NeurOptimal® and Neuroplasticity

NeurOptimal® and Neuroplasticity


NeurOptimal® is based on the neuroplasticity principle that your brain learns from what it just did. Before the turn of the 20th century, it was accepted that after you reached childhood, your brain stops growing. Your brain volume and internal structures, i.e. the neurons - synapses, axons, cell body, cell dendrites are all fixed for the rest of your life. But this is incorrect!


Neuroplasticity - The Brain Can Learn New Tricks

Indeed, your brain keeps on growing, changing, regenerating, dying all at the same time until the time you expire finally. In fact, any new stimulus, be it positive or negative or neutral, impacts on your brain structure, brain connections and chemical transmissions in the brain. In short, your brain is living. More importantly your brain is mouldable. Like plastics or plasticine. This idea was introduced by Enesto Lugaro in 1906 an Italian psychiatrist. So, throughout the course of your lifetime, your brain adapts, learn and do recover from injury. The caveat is you need to give stimuli to your brain. If you are used to doing things the same thing over and over again, this process becomes hardwired in your brain. It becomes a habit. And you do know, you have good and bad habits that can help you or hurt you in your day to day life.


Thus, when you are exposed to a stimulus accurately with enough repetition and intensity, you change or rewire the brain. But for some of us, we need more stimulation. And for some others we need to reduce "over" stimulation. The thing about NeurOptimal®, with more training, the brain will adapt learn and relearn. New connections are built, connections rebuilt and new connections get replaced. This is neuroplasticity. But this happens very individually. It is something very personal. It is uniquely the person who experiences it. Each person experiences and moves at different speeds and the rate can be slow, medium, fast. And with regular NeurOptimal® brain training, your brain and its connections are all primed or oiled. Whatever task or whatever situation that you are in, it will be smoother now than if you had not done any NeurOptimal® brain training. Personally, I used to be very affected by stressful situations or negative comments. But now after many training sessions, sometimes these issues just melt away, or I don't get overly worked up like before. At work when I was given tough assignments, I was able to take it in stride without too much emotional baggage or feeling overly stressed.


NeurOptimal® Acts as a Mirror to Your Brain

NeurOptimal® uses neurofeedback technology that lets your brain know what it just did. It works in real time so you can "hear" through the pauses or scratches how your brain responds to the information it's being fed. That is the neurofeedback in your NeurOptimal® brain training. NeurOptimal® lets the brain do the work and learn from its own electrical activity over the course of the training. You do not have to be conscious about this process. In fact, you can't do anything about it. And for that matter you don't have to do anything. It is effortless. You can be sleeping, or thinking or just closing your eyes. Even if you had a traumatic brain injury. You will and can still get all the benefits of the training. Just know that your brain will get a solid workout. Your brain, in all its innate wisdom endowed, will decide for itself how it will react to the information. The brain in itself, will always move away from a position of discomfort. The brain will always be acting in ways to expend the most efficient amount of energy. This is the wisdom of the brain. The brain is a self-organization organism. It can take care of itself. But because of the daily stressors and the habits and ideas we learn and pickup throughout our lived experience, the wisdom of the brain gets masked or is overruled.


Are You Functioning Optimally?

So, it’s not a question of “if” you can do this. You can. You already are doing it. The only question is, “How can I maximize the benefits of this for my life?”


NeurOptimal® training gives you a very unique and powerful opportunity to literally change your brain from the inside out. When your brain is functioning optimally, you will be functioning optimally in your daily life. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Your brain will be more regulated than before you undertook NeurOptimal® training. Sometimes though you may not realize that you indeed have change after your regular brain training sessions. So, we have a tracking system that you or your close ones can use to monitor your progress. Usually it is the people around you who will notice changes in you because the change can be so subtle!


NeurOptimal® Training is Effortless

What’s unique when you train with NeurOptimal® you don’t need to spend hours in front of a computer. You don't need to take any tests before or during the training. You don't need to do any quantitative EEG. You don’t need to be stressed, anxious or depressed to get the benefits. It is effortless. Know that your brain is working harder for you every day if it is not regulated. To help your brain to be efficient, it needs the right tools to work better. NeurOptimal® is the perfect tool for that.

NeurOptimal® is used to train your brain to be more efficient, stronger, less stressed, more focused, happier and healthier. It makes you to be regulated. It allows the wisdom of your brain to shine through. This is the ultimate goal of NeurOptimal®.
