We put together a unique and comprehensive assessment, which includes thorough examination of your nervous system functionality, reflexes, and motor and sensory systems. We will also assess your psycho-physiological state (autonomic nervous system functionality) with regards to your stress response reactivity, physiological and neurological asymmetries or imbalances. We will learn about your overall cognitive functioning, screen for nutritional deficiencies, and evaluate your metabolic state.

Descriptions of each component of the b3 Neuro-Functional Assessment:
Quantitative EEG (qEEG) is a brain mapping, which simultaneously record brainwaves from 19 locations on your scalp, and produces 2D maps and 3D images of your brain and its activity. We will calculate coherency, connectivity and asymmetry of activation. Brain mapping / qEEG testing is non-invasive, involving no radiation exposure to the client, and usually takes around 45 minutes.
VNG testing is considered to be the new standard in assessing the vestibular (balance) system. It will:
This will assess Autonomic Nervous System balance and stability. It will measure and analyze the following components under a baseline, three stressors, and recovery phases.
I was initially reluctant to try biofeedback. After trying a few rounds of traditional therapy with very little improvement I was referred to NIb3. My situation was somewhat experimental and uncharted water for myself. I was impressed by the amount of time was invested learning about my condition and developing a targeted training plan. The team concern and eagerness to find a solution were genuine and obvious.
A systematic review of the integrity of your nervous system will be done. The examination will include an evaluation of the sensory system, motor system, reflexes, the 12 cranial nerves, and the peripheral nerves that run throughout the body.
Subtle abnormalities of nervous system functionality can guide us towards appropriate interventions.
We record EEG activity from 19 locations on the scalp, according to the standard EEG international 10-20 system. An analysis of amplitude, ratios, coherency, asymmetry, and connectivity is conducted. Linked-ears montage, 5-min recordings are made with eyes open and eyes closed. EEG recording is non-invasive and does not involve any radiation.
VNG testing is considered to be the gold standard in assessing the vestibular (balance) system. Goggles with a built-in infra-red, high frame-rate camera, will record your eye movements while completing a series of eye-movement tests.
• Research-grade recordings are made to quantify eye movements.
• Tests of inner-ear and central motor functions are conducted
• Assessment of brain integration state and brain-stem functionality
• Head-Eye Coordination will be evaluated
We conduct an in-depth examination of timing and rhythm. You will complete a series of exercises using your hands and feet according to an auditory and visual cue.
Exercises will be done on both the right and left side of the body to determine if any asymmetry of activation is present with the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The software will calculate your timing via milliseconds accuracy. This test
provides objective measurements related to sensory-motor integration and motor coordination. We additionally evaluate your reaction time via quadrants of the visual field while you attend to targets on a touch screen. Lastly a recording of your balance and body sway will be done in the same time.
A thorough evaluation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) functionality will be executed. This will help us to quantify your physiological stress response. Recordings of your physiology will be obtained under baseline, under cognitive tasks, and under an emotional task. The following measures are assessed:
• Temperature (peripheral)
• Skin conductance (sweat rate)
• Blood volume pulse (heart rate)
• Respiration pattern and rate
• Oxygenation Rate (SpO2 %)
• Surface EMG of the upper Trapezius muscles
Additionally, we evaluate your Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is a suggested biomarker of autonomic nervous system regulation, cardiovascular health, and neurological system integration. We analyze cardio-respiratory coherency and quantify the HRV
An in-depth interview to obtain information about your medical,
psychological, and social history. We will also review any current medications/supplements and request the results of any recent imaging procedures and/or blood tests.
A sophisticated, non-medical EEG assessment, where brainwaves are recorded from five major locations on the scalp and will be correlated to your specific symptoms.

Dina is a dedicated Kinesiologist at the b3 Neurological Institute, applying a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to neurological rehabilitation. With a specialized academic background in Kinesiology, she brings a strong foundation in human movement science and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their functional abilities and overall quality of life.
Her clinical practice integrates a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including neurofeedback, biofeedback, vestibular rehabilitation strategies, and somatosensory integration techniques. This multifaceted approach allows her to tailor care plans that address the unique needs of each individual, supporting recovery in a way that is both effective and empowering.
Dina’s path into healthcare was shaped by personal experience. An active childhood and early exposure to sports-related injuries led to a firsthand understanding of physical pain and recovery. Over time, this evolved into a strong interest in alternative and movement-based rehabilitation strategies, especially those that connect physical with neurological function. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for exploring how the brain and body work together in the healing process.
Today, Dina’s work is guided by empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the individuals she serves. She is continually inspired by the resilience of her clients and is especially passionate about helping them reconnect with their bodies through movement. Her goal is to support meaningful, lasting improvements in both physical function and overall well-being.
I am a Registered Nurse (RN) at b3 Neurological Institute and I started working here in September of 2017. Working at b3 has completely re-shaped and changed the way I view health, wellness, and the medical field. Every day that I come to the clinic, I get to witness something incredible—the brain’s ability to change, adapt, and recover—and it never stops inspiring me.
My passion for neuroscience comes from a deep curiosity about how the brain and nervous system works, but more importantly, from seeing how life-changing this work can be for real people. At our clinic, we offer advanced therapies like neurofeedback, biofeedback, vestibular rehabilitation, sensory-motor integration training, and much more. I am part of both providing direct care to clients, as well as training and managing our clinical team members.
To be a part of an organization that is changing the future of neurological health, is not something I take for granted. This clinic truly is a special place and I am proud to show up to work here every day. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing, I’d be grateful to be a part of your journey.
