Clark, Ph.D., Managing Director (Bio in Appendix B) Co-Investigator: Stephen “Kit” Taylor, D.C., D.A.B.C.N. (Bio in Appendix C) Abstract: Brain mapping measurements were performed on one relatively healthy older female participant before and after a 40-minute Cognomovement session performed by the Sponsor. Sponsor provided equipment needed to performed the Cognomovement session. The brain mapping equipment used for this project was the P300 QEEG Brain Mapping System, a non-invasive commercially available device that is FDA cleared for use in routine clinical and research settings. We concluded that there is definitely a marked overall improvement in the pre and post testing. Neurologically, there are several indicative findings that help in giving guidance to further therapeutic procedures. We are very impressed with Cognomovement therapeutics. As joint motion is the majority of neuro-receptive potentiation, to see its effects so clearly in the supra-cranial regions speaks volumes. The Absolute Power and the Theta hyperactivity results, in conjunction with the coherence network graphs, P300 Eyes Closed and Eyes Open, we conclude that the neuroactivity is evoking subconscious responses that were greatly decreased after the Cognomovement session. Goal: This is a pilot project using brain mapping to assess any differences in brain function after a Cognomovement session. Statement of Work: Brain mapping measurements were performed on one relatively healthy older female participant before and after a 40-minute Cognomovement session preformed by the Sponsor. Equipment: Sponsor provided equipment needed to performed the Cognomovement session. The brain mapping equipment used for this project was the P300 QEEG Brain Mapping System (https://psy-tek.com/testing/brain-mapping-qeeg/), a non-invasive commercially available device that is FDA cleared for use in routine clinical and research settings. Participants Selection: The participant was selected by the Sponsor.

Once at Psy-Tek Labs, the participant had the opportunity to ask questions and when all questions were answered the participant signed the consent form. Next, the technician ran the following brain scan tests: • P300 Eyes Closed Auditory ERP (provides measures of cognitive response) • Eyes Opened Focused Test (EEG measurement of brain wave patterns) • Flanker Test (Eriksen flanker test provides a measure of cognitive control) • 2 Trail Making Tests (provides a measure of visual control and task switching) (The rest of this page is left intentionally blank)

She indicated she had some minor seizures in the past. Screening Scores The table below show results for Performance Assessments, Evoked Potentials and State: BEFORE AFTER Performance Assessments: Physical Reaction Time: Decreased. It is a measure of speed in response to an audible odd tone. This relies on different pathways than the Auditory P300, so physical reaction time may be different than the brain speed. The present result indicates a better coordination between the brain, the auditory cortex and the motor cortex.

Both times decreased. Improvement in coordination between the psychomotor cortex and visual scanning Evoked Potentials: Audio P300 is a measure of brain response speed and attentional resources. P300 slowing and/or a reduction in voltage signal changes in cognitive function. Audio P300 Delay: No data after. Audio P300 Voltage: Decreased substantially. This is a clear indication that of a change in cognitive function All four parameters above indicate an improvement in brain coordination and that the brain improve its cognitive functions. State: CZ Eyes Closed Theta/Beta (Power): Decreased. Theta and Beta frequency bands are affected by cortical arousal and can give insight into how the brain functions. In some people high Theta/Beta ratios at CZ may present as inattention, while others may benefit from cortical arousal. Researchers have shown that calculating the relative power ratio Theta/Beta at CZ can be used to determine slow-wave disorders, ADHD, interpersonal detachment with qualitative aspects of autistic or Asperger's behavior. This ratio was above the normal range before the session and decreased to the lowest value in the normal range after the session. The initial value above the normal range indicates mental agitation that can lead to lower attention levels. The low normal range value indicates substantial decrease in mental agitation and, coupled with the previous results, confirm a better functioning and coordination of the brain after the session. F3/F4 Eyes Closed Alpha (Magnitude): Increased. Large differences in Alpha power between the left-front and right-front of the brain have been associated with depression and/or anxiety. Researchers also discovered that calculating F3/F4 relative power ratio in the Alpha band means processing information in a positive way for an increase while a decrease in the ratio indicated a more negative processing mode. The value before the session was below the normal range and increased to be slightly above the range after the session. This is an indication of higher arousal of cognitive functions (in a positive way) related to the frontal cortex (including analyzation and decision making)

