What is NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback®?
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is a sophisticated Brain Training tool designed to help optimize your life that was developed by Clinical Psychologists, Dr.’s Valdeane & Susan Brown. It has evolved over the last 30 years from two individuals offering Training Sessions in their private office to literally 4+ million sessions logged and thousands of people using it on a regular basis.

​

The NeurOptimal® system measures the differences in the electrical signal emitted from the scalp. This electrical signal is mathematically measured 256 times per second, by voltage changes and is read through the NeurOptimal® software program which initiates an interruption in the audio stream as it detects when a change is about to happen. This small minute interruption is enough to warrant the individual to notice.

​

You can think of NeurOptimal® training as holding up a mirror to your brain. Imagine you had not seen yourself in a mirror in a long time. Once you see your reflection you naturally start adjusting yourself, maybe standing a little taller, straightening up your hair and so on. The mirror provides the information you need to correct and adjust yourself. And so it is with the brain.

​

The brain has an inherent ability to self-correct when given the right information and NeurOptimal® is designed to provide the brain with the information it needs to make its own adjustments. Turbulence, 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 over and over until the natural self-correction becomes your new normal and your brain functions more efficiently, effectively and comfortably. When this happens, you sleep better, are less stressed, can focus more easily and feel the joy of an easier life, despite the challenges you may face from the outside.

This approach to training is unique to NeurOptimal®. Training with NeurOptimal® allows your brain — and you — to become more flexible, more resilient. And a Better Brain means a Better Life.  Training with NeurOptimal® allows an individual to observe their brain activity and optimize their mindset.
