rTMS for Cognitive Performance: Brain Optimisation at the Neural Level · London
Cognitive performance is neurological. The circuits driving it can be optimised.
precision rTMS for optimised cognitive performance in london
Cognitive Performance & Executive Function: Precision rTMS for Focus and Clarity
At the highest level, the limiting factor is rarely discipline or drive. It is the regulatory capacity of the neural systems that sustain clarity, judgement and precision under sustained load.
At Naya Health, we use precision rTMS to strengthen the executive control networks of the brain: the circuits governing focus, working memory, executive function and cognitive endurance. Gentle, targeted, and guided by objective measurement throughout.
Non-invasive, drug-free, and guided by objective measurement throughout.
The Optimise Protocol: Cognitive Performance Enhancement · London
Designed for executives, founders, athletes, traders or those who are already operating well and want to operate with greater precision.
Each session delivers gentle, targeted magnetic pulses in three minutes of active stimulation. Multiple sessions are possible in a single day for those on an accelerated programme. Measurable change can be observed from as little as five sessions.
NayaScore™ maps your cognitive performance across working memory, executive function, attentional control, processing speed and verbal reasoning before your protocol begins. Each domain is benchmarked against a normative dataset for your age and profile. Your protocol is then custom-designed to those results and refined throughout: doctor-led and informed by your NayaScore™ cognitive baseline throughout.

NayaScore™: Objective Measurement of Cognitive Performance
Everything you think, decide and create has a neural basis. NayaScore™ makes that basis measurable, trackable and improvable.
Drawing on validated cognitive assessment across twelve domains, NayaScore™ builds a precise baseline that reflects your brain’s current executive and regulatory capacity. Updated throughout your protocol, it gives you and your clinical lead a clear, longitudinal view of how your cognitive performance is strengthening and rewiring.
BRAIN OPTIMISATION: WHERE THE BRAIN SHIFTS · LONDON
Cognitive performance has a neural basis. And neural systems can be refined.
For every other system in the body, we built a measure: cholesterol for metabolic risk, VO2 max for cardiovascular performance, HRV for autonomic recovery. NayaScore™ is the measure built for the brain.
A meta-analysis of 1,507 participants confirmed that high-frequency rTMS showed a statistically significant improvement in accuracy and reaction times in healthy adults, with the most pronounced improvements in executive function when targeting the DLPFC.
Clients report and NayaScore™ confirms measurable improvements in focus, working memory, decision-making under pressure and cognitive stamina. The brain rewires toward greater efficiency, precision and endurance.
NayaScore™: what objective measurement makes possible
A clear picture of what is shifting
NayaScore™ tracks each cognitive domain across your programme, giving you and your clinical lead a precise, longitudinal view of how the brain is rewiring and strengthening over time.
A shared record
Your NayaScore™ data can be shared with your wider team or advisors, creating a clear and grounded view of your neurological baseline and how it develops.
A foundation that builds
NayaScore™ tracks your cognitive baseline across months and years, so that subtle changes are noticed early and responded to with care and precision.
The Evidence
Precision neuromodulation for cognitive performance is grounded in a well-established and growing body of evidence. A landmark meta-analysis by Xu et al. (2024), drawing on 53 studies and over 1,500 participants, confirmed that high-frequency rTMS produces significant improvements in accuracy, reaction times and executive function in healthy adults.

rTMS for executive function: Safe, Gentle, and Well Tolerated
Precision care that is gentle on the nervous system
rTMS is extremely safe and one of the most well-tolerated approaches to chronic pain treatment available. For those who have carried the side effect burden of long-term pain medication, this is one of the most significant aspects of what precision neuromodulation offers.
Where side effects occur, they are mild and transient. The most commonly reported are a mild headache on the night of treatment, or some fatigue, which can easily be addressed by reducing the frequency of sessions.
Beyond these, the only clinically significant risk associated with rTMS is seizure, occurring in fewer than 0.0016% of treatments. It has never occurred at Naya Health. Thorough pre-treatment screening ensures any potential susceptibility is identified and addressed before treatment begins.
FAQ
How does rTMS improve cognitive performance?
rTMS uses gentle, targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region governing working memory, executive function, attention and decision-making under pressure. Repeated stimulation encourages neuroplastic adaptation, strengthening connectivity across the executive control networks and improving how efficiently the brain processes, holds and acts on information.
What does the evidence show for rTMS and cognitive performance?
The evidence base for rTMS in cognitive enhancement is well established and growing. A landmark meta-analysis by Xu et al. (2023), drawing on 53 studies and over 1,500 participants, confirmed that high-frequency rTMS produces significant improvements in accuracy, reaction times and executive function in healthy adults, with the most pronounced effects when targeting the DLPFC.
How soon will I notice improvements?
Response varies by individual, but many clients notice changes in focus, mental clarity and cognitive stamina within as little as five sessions. Some improvements continue to develop after your treatment as neuroplastic change consolidates. Your NayaScore™ baseline is measured at the outset and tracked throughout, giving you an objective picture of what is shifting across each session.
Is rTMS safe?
rTMS is extremely safe and well tolerated. It is non-invasive, requires no anaesthesia, and has no systemic side effects. Where side effects occur, they are mild and transient, most commonly a mild headache or some fatigue on the night of treatment. The only clinically significant risk is seizure, occurring in fewer than 0.0016% of treatments. It has never occurred at Naya Health.
How many sessions will I need?
The optimise protocol is designed around efficiency. Each session delivers gentle, targeted magnetic pulses in three minutes of active stimulation, and clinically meaningful improvements can be observed from as little as five sessions. With multiple sessions possible in a single day, the full protocol can be completed quickly and around your schedule.
Who is the optimise protocol for?
The optimise protocol is designed for executives, founders, traders and other high performers who depend on sharp, sustained cognitive function. It is also suited to anyone held back by brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or a sense that their thinking is not as clear as it should be under high demand.The protocol targets focus, working memory, executive function and cognitive endurance: the neural foundations of clear thinking under sustained load.
