Given the right information, the brain can transform itself effortlessly
Neurofeedback (NFB) training is simple, safe, and effective. Specialized computer software interacts with your brain in a way that improves neural plasticity. This practice uses the advanced, proprietary NFB technology of NeurOptimal® by Zengar to access the brain's innate ability to learn and adapt. NeurOptimal® is unique to the NFB field in its ability to transform to central nervous system to its most optimal state of functioning. Think defragging your computer's hard drive. Over time, optimization increases your ability to be at your best.
How does it work? Much like a mirror that promotes self- correction, specialized software monitors your brain activity 256 times per second. When brain activity shows signs it is not functioning smoothly, there is a change in the output of an audio-visual stream of information native to the software. This is the feedback that alerts your brain to what it is doing, giving the brain an opportunity to learn to organize itself more efficiently.
With repeated training sessions, the brain learns to 'reset' itself to run more smoothly. All of this learning is non-invasive and happens outside your conscious awareness.
NeurOptimal adjusts itself automatically in response to your brain's activity, individualizing the training, microsecond by microsecond, to your own brain's functioning. Because of this reciprocity, there are no side effects.
Your central nervous system becomes more efficient and effective OVERALL, meaning that it takes less energy to maintain its internal integrity. And, along the way, flexibility and resiliency get built in.

*The American Academy of Pediatrics considers neurofeedback a Level 1 Best Support for ADHD with efficacy equivalent to or better than medication.
**NeurOptimal® is not a medical treatment, however many people have experienced relief from physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.
***NeurOptimal Neurofeedback training is not a treatment as defined by the insurance industry. Therefore, it is usually not be covered by insurance. It is recommended you check your policy about coverage, as claim submissions are subject to a Determination for Medical Necessity Review .
