Neuroptimal® uses an advanced algorithm to monitor and optimize brain function through dynamic neurofeedback.

Yes, neurofeedback training is completely non-intrusive and safe and has been used clinically for over 30 years. Neurofeedback training uses your brain’s own resources – nothing is imposed, and there is no artificial stimulation. Neurofeedback relies on your Central Nervous System’s (CNS) inherent intelligence to make changes where it feels it needs to.
It is not directing your brain in any way, just providing it with more real-time information, similar to when we look in a mirror and assess ourselves visually. We do not always have a mirror with us, but we may make changes based on what we see when we use a mirror. We make adjustments based on what we learn about ourselves by looking in a mirror. Neurofeedback acts like a mirror for the brain, and your CNS makes changes based on what it has learned from this new information.

Health Canada has determined that NeurOptimal® is a Consumer Product, and the FDA has determined NeurOptimal® to be a General Wellness Device.

Why Haven’t I Heard Of Neurofeedback Brain Training Before?
The scientific understanding of the way the brain works has been changing rapidly. Just a few decades ago, electrical patterns in the brain were believed to be unimportant and unchangeable. Neurofeedback was originally dismissed as ‘scientifically impossible’.

We now know that long-held beliefs about the brain were completely incorrect. Neuroscience has advanced quickly, and the medical community can be slow to integrate new approaches based on rapidly evolving information. Change is coming from a fundamental shift in philosophy and approach and through consumer demand for noninvasive, holistic, drug-free solutions.

Slowly but steadily, more individuals are taking advantage of this simple, safe, and noninvasive option. Neurofeedback is direct training for the brain that enhances its ability to regulate, improving its resilience and flexibility. Resilience is an important aspect of brain performance as it enhances the brain's ability to bounce back from the ups and downs of life. Improved flexibility increases the brain’s capacity to "not get stuck" but deal with changes and think about problems in new and creative ways.

A typical session includes:

• Comfortable sitting position
• Placing two sensors on the head and three ear clips
• Safe and painless sensors that DO NOT they send an electrical current – ​​they record brain activity
• Headphones to listen to music during the session

The session lasts 33 minutes and all you have to do is listen to the music. Neuroptimal® records and provides feedback on your brain activity in real-time, helping it to self-regulate. Most people find the sessions extremely enjoyable and relaxing.

The Personal System is user-friendly and requires no specialized knowledge. The Professional System includes training for practitioners.