Absolute Power is the brainpower available within a particular frequency band at each electrode site, in other words, the strength of the frequency band (in microvolts squared) at each site. It is expressed as a comparison with standardized values obtained from the average of a population including thousands of people with the same age and sex as the subject (the Z value). The Z value (or Z score; see the color key on the upper right of the

Non-Invasive Scanning and Subtle Energy Testing Lab © 2021 Psy-Tek Labs | 741 Garden View Court | Suite 206 | Encinitas, CA 92024 | 760.733.6000 Initials: _____ P. 6 figure above) is expressed as the difference between the mean score of a population and the patient’s individual score divided by the standard deviation of the population. It indicates how “deviant” a subject’s score is from the norm. It tells us whether there is deficient or excessive activity in a given frequency band for a given electrode site (or group of electrode sites), such as excessive Theta activity at T3 and T5 (colored red in the Before diagrams under Theta). One standard deviation (SD) above the norm is yellow, two SD above the norm is orange, and three SD is red. ‘0’ is the normal mean located within the green region (light green). One SD below the norm is light blue, two SD below is darker blue, and three SD is darkest blue. It is very rare to see a Z score greater than +3 or less than -3 as 99.8% of the population Z scores are within this range. Thus, the software uses +3 as the maximum excessive value (red color in the color key) and -3 as the minimum deficiency (darkest blue color in the color key). For our participant, the Power in most of the sites are hyper-activated in the Theta band before the session and came down significantly after the session. Theta being associated with subconscious function; something might have been “brewing” in the subconscious mind of this participant before the session which disappeared after the session.

EEG coherence can be defined as the normalized cross-power spectrum per frequency of two signals recorded simultaneously at different sites of the scalp. It is a measure of the synchronization between the two signals and may be interpreted as an expression of their functional interaction. Coherence reflects how stable the phase relationship is between two electrode sites. Coherence quantifies the degree of interaction or communication, shared information, between brain sites. Hypercoherence is when brain sites are not functioning in efficient interdependent fashion, they have too much “cross-talk”, they are overly connected or locked together. Hypocoherence is called poor inter-site interaction and is associated with diminished cognitive efficiency. The red lines between two sites

Beta brain waves are normally dominant in a person awake, alert, with normal level of consciousness and brain function. Alpha become dominant in a person with eyes closed, calm, aware and quietly alert. Theta brain waves show up in deep relaxation, meditation and mental imagery. The participant was awake with eyes closed during these measurements and so the most relevant results are those presented in the Alpha (relaxation) and Theta bands. Discussion There is definitely a marked overall improvement in the pre and post testing. Neurologically, there are several indicative findings that help in giving guidance to further therapeutic procedures. We are very impressed with Cognomovement therapeutics. As joint motion is the majority of neuro-receptive potentiation, to see its effects so clearly in the supra-cranial regions speaks volumes. The Absolute Power and the Theta hyperactivity results, in conjunction with the coherence network graphs, P300 Eyes Closed and Eyes Open, we conclude that the neuroactivity is evoking subconscious responses and further in knowing the neurological pathways, we suspect that temporal mandibular (TMJ) challenges. These could be obvious or small and undetectable to the untrained examiner. It is the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, cranial nerve number 5, which also has branches to the maxilla and mandible. We suspect that the participant was not only exhibiting mental/emotional disturbances but physical discomfort as well. For further confirmation we suggest to include bi-lateral blood pressure measurements (taken on both arms), a simple sensory stimulus response (pinwheel or even a stimulated eye blink, side to side as these and balance should all show a degree of improvement Conclusion In conclusion, there is definitely a marked overall improvement in the pre and post testing.
