NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback
What is NeurOptimal®?
NeurOptimal® is a Dynamical Neurofeedback® brain training system developed by Canadian clinical psychologists to help optimize the way in which the brain functions. It is designed to increase flexibility and resilience, allowing individuals to feel more equipped to navigate everyday stresses. NeurOptimal® works to mirror the electrical activity within the brain of each person but does not demand any changes of the brain. In measuring the brain’s activity 256 times per second, dynamical neurofeedback is sensing for what is referred to as electrical turbulence.
Music or audio is utilized as a means by which the shifts or moments of turbulence are indicated to the individual during a session, communicated in what sounds like static or a brief pause. Such help to guide you back to the present moment, allowing progress over time toward the brain’s ability to self-regulate.
What does a NeurOptimal® session look like?
Particularly since you will be new to trying NeurOptimal®, I like to maintain a tranquil and comfortable office setting. Prior to attaching the equipment sensors, we will discuss any goals you may have, however big or small, walking through a brief journaling activity designed to help you chart any progress or noticeable shifts. As I attach the sensors, I will be identifying two distinct points on your scalp which will best communicate the brain’s activity via the attached sensors. There is no pain or shock associated with this process whatsoever. All the sensors will be attached with the use of conductive paste.
While the session is taking place, you will hear soothing music playing and can also watch a visual representation of your brain waves on the computer screen if you’d like. However, you may choose to read instead, catch up on messages or rest your eyes. You are not required to focus or meditate on any particular activity or thought to experience the benefits of dynamical neurofeedback.

Who can benefit?
Because NeurOptimal® provides each individual’s brain with information or “feedback” on any given day, virtually anyone can benefit from engaging in training. Some of the potential benefits include but are not limited to:
Helps in maintaining overall wellness
Enhances learning capacity
Helps promote relaxation and stress management
Can increase focus and performance
Supports confidence and sense of self-esteem
Can help shift perception of stressors
How many sessions will I need?
Many people experience benefits and noticeable shifts from using NeurOptimal® in as few as 1-3 sessions. The total number of sessions within the span of your training may vary depending on the goals you are moving toward. Some individuals discontinue at 6-8 sessions while others continue training for as many as 20 or 30 different sessions. It can be helpful to schedule sessions more consistently in the beginning of your training experience.
