NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is a FDA approved wellness unit that can help to train the brain to be more resilient in life situations. Small sensors are placed on the scalp and ears while the patient listens to music and sounds through earphones.
Sessions are approximately 40 minutes. Patients can close their eyes and relax, read or look at phone. The person does not need to do any active participation. Younger patients are welcome to bring in homework if they need to.
The neurofeedback sessions have helped people with increased focus, more relaxed mental attitudes, lessened depressive symptoms, better sleep, calmer communication in situations and some patients have also reported better digestion. This occurs as the sympathetic/parasympathetic systems develop better balance and flexibility as they reach homeostasis. When you brain gets tired, it just tunes out the audible information just like tuning out a television in the background. Because of this, there are no problems with overstimulation or problems arising from these sessions.
