About Us
The International Brain Research Foundation, Inc. (IBRF) is a 501c3 public charity that serves as a platform for support of, and collaboration with, leading neuroscientists and research institutions around the world. The objective is to create, operationalize, validate, and disseminate 
diagnostic and treatment protocols derived from innovative, novel research and translate those protocols into clinical practice for implementation with individuals afflicted with disorders, diseases, and injuries of the brain.
The IBRF has developed the Advanced Care Protocol (ACP) that utilizes targeted neuromodulation procedures to normalize the brain's electrochemical environment to improve brain function. IBRF has already been successful in awakening 43 of 52 coma patients with its remarkable ACP.
