The Neethling Brain Instruments

(NBI®)

The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®) are a suite of neuroscience-based assessments that provide insights into thinking preferences of an individual. They are based on scientific study by Dr. Kobus Neethling based on the profiling of more than 200,000 adults and children from a number of countries, after almost 30 years of extensive international research on left and right-brain functions. Ongoing research at a number of universities and institutes remains an essential part of whole brain science at present. The tools are used worldwide by large and small organizations.
