NeurOptimal training at home is very easy and the information here aims to help you get up and running as quickly as possible.
Before you start your NeurOptimal Training will need:
- Headphones (wired rather than bluetooth)
- A Wi-Fi internet connection to install weekly updates
- Wet wipes or tissues to clean the sensors of the conductive paste after every training session
- A quiet environment and time to yourself.
- The training itself takes 33 minutes but the additional set up time will require approx. 45 minutes.
Step 1 – Track your changes
We recommend using the progress tracker checklist. This will help you make sense of and identify the changes you may experience along the way. NeurOptimal trains the whole of the brain, so the shifts that come with this are far-reaching but sometimes start in subtle ways.
Step 2 – Set up your system
Unbox your NeurOptimal training system and set it up along with the video below. If you had your system sent to you then please keep the packaging for its return journey. The information in this video is intended to supplement the more detailed User Manual that you will be emailed in your welcome email.
Step 3 – Attach the sensors
Attach the sensors to your head by watching the following training video. Many people worry about getting the sensor placement correct but if you get them close to those points, then there is no “wrong place”.
Step 4 – Starting you NeurOptimal Session
Once your system is set up and the sensors are in place, locate your name in the Vault and double-click it to begin your session.
Important: Be sure to start your session by double clicking your name. If you simply press “play” on the music bar, it will only play the music—no neurofeedback will be delivered.
When everything is correctly set up—with cables connected and sensors properly placed—you’ll hear music along with small skips or pauses. These subtle skips are the feedback signals sent to your brain. They may not sound like much, but your brain is listening closely and engaging in a moment-to-moment training process. The amazing part? You don’t need to consciously do anything—your brain handles the work all on its own.
During the session, it’s best to stay relatively still. You can simply relax (many people find it deeply calming), or if you prefer, you can read, draw, study, or even watch TV with the volume low. And if you drift off to sleep—that’s absolutely fine too!
Step 5 – Close the system down
After your 33 minute training session the z-amp will shut down automatically and all you need to do is close down the software and tablet and wipe the conductive paste off the sensors with a wet wipe or tissue to prevent corrosion. Place the system back in its flight case for protection.
