Health tech company Exsurgo  has created a helmet-like device, which shows patients their brainwaves on a tablet.
The trial involves 116-patients in Auckland, and is being conducted by researchers at AUT and Waitemata DHB.
Chief Executive Richard Little says  this has been a long time in the making.
He says it would be foolish to enter into a clinical trial, without proper research.
If successful, the device could be rolled out to hospitals and medical clinics across the globe by mid-next year.
