Press Release Summary: Step Of Mind Ltd was selected to present at the Silicom
Ventures Summit on June 29th-30th in Tel Aviv

Press Release Body: Tel Aviv, Israel, June 26, 2008 -- Step of Mind Ltd (SoM) was
selected to present its concept and system for treatment of movement disorders at
the Silicom Ventures Summit on June 29th-30th in Tel Aviv, Israel. The developed
system, called SoM-ToUR, is based on the chaos theory and is a non-invasive solution
that retrains the brain to process motor commands in a chaotic manner. The system is
comprised of a specially designed shoe and proprietary software.
The Summit will take place at David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv. This event
will focus on opportunities in early stage technology investments and is timed for
Israel\'s 60th anniversary. The presentation will be made by SoM\'s scientific
director, Dr. Simona Bar-Haim. SoM will also have a booth at the exhibition.
Step of Mind Ltd (www.stepofmind.com) develops technologies based on practical
applications of Chaos Theory in medical and rehabilitation fields. The company aims
to facilitate rehabilitation of persons with movement disorders (paraplegia resulted
from stroke or brain trauma, cerebral palsy), prevent deterioration of motor skills
in the elderly, reduce muscle pain, and enhance performance in sports and leisure
activities. SoM is led by a talented team of professionals with extensive
backgrounds in neurophysiology, rehabilitation, motor dysfunctions, medical devices
and business development.
Recently, CNN aired a story about a Palestinian child with Cerebral Palsy who
participates in a multi center study using SOM\'s method and approach. In an
exclusive CNN video news item 11 year-old Abdul Karim of Nablus demonstrates an
amazing improvement using SOM\'s method and approach.
SoM further develops methodologies and systems based on the chaos theory to improve
motor capabilities of elderly fallers and athletes. \"A future market -- elderly
fallers -- presents an additional huge market opportunity, with an estimated market
size in the U.S. and EU of 28 million,\" said Jacob Witkowski, CEO of Step of Mind.
