NEUROPTIMAL ADVANCE BRAIN TRAINING
THE NEW NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) is a method of retraining brainwave activity to enhance optimal performance in athletes. Neurofeedback has been proven to quiet the mind to improve performance in many sports, especially those that require calm, focus and concentration under stressful conditions, and to improve cognitive function and emotional control following concussions and traumatic brain injury. Neurofeedback training also increases physical balance and improves the quality of sleep, which in turn further improves athletic performance.
Athletes are well aware of how stress and pressure can hijack the brain. It can be very difficult to remain in "the zone" of optimal mental and physical performance with the external pressures of screaming fans and media attention, and the internal noise of negative self talk, memories of past failures, and anxiety about the opposing team. Neurofeedback blocks the downward spiral of self-destructive doubting by training the brain to maintain focus and concentration, while blocking out and ignoring internal distractions. This ability to tune out distractions during competition is known as having a "quiet mind", and is one of the holy grails of sports. The capacity to have extreme concentration during stressful moments gives the athlete a great competitive edge.
NeurOptimal® brain training is a holistic, non-invasive process for achieving greater harmony and balance in the central nervous system. The software records and analyzes the brain’s activity and “reflects” that information back to the client’s brain. The brain uses this information to re-organize and balance itself in the present moment. With NeurOptimal®, we are able to improve your brain's healthy chaos which is key to adapting moment to moment to what life throws our way.
​
The neurofeedback training offered is not used as a tool for diagnosing any particular disorder, brain deficit, or “damage”; it does address imbalances in brainwaves and help increase self-regulation.
​
The goal of all neurofeedback is to transform an unhealthy, dysregulated brainwave pattern into a normal, healthy, organized pattern. By doing this, the brain becomes more stable and is able to operate optimally and efficiently. It is completely noninvasive and is considered by the Food and Drug Administration to be safe. And if you think you already a healthy well regulated brain, then NeurOptimal® brain training will give you that added edge - that extra milli-second quicker, that centimeter jump higher or further, faster recovery from a mistake - that only you can discern, that only you can feel, that only you know within yourself.
​Unlike other neurofeedback systems, NeurOptimal® is designed to focus on the central nervous system - the hub of all functions in the human body - holistically. Therefore, the specific type of problem, be it physical, mental or emotional, becomes less important. It is not surprising then, that users and trainers alike have experienced successful outcomes across a broad spectrum of complaints with almost zero side effects.
​
​NeurOptimal® neurofeedback involves applying sensors to the scalp so that the full spectrum of brainwave activity (96% of all the brainwaves are captured) can be monitored moment to moment.
​
When you are undergoing brain training, the brain recognizes that it is producing an event that causes you suffering for example - when you lack motivation, feeling anxious, feeling depressed, not focused and that event is produced at that moment in your brain - because of the habits build over the past during times of overwhelming stress and moments of trauma. Your brain will get feedback - the music you are listening pauses or stops - than it comes back to the present and your brain training learning journey continues. Your brain learns to become more efficient, regulated and come back quickly to more efficient brain patterns.
​
​You don't have to do anything; in fact you can't do anything; it's just the brain processing and self-regulating itself to be better organised. You just come, relax and come out for the better. Honest, easy and effective.
