NEUROFEEDBACK SESSIONS
WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK
NeurOptimal is an advanced neuro-technology that offers training to the brain, enabling it to function at its best. It is mathematically designed to communicate directly with your central nervous system.
It was developed by Clinical Psychologist Drs. Valdeane and Susan Brown. It utilizes an original Dynamical Neurofeedback algorithm developed by the Drs. Brown, which is exclusive to Neuroptimal. This innovative form of neurofeedback is not a medical treatment it is instead training for the brain. It does not require a diagnosis or protocol, but rather it dances microsecond by microsecond with your brain offering it the information it needs to reorganize itself.
Inconsistency, or abrupt changes in electrical activity in the brain, undermines optimal functioning of the brain. NeurOptimal® detects these abrupt changes and informs the brain of these sudden shifts through interruptions in the sound you are listening to. These almost imperceptible pauses invite your central nervous system to pull away from this less-than-ideal path it was on. This happens 260 times per second until the natural self-correction becomes your new normal and your brain functions more efficiently, effectively and comfortably. When your brain does, a whole lot of complaints drop away. You feel calmer, clearer, happier and you become more resilient and flexible in your day to day.
WHY SHOULD I USE NEUROFEEDBACK
1. Emotional and Cognitive Challenges:
Adults, as well as children, have used neurofeedback to address the negative effects arising from stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, autism, sleep disorders, and other complaints.
2. Peak Mental and Physical Performance:
A growing number of Olympic and professional athletes now use neurofeedback to provide that critical mental edge which often results in gold medals and championships. When competitors are separated by 100ths of a second, the improved mental focus and physical performance neurofeedback provides can mean the difference between winning and losing. But you don’t have to be a pro athlete to enjoy the benefits of neurofeedback. Looking to improve your golf game? Want to be a better pitcher for your company softball team?
3. Enhanced Academic Performance:
Because neurofeedback training enhances concentration and focus, students use brain training as a critical tool to improve their performance in school. Teachers and parents often notice positive changes in behavior and performance. Unlike so-called “smart drugs” or neuro-enhancing pharmaceuticals, NeurOptimal® is 100% drug-free and has no known side effects.
4. General Wellness:
Neurofeedback encourages an overall positive mental outlook and a deeper understanding of the mind/body connection. For those looking to enhance their daily health and wellness, neurofeedback training can be an excellent supplement to a healthy diet and exercise routine.
5. Brain Fitness:
Along with healthy lifestyle choices, NeurOptimal® neurofeedback can be a powerful tool to mediate cognitive decline that naturally occurs as we age. Just as physical exercise benefits the body, NeurOptimal® keeps the brain fit and resilient. Neurofeedback can help improve memory, recall and increase overall cognitive dexterity in older individuals.
