25 October 2023 - 11:30PM
Nexalin Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nexalin”) (Nasdaq: NXL;

Government Advisory Board ( “Advisory Board”) to support its
non-invasive, frequency-based, deep-brain stimulation devices

government affairs veteran, the Advisory Board will work closely
with the Company in formulating the strategic direction and

enhancing relationships within and throughout federal government
and public sector organizations including the U.S. Department of
Defense (“DoD”), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services..

advisory solutions to clients, specializing in national security,
law enforcement, intelligence, and biotechnology. Mr. Lasseter has

Corporation. He also served as former Congressman Blake
Farenthold’s (TX-27) chief of staff managing three offices and all
policy, financial, and administrative issues. In addition, Mr.
Lasseter served as former Congressman Jeff Miller’s (FL-1) military
legislative assistant and counsel. Before working in Congress, Mr.
Lasseter served on active duty with the Marine Corps Office of

Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps. He began his active duty Marine
Corps career in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina with the 2nd Marine

undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and a Juris
Doctor from the University of Alabama School of Law. He has also
attended various DoD schools and currently serves in the Marine
Corps Reserve.
Mark White, CEO of Nexalin Technology stated,
“The establishment of our Military & Government Advisory Board
is quite timely as we advance the rollout of our technology within
the government sector. In fact, the federal budget for mental
health services continues to grow, as illustrated by the
President’s 2024 federal budget request, which included
approximately $16.6 billion in mental health services for veterans
alone, an increase from $15 billion in the previous year. Towards
this end, I am honored to welcome David to lead our new Advisory
Board, given his impressive track record, as well as the breadth
and depth of his relationships within the DOD, Department of
Veterans Affairs, Department of Health & Human Services, and
other public agencies, which should be invaluable as we seek to
engage partnerships with various government agencies. We look
forward to leveraging his skill set in order to bring our new and
drug-free therapy to active military personnel and veterans with
PTSD, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and
other targeted indications. We believe that our neurostimulation
devices have the potential to become a standard of care for
treating mental health issues as they allow deeper penetration into
the brain and provide enhanced patient response without adverse
side effects.”
David Lasseter noted, “PTSD and other forms of
mental illness have long been a major issue among our veterans and
active military, not to mention the short and long-term effects of
traumatic brain injury. We owe it to our nation’s heroes to
provide them with the best treatments available to restore their
well-being and dignity. After evaluating the extensive
clinical data behind Nexalin’s drug-free and non-invasive deep
brain stimulation devices, I truly believe this technology holds
enormous promise. I look forward to working closely with
Nexalin to advance the technology within the military and other
agencies across the government sector to bring hope to countless
numbers of individuals and their families impacted by these often
debilitating conditions.”
