FAQs
Q: I heard about neurofeedback and was wondering if you can treat medical conditions?
A: Ashland Brain Harmony is not a medical facility; we are a technology company and our goal is to optimize the brain through a technology program. We do not treat, heal, diagnose, or cure medical conditions.
Q: How do I know how many sessions I need?
A: It is recommended that a client start with 10 to 20 sessions done once or twice a week. Most people will notice some interesting changes after 6 sessions. Many people notice changes in the quality of their experience after each session.
Q: I am currently taking medications, should I stop taking this before undergoing sessions? If I don’t will the NeurOptimal training still work?
A: We are not a medical facility nor do we offer medical treatment and we never advise anyone regarding their prescribed medication.
Q: How does it work?
A: The NeurOptimal® proprietary neurofeedback system is a highly personalized brain training software that prompts the central nervous system to help make the best use of your brain’s neural resources.
Neurofeedback training for the brain is similar to physical training for the body. Much of our suffering comes from pervasive recurring thoughts and feelings in which our minds become emotionally stranded or cognitively “stuck”.
Neurofeedback prompts the brain to draw from its existing resources and pull itself out of these mental “ruts”. The result is a more open and positive mindset in which obstacles are more manageable and problems more resolvable.
Much like a mirror that promotes self-correction, NeurOptimal®’s proprietary neurofeedback program monitors your brain waves and then provides “feedback” to your central nervous system about what it has just done. When the software detects a tremor in your brain wave pattern, it sends an audible signal that encourages the brain to “reset” and self-correct.
Q: Can you guarantee results?
A: In tracking results of NeurOptimal sessions it has been determined that roughly 85% of clients report favorable results. However we cannot guarantee how each person will respond or exactly what will change for them. Every brain is different, like a fingerprint, so we cannot tell you exactly what your specific results will be.
Q: Will my results stick? Is it forever?
A: Like learning to ride a bicycle, once the brain learns new more efficient ways to operate the learning is always there. You may have to practice your bike riding skills if you have not ridden for years but your brain does not forget the learned patterns of success. Many clients continue to come in for “tune-up” sessions whenever they feel they need them.
Q: Can you work with children?
A: Yes. We encourage parents to bring some activities/books their child may enjoy while they are having sessions.
Q: How is this different from other forms of neurofeedback?
A: NeurOptimal works with the brain to change itself while traditional neurofeedback forces brainwaves into new and prescribed patterns. NeurOptimal supports the brain back to its own healthy state.
Q: How much do sessions cost?
A: The cost is $75 for a single session with special package pricing. See the Pricing webpage.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: If a client needs to cancel we request a 24 hour notice of the cancellation.
