What is
NeurOptimal®?
NeurOptimal® is an Advanced Brain Training system that works with your central nervous system – your brain – by helping to optimize brain function.
NeurOptimal® is training for your brain which allows it to operate according to its own natural potential. Its focus is on optimizing overall brain function. This approach naturally improves most complaints whatever their source.
How does NeurOptimal®
work?
Your Own Unique Personal Transformation!
You can think of NeurOptimal® training like holding up a mirror to your brain.
When you look at yourself in the mirror and see your reflection in that moment, you naturally would begin to adjust yourself. The mirror provides the information that you need to correct and adjust yourself.
It’s the same with your brain. Your brain has the inherent ability to self-correct, given the right information in that moment.
NeurOptimal® was developed by two Clinical Psychologists: Susan Cheshire Brown, Ph.D. and Valdeane W. Brown, Ph.D. www.neuroptimal.com

Is NeurOptimal® a treatment?
NeurOptimal® Advanced Braining Training is not a treatment because it doesn’t treat any specific condition and no changes are made to the running of the system based on what issues or diagnoses a client has.
Is NeurOptimal® safe and will I feel it?
It is completely safe as nothing is done to you, no electricity, no pushing, no inhibiting. Your brain activity is simply mirrored back to you via auditory feedback and your brain chooses what to do with it. It is completely safe to use at any age (newborns to senior citizens)
How long is a NeurOptimal Braining Training session?
In general, each session is approximately 45-50 minutes. This includes connecting and disconnecting the sensors, along with the session which is 33 minutes.
How many sessions will it require?
Because everyone’s central nervous system (brain) is different, it is not possible to predict exactly how your brain will respond to the information that NeurOptimal® provides. The key to success will come from using your own self-assessments using the self-reporting checklist as a guidepost. This checklist is key because it gives a numerical value to your goals and allows you to track your changes over time. Seeing the numbers change is a sign of progress! One of our goals as a certified NeurOptimal® trainer is to help clients notice how they are feeling. Noticing subtle changes helps you get ahead of your feelings, and maintain a sense of focus and calm. Self-awareness is the first step in success, because it is the key to identifying which tools will help re-regulate the mind, whether it is a NeurOptimal® session, going to bed early, eating healthy or exercising.
