About NeurOptimal®
NeurOptimal® monitors your brainwaves and gives subtle cues to the brain when it isn’t functioning smoothly. When the brain is performing fluidly NeurOptimal® plays music or a movie and when the brain’s activity begins to become inconsistent or less smooth the music and image is interrupted momentarily.
NeurOptimal® neurofeedback systems speak the language of the brain, to the brain. The brain uses visual and auditory information offered by NeurOptimal® to re-organize itself and release old patterns of "stuckness". While clients use NeurOptimal® for many reasons, they typically describe their concerns and fears dropping away, feeling more clear and present in their daily lives, experiencing a greater ability for focus and awareness and an increased sense of lightness and joy. A resilient brain returns to its baseline quickly and doesn’t sabotage itself by remaining stuck on repetitive self-critical thoughts or negativity. Individuals with resilient brains report being happier people with more joy, peace and flow in their lives ( www.zengar.com)
NeurOptimal® does not push the brain- it simply offers information. The brain does the rest, naturally, automatically adjusts with where you are at, with a focus on training your central nervous system to work more efficiently and effectively.
How does neurofeedback Neuroptimal training work?
In neurofeedback, a person sits comfortably in a chair. Sensors are connected to the scalp with water-soluble paste. They "read" the electrical output of the brain through EEG technology, Brain wave activity is transmitted to a computer-based neurofeeback program. The sitting person listens to music or watches a movie, which links to the output of EEG. The music or movie interrupts when the brain wave activity becomes less stable or more turbulent.
Through the interruption of the music or the movie, the brain begins to recognize its own pattern of instability. The brain learns to adapt to and store this information about efficient self-regulation. Over time, the CNS learns to settle down and operate with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

NeurOptimal acts like a brain mirror - Once the brain realizes it is watching itself work, as though looking in a mirror, it immediately begins to reorganize itself to attain a higher level of integration and stability.
Demonstration and Explanation of NeurOptimal in Action
Alan Bachers is an expert in neurofeedback training, which he comfortingly describes as helping the brain learn how to calibrate itself. In the video below, he does a fascinating live demonstration of the NeurOptimal system on an audience member, with on-screen visualizations of the volunteer’s brain activity.
