HOW DOES NEUROPTIMAL WORK?
NeurOptimal® provides information to the brain from a wide array of dynamically changing frequency envelopes representing frequencies of brain function, some of which were first described by Zengar and are unique to NeurOptimal®. With NeurOptimal® you receive the benefits of training across the range of all the available frequencies simultaneously. NeurOptimal® uses twenty different targets, each of these targets working dynamically with “where the central nervous system is” at that moment in time. Benefits of working with multiple frequencies the way NeurOptimal® does, is that you don’t get side effects as you do when working with only one or two frequencies. Furthermore, NeurOptimal® no longer augments or suppresses frequencies as traditional systems do. Each frequency has a particular effect or state with which it is associated. So if you specifically target one that quiets the brain or one that activates the brain as is done with linear NFB systems for example, you run the danger of becoming over quieted or over-activated. When you work with NeurOptimal®, you are flowing through the various frequencies on an as-needed basis, each frequency bandwidth balancing the others. You cannot go too far in any one direction, because you are receiving feedback from the entire spectrum, moment by moment! You end up alert and relaxed, feeling alive and quiet at the same time. As the brain organizes, thresholds dynamically adapt, providing the most efficient and least rigid training available today. Perfectly balanced.
NeurOptimal® recognizes that the behavior of the EEG represents the dynamical activity of conscious and unconscious information processing within its entirety. NeurOptimal® is designed to detect any emerging shifts at its earliest preconscious origins and alert the central nervous system (CNS) so that it can make its decision toward efficient processing. The ongoing return to stability and re-normalization interrupts the dynamic driving the problematic behavior, before it gains momentum, and trains the CNS to maintain stability and efficiency of processing.
As the brain and CNS as a whole, develop stability, the full potential of efficient processing and transformational capacity becomes increasingly available. This continues with each session until the brain and CNS develop the ability to carry the stability and increased processing and transformational capacity across sessions, and then into the future independently of NeurOptimal® training.
