NeurOptimal® is not a medical treatment for illnesses. Indeed many people have experienced relief from physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Athletes, business professionals, managerial leaders, students, artists and musicians have experienced enhanced performance.
We, at Happy BrainLab, strongly believe that everyone's brain is capable of optimal functioning. But when your central nervous system is stressed - emotionally, physically or mentally then your brain operates inefficiently. Taking a short break, sleeping, doing something nice helps the brain and the central nervous system to step out of a stressed situation. But old patterns that are inefficient remains.
In the context of NeurOptimal® training, the brain is optimized and there are some general tendencies that accompany the improvements in the qualities of brain function.
General Benefits
#1 PRESENT - The ability of your brain to coherently focus and engage in the task at hand, not being distracted or diverted by what it had been doing or by its own internal activities AND the ability to drop whatever activity it is doing at any moment and return to open perceptual awareness and restart.
#2 RESILIENT – The ability of your brain to be under its own control as it moves through its range of possibilities. The resilient brain brings capacity to handle stressors and pressure and the potential to handle challenges, demands and difficulties in a positive and productive manner than by engaging in a “stress response” (i.e. fight, flight or freeze) that reduces our capacity and ability to handle any challenge and which has a negative impact on our bodies.
#3 FLEXIBLE – The ability of the brain to shift through the range of its possible states and activities and easily find the best match for the situation. It is able to adjust and adapt to whatever situation it encounters and it can do so from a wide range of possibilities. A flexible brain has an extensive repertoire of possible responses.
During the training process, the brain is being consistently presented with opportunities to choose whether to continue an activity, adjust or update. The brain is constantly ‘unsticking and untangling itself’ during the training process from constrained and stuck patterns – this directly increases the brain’s range of possibilities and flexibility.

The beneficial impact of NeurOptimal® are far-reaching and frequently it is profound and poignant in touching the trainee's life. NeurOptimal® simply informs the brain, which is an organized system of intelligence that can optimize itself when given the right kind of information. Successful training is a learning task and the greater the skills acquired, the greater the gains. As with any other kind of learning the benefits remain, to be refreshed with some booster sessions if needed. Virtually any brain can benefit.
Obviously, the more sessions you run the more you can expect to achieve.
