ex-director of WHO Cancer Programme.
A fun and easy way to get a baseline brain check. Will definitely be back on a regular basis!
Dr. Gina Rippon
Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuroimaging and author of The Gendered Brain
MYndspan offers the perfect opportunity to assess how my brain is doing, which is ideal for me as I work hard to improve my physical and mental health.
Dr. Dean Burnett
Neuroscientist and author of internationally acclaimed bestselling debut book ‘The Idiot Brain‘
A quick 45 minutes and now I feel empowered knowing I’ll be able to track my brain health and be proactive about it. I’ll be coming back routinely to keep tabs on it – like a brain MOT
Martin Corry MBE
Retired England Rugby Captain and Rugby World Cup Winner
MYndspan provided a simple and seamless experience to help me assess and understand the health of my most important organ, my brain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s it like having a MEG scan?
You know those old-fashioned hair dryers? Kind of like that. MEG (magnetoencephalography) is a totally non-invasive technique that does not require any injections, and does not expose you to any radiation. It is simply a super sensitive sensor of magnetic fields. The magnetic fields from our brains are so small that we need to try and remove any magnetic fields created by other things like metal objects and electronics, so the MEG sits within a specific room that blocks out magnetic fields from the environment, and we will ask you to remove any metal/electronics before going into the room.
How often should I get a MYndspan scan?
For most people, once a year is ideal to track how your brain function evolves over time.
If you’re recovering from a concussion, undergoing treatment, or want to monitor changes more closely, we may recommend a scan every 3–6 months.
Does the MEG scan have any side effects?
There are no known side effects from MEG scanning. MEG scanning is completely non-invasive and painless. No applied gels, no noises, and you don’t even have to change clothes.
Do I need to prepare for the scan?
Yes – just a little:
- Avoid caffeine or any non-prescription substances that could affect brain activity.
- Wear clothing without metal (e.g., zippers, underwire).
- Remove jewellery, piercings, or any metal accessories.
Metal can interfere with the MEG’s sensors, as it generates stronger magnetic fields than the brain, reducing the accuracy of your scan.
Why is it important to measure my brain’s function when I haven’t had any injuries?
Obtaining a measurement when you haven’t had injuries allows us to monitor your brain’s function and detect changes over time. This could enable the early identification of cognitive decline and allow for treatment at early stages. As injuries occur, having a baseline assessment can help measure the severity of these injuries.
I get anxiety inside an MRI, how does the MEG scanner compare?
Rather than laying down inside a very large and confining magnet, as you would for an MRI, you only need to place your head in a helmet to complete an MEG scan. This allows for a clear view of your surroundings at all times. Similar to an MRI, the MEG is in a separate room. Technicians will be next door to you, they will be able to see you at all times and you may communicate with them throughout the scan.
What can a MYndspan baseline scan do for me right now?
The report provides a snapshot of your brain activity at the time you had the scan. Each person has a unique pattern of naturally occurring brain activity, which tends to remain stable in the short term. Using your baseline as a reference, we can tell whether your brain activity is meaningfully different on a subsequent scan.
What could a MYndspan baseline scan do for me in the future?
Your brain scan, stored in its raw form, contains an incredible wealth of data. As we continue to analyse data and develop our scientific analysis, we will build a better picture of what “normal” brain activity looks like. Newly discovered insights can be applied to any of your previous scans – when you look at it in this way, the value of your previous scans increases over time.
What will the MYndspan report show me?
Your MYndspan report will give you a breakdown of your performance on the cognitive tasks, both relative to your comparative group, and compared to yourself over time. It will also provide an analysis of your brainwaves and the activity measured in your main brain networks. For illustrative purposes and for context, we sometimes plot these measures against our normative database, however, how you compare is not meaningful. What is meaningful is how your own brain changes over time – you compared to yourself. Which is why we say it’s important to come back and monitor your brain over time.
Does it matter how I compared to the norm?
No! That seems counterintuitive, but brains are so unique it’s like everyone’s brain is their own distinctive fingerprint or QR code. It’s not like one fingerprint is bad and another is good – same with the brain. So for instance, how much activity you have in your brain networks isn’t meaningful in and of itself. What is meaningful is how that activity changes, like the direction and speed of change. This is why we say it’s important to come back and monitor your brain over time. And to have a healthy baseline with which to make future comparisons.
