Frequently Asked Questions

  • No.

    Callie is a visualization and insight reflection software. It does not diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or replace clinical judgment.

  • Callie visualizes time stamped patterns in:

    • Mental effort (FTAR-based)

    • Internal vs externally oriented processing (occipital alpha–based)

    All measures are interpreted relative to the individual’s own baseline, not population norms.

  • Callie uses established signal processing and statistical analysis techniques grounded in clinical neurophysiology. We analyze EEG data using standard frequency domain techniques, including power spectral density (PSD) estimation across clinically recognized frequency bands (e.g., theta and alpha). These approaches are widely used in both research and clinical neurophysiology.

  • No.

    Callie does not interpret thoughts, memories, emotions, or trauma content. It reflects your patient’s neurophysiological patterns over time, leaving meaning-making to the clinician.

  • Callie is not a neurofeedback system.

    Neurofeedback is like a heart rate monitor during exercise.

    • Shows whether you’re in the target zone

    • Guides behavior moment to moment

    • Optimizes performance

    Our software is like a post-workout summary.

    • Reveals when fatigue set in

    • Highlights variability and recovery

    • Helps you understand how the workout unfolded

  • No.

    Callie is not an FDA cleared medical device. It is a clinical reflection and visualization tool.

  • Yes.

    There are no hidden models or locked data. All data is stored locally on your machine.
