Founded, owned, and run by a clinician.

ClearBrain is made by BLS Performance, LLC, founded by Ben Schwinke — who also runs Maryland Integrative Counseling Associates (MICA) and has spent over fifteen years doing clinical neurofeedback with real people, in an active mental health practice.

Clients kept asking for better products to practice their in-office training at home. Unfortunately, the off-the-shelf wearables were a disappointment. They worked like whoever designed or built them had never sat with someone through a session — or the software was bad enough that clients simply would not use it.

Hardware good enough to train cleanly at the site a protocol calls for rather than only at the forehead, with software easy enough for a first session and still carrying the controls professionals actually want, is finally both achievable and affordable at home. That is what ClearBrain is.

The company is deliberately separate from the counseling practice. ClearBrain is a wellness product sold to whoever wants it; MICA is a clinical practice whose clients and records stay there. Keeping those apart is the reason the company exists as its own entity.
