NeurOptimal is a brain training system that uses real-time feedback to help people adjust and regulate their brain function. The system uses natural auditory perception to identify and respond to changes in brainwave patterns, especially when the brain is shifting states. This feedback encourages the brain to self-correct and optimize its functioning.
Some people may notice a shift or change after their first NeurOptimal session, while others may not notice a shift for several sessions. How in-tune someone is to their body can also affect how they notice shifts. NeurOptimal doesn't force any change, so it's important to let go of expectations and be open to surprises. After a session,

How in-tune someone is to their body can also affect how they notice shifts. NeurOptimal doesn't force any change, so it's important to let go of expectations and be open to surprises. After a session, clients may report feeling calmer, relaxed, grounded, less stressed, and more focused.

Because everyone’s central nervous system is different, it is not possible to predict exactly how your brain will respond to the information NeurOptimal® provides. But because we have over three million hours of experience with NeurOptimal® we can make some predictions. The good thing is you do not have to take it on faith and trust that it will help you — you will know pretty quickly when it is helping you. And we have progress tracking tools to help you document your training. Just as in how long it takes to learn to read, it is a process and everyone learns differently.
How many Sessions will it take to “complete” your training? This depends partly upon your goals. 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. Any training you have done in the past will always serve you well should you do more Sessions in the future — no Session is ever wasted. For some however, training their brain is like training the body. They want to function at their best throughout their lifetime, and they like to maintain that best even when life presents its inevitable day to day knocks and bruises. After a period of initial training, they continue with maybe monthly Sessions to give their brain a regular opportunity to “defrag”. Or, like many of us, they just do a Session when they feel they need it. But in the end, it is always up to you, because it is YOUR brain that is doing the training and it knows what it needs.
We also have an in-depth NeurOptimal® survey that you can explore, which shows you (among other things) how many Sessions it takes to get what percentage of improvement, for a wide variety of complaints people present with. In short, you can see statistically the amount of improvement you can expect over time, helping you to make an informed decision about number of Sessions. Your Trainer will also have their experiences to share with you as well!
Do the Shifts Last?
NeurOptimal® is a learning task, like learning to ride a bike or learning how to read: 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, by hormonal changes, pollutants in the environment and 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. So, if you did a fairly complete initial training (say 20-30 Sessions), and then have a major challenge like an illness, the loss of a job or a relationship, or even a head injury or anesthetic, your brain can quickly and efficiently use the information it receives from NeurOptimal® to reorganize itself and “find its way back”. As we like to say: “You’ve always got NeurOptimal® in your back pocket”!
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is fun, interactive, non-invasive, and medication-free. The sessions help increase self-control over certain aspects of your brain function. Because of neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to change—neurofeedback training can help retrain your brain to reduce mental health symptoms, improve performance, and achieve a more balanced brain.
Neurofeedback is painless and safe for people of all ages and provides numerous benefits for a variety of brain health and mental health concerns. For example, because of its capacity to help people retrain their brain, individuals who have behavioral issues can experience self-control over problematic symptoms, increase their confidence, and learn to understand they can adopt healthier patterns of behaving.
For those who struggle with emotional stress and anxiety, neurofeedback can help them self-regulate more effectively and respond more positively to situations that produce distressing emotions. Furthermore, it can help high achievers reach peak performance by optimizing their brain function.
In addition to these applications, there are many other conditions that can be helped by undergoing neurofeedback sessions in a professional setting. As a result, patients have reported better memory, focus, and impulse control, lower anxiety, greater mental clarity, more restful sleep, improved mood, and a host of other benefits after using neurofeedback.
Children, teens, and adults of all ages may find neurofeedback beneficial. This type of therapy helps you gain control of your brain waves through self-regulation, so you can achieve the desired brain state. This ability to achieve and maintain certain states is key to improving behavior and emotional health as well as having a more balanced brain. Neurofeedback is also used to enhance athletic or musical performance and to help with greater workplace achievement.
Neurofeedback has been used successfully to improve symptoms in many conditions including, but not limited to:
