Honest about what's proven
Efficacy is demonstrated. Mechanisms are under study.
Randomised controlled trials with partner hospitals show our programmes outperform standard care and active controls. What the trials don't yet explain is the neural mechanism: why immersive, graded therapy drives the outcomes it does. That question is under active study: it is exactly what our BCI research programme, in prototype with research partners, exists to answer.
