What Does NeurOptimal Neurofeedback Feel Like?
NeurOptimal is an advanced neurotechnology designed to train the brain to function at peak performance levels. This innovative form of neurofeedback is not a medical treatment, but rather a training for the brain. It tracks the brain's millisecond-by-millisecond electrical activity and uses auditory sense perception to give key feedback to reset patterns. NeurOptimal is a non-invasive and safe neurofeedback training for kids and adults alike.
Many people wonder what it feels like to have a NeurOptimal session. The experience is unique to each individual, and the effects can be subtle or obvious. Some people report feeling clearer, calmer, lighter, or brighter for a few hours after the session, while others may not notice any discernible change in the moment.
What Does NeurOptimal Neurofeedback Feel Like?
During a NeurOptimal session at The Roomy Brain, you will wear ear clips and two small sensors on the sides of your head. These pick up the delicate electrical activity of your brain.
You relax and close your eyes and listen to music or watch a movie. NeurOptimal processes your brain signals very rapidly and when it detects them moving into an “instability”, the music or movie pauses very briefly. That’s it. That’s all that happens. This is the “feedback”.
The pauses in the music are the only indication that the brain is being trained. The pauses are so brief that they are often not consciously noticed by the person undergoing the session. Sometimes the pauses are noticeable that you may think that there is a problem with the internet :-).
The brain is simply interacting adaptively with itself moment by moment, not striving to produce "more" of some frequency and "less" of another according to an outside “expert”.
What Results Can I Expect?
There is no standard answer to this question because everyone’s central nervous system is unique.
While we cannot predict what your brain will do with the information it receives from our neurofeedback training, we can offer a few guidelines. We often tell clients that they will likely notice SOMETHING shift within six sessions. Early on, clients commonly report shifts in their sleep patterns, feeling well rested, having an improved outlook and engaging more effectively with colleagues or loved ones. Changes you experience may or may not be related to the goals you came in with, but generally speaking, any kind of shift is a positive indication that the NeurOptimal brain training is working as designed.
After a single neurofeedback session, there is no "average" experience as each brain is different and the same brain is different in any given moment. Depending on many factors including your current state and how quickly your brain is able to learn new things, there are a range of possible feelings you may have after any given session. Some might report experiencing a sense of clarity, focus, or calm. Others might not notice any discernible change in the moment.
How Long Will the Effects Last?
Clients describe feeling clearer, calmer, lighter, or brighter for a few hours after the session – a feeling that typically will last through the day. It’s as if the brain says “I know what to do with this!” and it goes through all the steps it went through in the weeks of initial training, but very rapidly. So you quickly get back into your good place. It’s very nice to know if you are going through a more difficult time, you can quickly do a session or two to recover your optimal flow and functioning.
Doing NeurOptimal sessions is a bit like learning to read — minus the hard work! Once you know how to read, you can’t not know. So yes, it lasts. But if you don’t read for a very long time, you might get a little rusty. Then once you jump back in, you quickly catch up and you’re off!
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
We often tell clients to expect SOMETHING to shift within six sessions. Often, it is much quicker than that. Early on, clients commonly report feeling better rested, having an improved outlook and engaging more effectively with colleagues or loved ones.
Changes you experience may or may not be related to the goals you came in with, but generally speaking, any kind of shift is a positive indication that the NeurOptimal brain training is working as designed.
The number of sessions required to achieve your goals will depend on your individual needs and goals.
