Harlem Brain uses Neuroptimal neurofeedback, a 100% non-invasive, long-lasting, safe, brain training method that brings serenity, confidence, clarity, balance and wellness into your life.

Much like an EKG or ECG, the NEUROPTIMAL®neurofeedback device is reading signals of your brain. The method is naturopathic and does not “push” the brain in any particular direction. It merely cues your central nervous system to do what is naturally best for YOUR brain. Noticeable shifts in your mood, awareness or energy level after brain training depend on the individual and can vary from session to session.

A typical session runs for 33 minutes. You would sit in a comfortable chair facing the computer screen with headphones, then the program would start and the brain training begins. You will listen to music and you may notice very brief pauses in the sound or image. These precise interruptions give the brain vital information to reorganize itself to operate optimally. You don’t have to do anything while this is happening. Just let your brain do its job.

How many sessions should I run per week?

The minimum we recommend is once a week because through the training the brain is learning a new way of decision-making and, like learning a new language, the more frequently the brain practices, the faster we learn. Similarly to training our muscles, the same amount of consistency is needed to train our brains to create healthy patterns. Our recommendation is to train 1-3 times a week, and do it consistently for 15-20 sessions. We see the best results when trainees never miss a week. Consistency pays off!
