Cereset® Health is a new offering at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Cereset is short for "cerebral reset." Cereset Health or CH for short, is an advanced, brief, non-invasive, non-drug neurotechnology that supports the brain to release and recover from the negative effects of stress; the body’s responses to threat or trauma, whether physical or non-physical (Cereset, LLC, Scottsdale, AZ). Cereset Health sessions create an opportunity for your brain to balance and quiet its electrical pattern, on its own terms. 
Sensors that continuously observe your brain activity, allow the computer to assign an auditory tone to dominant brain frequencies, in near real time. The tones are echoed back through ear buds, reflecting the brainwave activity at that moment in time. The echoed tones vary in pitch and timing, sounding a bit like a child’s first piano recital. Each session will be entirely unique to your brain. By allowing your brain to look at itself in an acoustic mirror, it is supported to harmonize, quiet, and balance itself during sessions.
CH is based on clinical research done in the Brain Body Research Program in the Department of Neurology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine since 2011. Over 900 study participants have enrolled in clinical trials, resulting in numerous peer-reviewed publications. Results have demonstrated clinically meaningful, statistically significant reductions of symptoms such as stress, anxiety, and insomnia, improved autonomic nervous system function, and improved network connectivity on fMRI brain scans.
CH is being offered to health system employees, first responders and referred patients as an alternative approach to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and insomnia, and to improve wellness, well-being and overall health.
