How Does NeurOptimal® Work?

The software works on the premise that the individual brain is its own expert, which has been confirmed in neuroscience with discoveries surrounding neuroplasticity and neurogenesis:  give the brain good data and it will use that information to optimize.  Why?  Because the brain is designed to continuously look for information that will create greater energy efficiency while still making effective decisions.

The neurofeedback software uses mathematical calculations that translate the brain’s main communication, electrical impulses, into brain waves frequencies.  The data is collected through EEG sensors pasted to the sides of the head and clipped to the ears.  These EEG sensors only collect information, nothing goes back to the brain through the wires. The neurofeedback software collects 256 data points per second and at the exact millisecond that the brain’s electrical patterns change, feedback is given.

The feedback is given through micro-interruptions in music that plays during the brain training session.  The brain’s natural way to keep track of changes in the environment is through listening.  This is not the listening we do when we’re concentrating on sound, it’s the passive listening that’s always happening. For example, the listening that wakes us up when a child whispers “Mom” when we’re sound asleep.

The alerting process that happens throughout the training session is a precisely timed back-and-forth dynamic process that happens between the brain and the software.  When alerted, the brain can pay attention to what is habitual in itself.  The brain is an information processing center designed to optimize its use of energy and make the best decisions. The key to optimizing its functioning is having good, real-time information.

What does optimization look and feel like?  Because the brain is involved in a lot of different areas of functioning (sleep, cognitive skills, memory, mood, our reactions to stressors, language, and the list goes on….), we can create shifts in a number of areas when we train our brains.

Clients often focus on just one or two goals but because NeurOptimal® is designed to target overall functioning, you can see changes even in areas where you weren’t expecting them.
