rTMS Therapy in Plano: Personalized, EEG-Guided Treatment
At Brain Treatment Center Plano, we specialize in rTMS therapy, a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to support healthy brain activity.
Our approach, known as MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy), is a customized form of EEG-guided rTMS.
Treatment begins with advanced brain mapping to identify patterns of brain activity, followed by a stimulation protocol tailored to each patient’s unique data.
The rTMS equipment used in our program is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder and OCD. In clinical practice, it may also be used off-label for other neurological and mental health conditions.
Many patients report improvements in areas such as mood, focus, and sleep. Individual responses vary.
What Makes MeRT Different
Choosing a treatment can feel overwhelming. At Brain Treatment Center Plano, our approach—MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy)—is a personalized form of EEG-guided rTMS designed to tailor neuromodulation to each patient’s brain activity.
What Sets MeRT Apart
- Individualized Protocol: Treatment begins with EEG and EKG testing to evaluate brainwave patterns. Stimulation frequency and location are then customized based on this data. No two treatment plans are identical.
- Noninvasive Treatment: MeRT uses gentle magnetic pulses delivered through a coil placed against the scalp. There are no needles, anesthesia, or surgical procedures involved.
- No Medication Required: Treatment does not require sedation or ongoing medication changes. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after each session.
- FDA-Cleared Technology: The rTMS equipment used in our program is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder and OCD. In clinical practice, it may also be used off-label for other neurological and mental health conditions.
Why It Matters
MeRT combines the proven science of rTMS therapy with individualized brain mapping to create a treatment that’s uniquely yours. It’’s safe, effective, and designed to help your brain function at its best.

Conditions We Treat
EEG-guided rTMS (MeRT) may be used as part of care for the following conditions:
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects how individuals communicate, learn, and interact with the world. Learn more about our EEG-guided rTMS (MeRT) approach for autism.
Depression
We offer FDA-cleared rTMS therapy for Major Depressive Disorder, including treatment-resistant depression.
Head Injuries
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, can have lasting ill effects. MeRT may help with recovery.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are common and may not fully respond to traditional approaches. Learn more about our individualized rTMS treatment options.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect sleep, mood, and daily functioning after traumatic experiences. Learn more about our EEG-guided rTMS approach for PTSD.
Memory and Focus
Memory and focus challenges can affect daily performance and productivity. Discover our EEG-guided rTMS approach to cognitive concerns.
The neuromodulation technology used in our MeRT program is based on rTMS therapy, which is FDA-cleared for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
In the practice of medicine, this technology may also be used off-label for certain neurological and mental health conditions, including PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), anxiety-related disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, stroke recovery, dementia, and post-COVID symptoms.
Because EEG-guided MeRT is individualized to each patient’s brain activity, treatment protocols are designed to address overall brain communication rather than focusing on a single diagnosis.

Our Medical Director, Neurologist Dr. Miller
Dr. Spencer O. Miller, a Neurologist in Dallas, Texas, is the owner and Medical Director of Brain Treatment Center Dallas, Plano, and Fort Worth. He received his medical degree from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine and has been in practice for 12 years. He spent five of those years in the US Air Force, where he saw many brain injuries, including soldiers suffering from PTSD and TBI.
Dr. Miller now specializes in MeRT treatment of traumatic brain injury, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, dementia, autism, and multiple other brain disorders at his clinics.
Dr. Miller is also affiliated with Baylor University Medical Center, where he specializes in stroke, headache medicine, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and seizures. Additionally, he is associated with the Texas A&M Science Center College of Medicine.
He also speaks multiple languages, including Spanish.
A Specialized Focus on Autism Spectrum Care
While Brain Treatment Center Plano provides EEG-guided rTMS therapy for a range of neurological conditions, we have significant experience working with families navigating autism spectrum disorder.
Autism affects each child differently. Because no two brains function the same way, treatment should not follow a one-size-fits-all protocol. Our approach begins with advanced EEG brain mapping to evaluate patterns of brain activity. That data is used to guide a personalized rTMS plan tailored to each child’s unique neurophysiology.
Treatment is:
- Noninvasive
- Drug-free
- Delivered in a calm, supportive environment
- Designed with sensory sensitivity in mind
While results vary, some families report improvements in communication, engagement, emotional regulation, and daily functioning following treatment.
A Parent’s Perspective
One father described a moment during treatment that stood out to him. After several weeks of therapy, his previously nonverbal son unexpectedly spoke a full sentence during a family outing. For their family, it marked a meaningful milestone after years of limited verbal communication.
Over time, they observed continued developmental progress. Today, their son attends public school and communicates more consistently than before beginning treatment.
Every child’s experience is different, but stories like these reflect why many families choose to explore individualized neuromodulation as part of their child’s care plan.
Featured on The Doctors
Dr. Spencer Miller has discussed EEG-guided rTMS (MeRT) for autism on the nationally televised program The Doctors. During the segment, families shared their experiences, and Dr. Miller explained how brain mapping and personalized neuromodulation may support improved brain communication in some children on the spectrum.
The program highlighted how objective brain data can guide individualized treatment rather than relying on a standardized stimulation approach.
