Benefits and How it Works

Benefits of Neurofeedback

People train using NeurOptimal® for a variety of reasons including managing stress, to increase calmness & focus, peak performance, spiritual and personal growth. NeurOptimal® supports your brain to be in the ‘present moment’ which means your brain can truly live in the ‘Now’. Your brain is free to access the resources it needs and not cycle in the past or be overwhelmed by future thoughts.

How does it Work

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that gives information to you about your brain activity as it is occurring. This is done through sensors that pick up micro-volts on your scalp (no electricity goes into your brain!). With NeurOptimal®, feedback is provided back to you via audible and visual cues as 'scratches' in the audio which bring your brain back to the present moment. The feedback or additional information enables your brain to further optimise.

Training is Easy and Enjoyable

A NeurOptimal® session is an enjoyable experience. There is nothing you need to do other than sit in a comfortable recliner and gain the benefits of NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback training. You can even go to sleep during a session and training will be just as effective. The complexity is in the software which means that there is no need to control your thoughts or emotions - just let the training happen whilst you are listening to pleasant music. Your brain will learn to let go and be in the present, leading to greater calmness, clarity, awareness and confidence.

What happens in A session

In a quiet space and in a comfortable chair, the trainer will attach special sensors to the your head that will feed the brains electrical activity into the NeurOptimal® program’s software. As the session starts, you will hear music play though headphones and perhaps watch relaxing geometric images gently morph across a computer screen. You will hear occasional “skips” or interruptions in the music – this is the signal that prompts your brain to optimize itself.

Training Sessions

DeFrag for your Brain

Using NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is like having a “defrag” on your computer; supporting your brain to optimise by removing barriers so you can perform at your best and experience your flow. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what challenges you have, NeurOptimal® will work where you are at providing the information about itself supporting your brain to function optimally.
 

how many Sessions?

Because everyone’s brain is different, it is not possible to predict exactly how you will respond to the information NeurOptimal® provides. It also depends partly upon what your goals are. If you are training to feel better quickly, you might decide after 10-12 sessions that you have made enough gains and stop. On the other hand, if you are looking for lasting changes, 20-30 sessions is a better ballpark. The good thing is you can stop at any time and always pick it up again later if you so choose.

Mirror for the brain

How is it possible that one tool can work for widely different brains and purposes? It’s all to do with brain optimization. Remember NeurOptimal® does not treat any condition but works where your brain is at moment by moment. The benefits manifest across many areas of functioning. Given the right information the brain can naturally optimize itself. It’s like holding up a mirror to the brain so it can make its own adjustments.

Do the Shifts last?

NeurOptimal® is a learning task, like learning to ride a bike. Once you know, you can’t “not know”, so the effects do remain with you. But your brain is also living tissue, and it can get “knocked off” by challenges such as the stresses of our everyday lives. When this happens, a session or two can help you get back on point, working at your optimal efficiency. Even if you come back many years later, the brain recognizes the NeurOptimal® process and is reminded of the earlier shifts. It can find its way back relatively rapidly - much more quickly than the first time you did the training. It builds on your last lot of sessions.
