What is Neurofeedback?

Watch this short video from Neuroptimal® to explain how Dynamical® Neurofeedback works!

Dynamical® Neurofeedback: Training with the Neuroptimal® system is a 4-dimensional wellness model measuring the duration, intensity, frequency, and shifts in your brain’s electrical patterns. This process is more congruent with a holistic approach because every session is different just as your brain is ever-changing and responding in real-time to internal and external stimuli. It is natural, non-invasive, and will provide your brain with the feedback it needs to make its own adjustments, again in real-time, optimizing your brain’s ability to self-correct, self-regulate, and Dynamically® adapt leading to greater flexibility and resilience. ​

Neurofeedback has its roots in Biofeedback:  This is a method of monitoring physiological responses to gain greater awareness and then feeding that information back to the system, creating a loop of sorts, where it can be used for greater self-regulation. There are two models of neurofeedback. Linear and Dynamical®.  Healthy Horizons provides Dynamical neurofeedback. Continue reading to learn why!

​Linear Neurofeedback: This is a 2-dimensional medical model that measures, augments, or inhibits the amplitude and frequency of your brain’s electrical patterns. This requires highly trained practitioners that rely on specific diagnoses, more static treatment protocols, and statistical norms to force your brain to respond in specific ways based on those “norms.”

Will Neurofeedback Work For Me? 

​Life can be hard and overwhelming, and things can happen that catch us off guard. Our brain isn’t always able to respond quickly or efficiently. Instead, it might repeat the same patterns, repeating the same story, perhaps patterns and stories that do not serve us well.
​This repeated story will usually create a persistent consistent electrical pattern in the electrical signal of our brains which is why we might find ourselves worrying and experiencing anxiety about the same things over & over with little to no flexibility to adapt in a healthy way. This can negatively impact our sleep patterns, our moods, our focus and learning performance, and ultimately our relationships.

​Training the brain through Dynamical® neurofeedback can help. Through a complex and 4-dimensional mathematical algorithm, the Neuroptimal® software system monitors and measures the duration, intensity, frequency, and shifts occurring in the brain a whopping 256 times per second!  When small subtle changes in the electrical signal of the brain are noticed, the system creates an interruption in the audio/visual stream to make your brain aware of this information. The brain then adjusts according to this information and naturally comes back to the present.

Truly a Family Affair!

​Everyone in the family can benefit from brain training.  Dynamical® neurofeedback helps your brain do what it naturally wants to do, adapt, self-correct, and thrive! Neuroptimal® is able to communicate mathematically in the same way the central nervous system intrinsically talks to the body. As the training process provides the information the brain needs, by monitoring the electrical patterns and changes detected, much like a mirror, the brain can respond. Ultimately, this process helps your brain become more flexible and resilient!

Training your brain through Dynamical® neurofeedback is time-tested, safe, and effective with more than three million hours of training use worldwide over the last 17 years! Training your brain this way taps into your central nervous system’s inherent ability to self-correct and optimize flexibility and resiliency regardless of age, individual goals, or diagnosis because it is diagnostically agnostic. This means a disorder or a diagnosis, or lack thereof, will not prevent an individual from benefitting from the training process.

​This training is safe for all ages and has been associated with promoting:

• Healthier sleep habits, waking more refreshed, improved mental acuity, focus, and attention, enhanced learning capacity, feeling calmer,  supporting better relaxation and stress management, and an overall sense of well-being as part of a healthier lifestyle. When your brain becomes more organized and flexible, it naturally becomes more resilient. This means many other things in your world are just easier to face, navigate through or manage, and you are better able to adapt, or "roll with it."
