We’re proud to offer NeurOptimal® neurofeedback a gentle, non-invasive way to support the brain in functioning at its best.
We are proud to offer NeurOptimal® neurofeedback at our clinic. NeurOptimal® is a type of neurofeedback used to help train the brain to function at its best.
The questions below cover what neurofeedback is, what to expect, and how to get started.
Neurofeedback works by giving your brain real-time information about its own activity. NeurOptimal® reads your brain’s electrical activity through sensors, and when it detects abrupt shifts, it provides subtle feedback (usually a brief pause in the audio you’re listening to). Your brain notices this feedback and, over time, uses it to reorganize and settle itself naturally and without conscious effort on your part.
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s natural ability to change and reorganize itself by forming new connections throughout life. It’s the reason we can learn, adapt, and recover. NeurOptimal® works with this built-in capacity, giving the brain the information it needs to find more efficient, balanced patterns on its own.
A session is comfortable and effortless. Small sensors are placed on your scalp and ears to read your brain’s activity nothing is sent into your brain; the system only listens and responds. You simply sit back, relax, and listen to music or sounds. Brief pauses in the audio are the brain’s cue to recalibrate. Many people find sessions deeply relaxing.
People of many ages and backgrounds use NeurOptimal® to support general wellness including focus, relaxation, sleep, stress management, and overall resilience. Because it’s non-invasive and gentle, it can be suitable for children, adults, and seniors alike. Your clinician can talk with you about whether it’s a good fit for your goals.
The number of sessions varies from person to person, depending on your goals. Neurofeedback is typically most effective as a series of sessions over time rather than a single visit.
NeurOptimal® can be used on its own or alongside therapy. Whether counselling is recommended depends on your individual goals and what you’re hoping to address.
