Daniel Amen, MD, Psychiatrist, Renowned Best-selling Author & Brain Imaging Specialist:
“I have appreciated Jon Niednagel’s work with Brain Typing for many years. He is a very gifted man and his work is desperately needed in many parts of our society, from families, businesses, churches, and sports. Brain typing is a critical component in understanding individual differences and Jon is the master teacher.”

Divyen H. Patel, Ph.D, CEO & Founder of Genome Explorations, Inc.
“We performed a pilot study with the Brain Type Institute which included blood samples from 74 individuals, analyzing the data for correlations to the sixteen different Brain Type categories or their various constituent characteristics (e.g., motor or cognitive skills), and identified an expression profile that distinguishes these individuals according to their pre-assigned classifications with greater than 98% sensitivity. Many of these genes are expressed in the brain as well as in the blood and participate in biochemical pathways that regulate nerve cell connections and neuronal activity. While still early, to me these gene expression results provide compelling evidence of a sound scientific basis to brain type categorization.”
