Atlantic International University (AIU) proudly celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments of its distinguished alumnus, Dr. Alptekin Aydin, whose groundbreaking work is transforming the global landscape of neuropsychology and autism care.
A true pioneer, Dr. Aydin completed his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at AIU—an experience he describes as a turning point in his career. AIU’s flexible, interdisciplinary, and student-focused environment allowed him to balance international clinical practice with advanced academic research. The university’s emphasis on innovation and applied learning laid the foundation for his development of QPAN®, a first-of-its-kind AI-based, qEEG-guided neuromodulation therapy model.
Dr. Aydin’s study titled, “Assessing the Impact of tDCS Treatment Over the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) on Social Communication in Children with ASD”, was published in Research in Developmental Disabilities (Elsevier), cementing his status as a global thought leader in brain health.
From his early academic days in Moda, Istanbul, to leading the Cosmos Healthcare clinics in England and Istanbul, Dr. Aydin’s journey is powered by purpose and compassion. His signature QPAN® treatment has helped over 5,000 patients worldwide, addressing autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, epilepsy, addiction, and more—achieving a reported success rate of 70–85%.
Through his clinic and global outreach, including a remote treatment model using CE-marked tDCS headsets and a community of 8,500+ families, Dr. Aydin continues to deliver on UNESCO-aligned goals for:
- Inclusive, lifelong education
- Global health and well-being
- Innovation in scientific solutions
AIU is proud to be part of this global story of impact, creativity, and compassion. Dr. Aydin is a shining example of what AIU students can achieve when driven by purpose and equipped with the tools to think beyond borders.
