Our mission
Alongside Atlantis vzw, our mother institute, Mozart Brain Lab is the largest center worldwide for auditory brain stimulation.
Our goal is to offer this special listening training to the greatest possible number of adults, children and families, and to help everyone overcome their own limits. Honoring the wishes of the late Professor Tomatis, MBL offers a therapy of the highest quality, accurate and complete training for therapists, access to its international network, and high-end specialized equipment.
