Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis Of Accounting Policy [Policy Text Block]
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Basis of Consolidation
 
The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, an inactive parent company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries CNS California and NTC, which is accounted for as a discontinued operation (Refer to Note 3.Discontinued Operations Transaction). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, intangible assets, income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, accrued liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Cash
 
The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000.  At September 30, 2014 cash exceeds the federally insured limit by $990,600.  The Company believes that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to cash deposits with financial institutions.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Derivative Liabilities
 
The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument were a series of convertible notes with a “reset” and “dilutive issuance” clause within the notes relating to the conversion price from dilutive share issuance. See Notes 4 & 5. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC 825-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
  
The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10 (formerly SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”), ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) and ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”).
 
The Company adopted ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments; and
 
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
 
The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the conversion option liability in determining the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumption inputs:

For the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $153,100 and $0 derivative liabilities respectively. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a change in fair valuation thereon of $26,100 and $0 respectively.  As at September 30, 2014, the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company estimates the collectability of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by reviewing past-due invoices and assessing the current creditworthiness of each customer.  Allowances are provided for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection which as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 are $1,200 and $5,900 respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Furniture and Equipment
 
Furniture and Equipment, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.  The useful life of these assets is estimated to be between three and five years.  Depreciation for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $10,300 and $13,000 respectively.  Accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $75,000 and $64,800, respectively.
Offerings Costs Policy [Policy Text Block]
Offering Costs
 
The Company applies ASC 505-10, “Costs of an Equity Transaction,” for recognition of offering costs. In accordance with ASC 505-10, the Company treats incremental direct costs incurred to issue shares classified as equity, as a reduction of the proceeds. Direct costs incurred before shares classified as equity are issued are classified as an asset until the stock is issued. Indirect costs such as management salaries or other general and administrative expenses and deferred costs of an aborted offering are expensed.
Impairment Or Disposal Of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Long-Lived Assets
 
As required by ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. No impairment loss was recorded for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
 
The Company adopted Accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The new guidance is intended to reduce the complexity and costs of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by allowing companies to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of impairment to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test.
Trade And Other Accounts Payable [Policy Text Block]
Accounts Payable
 
Accounts payable consists of trade payables of which $501,600 are for legal services. As of September 2014 we had accounts payable write-backs of $44,000 for long held-debts which have been in dispute and there has been no collection activity for over four years.
 
Between November 11, 2013, and December 20, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,446,380 shares of its Common Stock, as full and complete settlement of trade debt totaling an aggregate of $1,466,800 owed to two creditors who are also accredited investors. The fair market value of the shares that were issued in these transactions was determined to be $0.25 per share. The excess value of $1,105,200 over the fair market value of the issued shares was booked to Other Income (Expense) as a gain on extinguishment of debt.
Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue [Policy Text Block]
Deferred Revenue
 
Deferred revenue represents revenue collected but not earned as of September 30, 2014. This represents a philanthropic grant for the payment of PEER Reports ordered for the Walter Reed clinical trial during calendar 2014, which are otherwise not paid for by Walter Reed or Fort Belvoir. These deferred revenue grant funds as of September 30, 2014, are $45,900. As of September 30, 2013 there was no deferred revenue balance.  
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenues
 
The Company recognizes revenue on services, being the delivery of PEER Reports to medical providers, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  In all cases, revenue is recognized when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, when collection is considered to be reasonable assured and the services are delivered.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Research and Development Expenses
 
The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as incurred.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Advertising Expenses
 
The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 advertising expenses were $3,100 and $14,400 respectively.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has adopted ASC 718-20 (formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment - revised 2004) and related interpretations which establish the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under ASC 718-20, share-based compensation cost to option grantee, being employees, directors and consultants, and is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award (see Note 5 for further discussion on valuations). The expense is recognized over the option grantees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.
Inducement To Convert Debt [Policy Text Block]
Inducement to Convert Debt
 
According to ASC 470-20-55, when a convertible debt instrument is converted to equity pursuant to an inducement offer, the debtor recognizes an expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The fair value of the securities or other consideration is measured as of the date the inducement offer is accepted by the convertible debt holder.
 
As an inducement to convert debt, the Company offered to all holders of $1 per share convertible notes (“$1 Notes”) an opportunity to convert that debt, and associated accrued interest, at $0.25 per share for a limited 60 day period with the proviso that 100% of the holders of the $1 Notes agreed to the conversion terms. All holders’ of $1 Notes agreed to convert and the transaction closed on August 12, 2013.
 
Fair value of debt conversion on August 12, 2013
 
Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period April 1, 2013 through to August 12, 2013, the date of the conversion of all $1 Notes, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $277,636 worth of stock was traded on 42 of 95 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.41 to $2.50. There was a contemporaneous transaction whereby shares corresponding to $827,500 of a $2.0 million private placement of common stock purchased at a price of $0.25 per share by accredited third party investors. Given the low volume of stock that was traded, compared to the volume of the private placement of common stock, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the private placement of common stock at $0.25 per share represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock upon the conversion of debt on August 12, 2013.
 
As the original conversion terms of the notes were at $1 into one share of common stock with a fair value of $0.25, consequently, the three additional shares offered on conversion at $0.25 each represent the inducement to convert.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740,  Income  Taxes, (formerly FIN 48,  Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109),  (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our "major" tax jurisdictions.  Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2008 through 2012 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2008 through 2012 California Franchise Tax Returns.  However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
 
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
ASC 220-10 (formerly, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income), requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income (loss) on an annual and interim basis.  Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its reported net income (loss) for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
The Company has adopted GAAP regarding earnings (loss) per share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings (loss) per share.
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised and converted into Common Stock.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Apart from the below-mentioned recent accounting pronouncements, there are no new accounting pronouncements that are currently applicable to the Company.
 
In August, 2014, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. 
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity. The amendments in this ASU will apply to a reporting entity that is required to consolidate a collateralized financing entity under the Variable Interest Entities guidance when: (1) the reporting entity measures all of the financial assets and the financial liabilities of that consolidated collateralized financing entity at fair value in the consolidated financial statements based on other Codification Topics; and (2) the changes in the fair values of those financial assets and financial liabilities are reflected in earnings. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. 
 
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) — Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
