Prof. Nic Lucas brings SOZO-Neuromodulation to Australia

I just happened to get the hand on a posting of Prof. Nic Lucas

Highly ambitious goals to kick off a brand new 5 year plan

I have a backstory I wont elaborate on just yet, other than to say it involves heart disease, post viral infection, significant fatigue, and family health issues.

What’s interesting is the pivot I’m making that has filled me with more excitement than I’ve had in years.

1. SOZO Australia

In association with a fomer student, who is now a teacher of mine, Petros Kattou and I are bringing SOZO Neuromodulation to Australia.

We’ve been planning this for the last year, and we are so close to TGA approval for our Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) device, used for Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS).

Approval estimated by end of May.

In the last year I’ve seen:

1. People with chronic pain, become pain free.
2. People who can’t walk due to Parkinson’s, MS, and ALS, walk.
3. People with daily migraines, report only 1-2 per month.
4. People with vestibular dysfunction, resolved.
5. People with ataxia and dystonia, regain motor control
6. And much more …

Is it placebo? Luck?

In the last month I’ve prepared brief reports of Level 1 Evidence (Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) for each of the following conditions:

1. Depression
2. Chronic Pain
3. Migraine
4. Parkinson’s Disease
5. Cognitive Decline, Dementia, Alzheimer’s
6. Post stroke recovery, pain, fatigue, sleep

Showing that tDCS is effective and produces clinically significant results.

Even so I will not overstate the evidence. Each meta-analysis ends with ‘high heterogeneity’ and ‘more research needs to be done’ …

… and yet, the randomised, placebo controlled trials report clinically and statistically significant results.

And this is in studies where:

– eveyone is treated the same
– dose and duration is LESS that what we do at SOZO
– use of the tDCS device isn’t based on neurological examination

So, the results I’ve seen are the same or better than reported in these efficacy trials.

At SOZO there are over 2,500 documented cases, all through the pioneering work of Petros

… and now we’re training doctors here in Australia to bring this to people in Australia.

We are holding our first doctor training at the end of October in Melbourne …

… and I do believe I’ll be able to open this up to Osteopathic practitioners here in Australia as well in what would be a massive pivot for those practitioners ambitious enough to learn this new approach to people with chronic, neurological and movement disorders.

2. NeuroCogniX

For aorund 15 years I’ve been coaching, consulting, advising, and mentoring founders, entrepreneurs, and career professionals on business, marketing, and operating at their best in life.

This was after 15 years involved in University level education in neuroscience and research (I got my first tutoring job in 1994).

NeuroCogniX is my new brand, bringing together every single thing I’ve learned myself, and through others …

… to help folks optimize their executive function (cognitive function, thinking etc).

This is neural network optimization, not mindset.

For my Australian clients, I will be able to recommend tDCS to help optimize brain function.

For my International clients, I’m working on how to do that, given requisite licensing and professional insurances etc for medical devices.

NeuroCogniX will be low cost training enhanced with Agentic AI Agents …

… to reach a maximum number of people …

… and give them the tools that I’ve used get through extremely tough situations …

… and succeed anyway …

… all while being …

Grounded …
Fundamentally OK …
Feeling unified and at peace …
And watching life unfold.

=> All of which are ‘states of being’ identified in research.

So, May is insane in terms of my to-do list.

Ruthless prioritization
Time blocking
Leveraging AI (Gemini Advanced and Manus are insane).

This is a post of intention at the start of the month.

Petros Kattou has studied under Nic and has developed the SOZO-Neuromodulation Techniques that Dr. Nic Lucas refers to
