Is neurofeedback safe:
Yes! NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive and is safe for anyone with a desire to improve their overall wellness.
Are there any side-effects?
Since NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive, there are no known side effects. NeurOptimal® simply provides opportunities for your brain to self-correct.
Do I need to do anything before a training session?
No preparation is needed and nothing different needs to be done. Any medications can continue to be taken. We encourage that you come in something comfortable and ready to relax during the session!
At what age can neurofeedback start?
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback training is safe and natural; people of all ages (even young children) can benefit from brain training.
How long are the sessions?
Each training session lasts 33 ½ minutes. However, if you are coming into the office to train, we suggest allowing around 45 minutes for each session, as the trainer will setup the sensors and ensure that you are comfortable and able to enjoy your training session.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is different! Some people share that they began seeing positive shifts after the first brain training session, while others may not see significant shifts until between 10-20 sessions. Sometimes, people enjoy their training so much that they continue for several months! Regardless, each time a neurofeedback training session occurs, the brain is learning how to reorganize itself, create more effective patterns, and function in a more optimal way.
Should I train my brain in the office or rent a system to use at home?
We recommend training at least 2-3 days per week to get started. If coming in is convenient for you, we look forward to supporting you in one of our two Metro Atlanta offices. However, if you are looking for a more cost effective way of brain training yourself (even daily) as well as other family members, renting a system and training at home is definitely the way to go! Training whenever and wherever you are is extraordinarily convenient.
Is the system difficult to operate?
It does not take special skills to operate the system, nor does it matter what your symptoms are. The science is brilliantly written into the software so the system and your brain work together like dance partners to move you closer to wellness. Neuroptimal™is “neurofeedback for dummies.”
Are kids able to sit through the entire 33 – 1/2 minute session?!
Training can be done while watching a movie and we have several movies appropriate for little ones. Our trainers are also equipped with strategies to support your child to receive the training and we are happy to assist in any way!
