COSTA MESA, CA--(Marketwire - September 02, 2009) - CNS Response, Inc. (OTCBB: CNSO) provides a Shareholder Memo from CNS Board Members David B. Jones, Henry T. Harbin, M.D., and Jerome Vaccaro, M.D.
“We would like to set the record straight with respect to the issues facing CNS Response and the dispute with Len Brandt, former CEO of the Company.
David Jones joined the board in connection with the investment by SAIL Venture Partners, L.P. of over $2 million. Doctors Vaccaro and Harbin were recruited to the Board by Len Brandt.
The Board concluded for a number of reasons over an extended period of time that Mr. Brandt was not an effective CEO. This was communicated to him on more than one occasion.
The Board, other than Len Brandt, voted unanimously to dismiss him as CEO.
George Carpenter was elected CEO because of his prior successful management track record, his ability to secure much-needed financing, and his demonstrated leadership capability.
In our opinion, Mr. Carpenter has made more progress in advancing the goals of the Company in the last five months than Mr. Brandt did in the previous two years.
Since his dismissal, Mr. Brandt has made statements and threatened to act in ways we believe would seriously harm the Company and its shareholders.
David B. Jones Henry T. Harbin, M.D. Jerome Vaccaro, M.D.”

About CNS Response
Today, most physicians are able to base treatment on objective test data, such as EKGs, MRIs, blood tests, etc. Broadly speaking, such advances have not yet come to those physicians practicing psychiatry.
CNS Response has developed a patented data-analysis capability that, with the help of a simple, non-invasive EEG, will analyze a patient’s brain waves and compare the results to an extensive patient outcomes database. The process produces a rEEG® report providing a psychiatrist with guidance to personalize medication regimens for a patient, based on the patient’s own brain physiology.
