Welcome to the Research Program Portal!

Zengar Institute Inc. supports anyone who is interested in doing research using NeurOptimal®.

For legal reasons and in effort to remain unbiased, we are unable to perform any research ourselves or fund any study using our systems. However, we are open to loaning out systems to help support those interested in research work.

THINKING ABOUT DOING RESEARCH?

Thank you for your passion for the NeurOptimal® process. We appreciate and value your interest in the research program and look forward to working with you. We offer two distinctly different programs; Educational Research and Academic Research depending on how formalized you wish to make your research. Both types of research are important and valuable to the Community and we can use the following convenient form to help us delineate which path you are on. We are hopeful you will find value in going through this process and will learn more about how you can best serve the knowledge base of our Community.

Educational Research is primarily NeurOptimal® Trainers wanting to document how training is accomplished in their private location. This area will many times consist of case studies, personal stories, white papers and qualitative studies. We’ll educate you on the information required in the form below.

Academic Research is for the larger Academic Community that will ultimately publish their findings in collegiate publications. This is primarily for the individual working at or attending higher level education and will be investigating Neurofeedback as a Training process for the good of mankind.

PLEASE NOTE: To protect the integrity of Academic research projects, no monetary profit can be derived from the use of any materials in Academic research involving NeurOptimal®. If you already own a system and are using it to receive income, we will consider your project as Educational in nature.
