Real-Time Brain Training
Provides information about the brain's activity as it happens.
Discover NeurOptimal®
A simple introduction to what NeurOptimal® is, how it works, and what to expect during a session.
Simple Session Experience
Sensors are applied, then you either listen to music or watch a movie while you read, relax, or simply sit comfortably.
No Diagnosis or qEEG Required
NeurOptimal® doesn't evaluate the brain; it simply works with its real-time activity.
What Is NeurOptimal®?
NeurOptimal® is a neurofeedback system, often described as a form of brain training, that provides information about the brain's activity in real time.
When the brain is given information about what it is doing, it has an opportunity to become aware of its own activity. The idea is simple: awareness can be the first step toward recognizing patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Because every brain is unique, each person's experience with NeurOptimal® is unique as well.
How Does the Training Work?
NeurOptimal® monitors the brain's electrical activity and detects significant shifts in ongoing patterns. When those shifts occur, the audio briefly pauses. These pauses are not instructions, rewards, or corrections. They are information reflecting what the brain is doing in that moment.
Sensors Are Applied
Sensors are applied to the scalp and ears. You then either listen to music or watch a movie while you read, relax, or simply sit comfortably during the session.
Relax, No Effort Required
There is no task to perform and no effort required. As the session continues, NeurOptimal® monitors ongoing activity and provides information through brief interruptions in the audio when shifts are detected.
A Session Lasts 33 Minutes
A standard session lasts 33 minutes. The technology handles the monitoring and feedback process in the background, so there is nothing you need to do.
Speaking the brain's language. Because this information comes directly from the brain's own activity, it is sometimes described as "speaking the brain's language." By receiving information about itself in real time, the brain has an opportunity to notice what it is doing and make use of that information in a way that makes sense for that individual.
Who Uses NeurOptimal®?
NeurOptimal® is used by people from many different walks of life. The system is used by individuals, families, professionals, educators, athletes, organizations, and wellness professionals around the world.
Some use it at home, while others offer sessions in professional settings or wellness settings. Reasons may differ, but the process remains consistent: a simple, non-invasive session designed to work with the brain's ongoing activity.
What Makes NeurOptimal® Distinct
No Diagnosis or qEEG Required
NeurOptimal® is not a diagnostic tool. It does not evaluate the brain in order to label, diagnose, or determine what should be changed. Each session works with the brain's activity in real time, so training does not require a diagnosis or qEEG to begin.
A qEEG can provide information about brain activity at a specific point in time. NeurOptimal® is designed to work with ongoing activity as it changes from moment to moment.
Designed for Simplicity
One of the goals behind NeurOptimal® was to make brain training straightforward and accessible. The system was designed so users do not have to make technical decisions during a session. The technology handles the monitoring and feedback process in the background, allowing the user to focus on the experience itself.
Whether used at home or in a professional setting, NeurOptimal® is designed to be simple to learn and easy to use. This allows individuals to experience advanced neurofeedback technology in the environment that works best for them.
A Wellness-Based Approach
NeurOptimal® is intended to support general wellness. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical conditions.
People choose to use NeurOptimal® for many different reasons. Some are interested in stress management, rest, focus, performance, emotional balance, personal growth, or overall well-being. Others are simply looking for ways to support the aspects of daily life that matter most to them. Individual goals may vary, but the purpose of NeurOptimal® remains the same: to provide real-time information about the brain's activity.

What People Are Saying
“It is so easy to use, and shifts are seen so quickly.”
“While I “only” tried 3 other types of neurofeedback, none of them compared to what NeurOptimal® has accomplished in my life. I went from being a client to purchasing my own.”
“NeurOptimal® has provided me with a profound way to let go of patterns that were taking up my time and energy which were once helpful, but not anymore. This opened up the space to grow, learn, and reconnect with my true Self, a process which continues to take place as I train. Thank you!”
