<p>Little is known about the mechanism of action in Valdeen Brown’s Neuroptimal. This program is a simple set up, where the active electrodes are placed at C3 and C4 and the references are place on the upper ear cartilage and the ground electrode is placed
    on the ear lobe. The activity of the EEG is measured and displayed (using&nbsp; feedback visual called a “mind mirror”) . The slowest activity measured is 0.1Hz and the fastest is 64 HZ. The frequencies are squashed, overeall, and this is thought
    of as a squash protocol to many in the field. As stated on the Neuroptimal website: “The differences in electrical signal are measured in terms of Duration, Intensity, Frequency and Shift and is unique to Neuroptimal. This information is offered back
    to the brain in real time via auditory and visual interruptions of the media.” . The Neuroptimal approach involves training both sides of the brain at the same time, over the motor strip, using multiple frequencies and reinforcement tones. There are
    three basic stages of training, and the system alters training frequencies at each stage. The neuroptimal system is dedicated to reducing abnormal variability in the EEG to enhance system integration and functioning.<br></p>
<p>The system is described on the website as “a unique and highly expanded Neurofeedback process that is more sophisticated than the antiquated linear approaches that only include the 2-D model of frequency and amplitude as initially founded in the field
    of [NF. As a result, Neuroptimal is able to recognize the incredible natural potential of the brain and give information (or communication) that mirrors what the CNS just did. This information takes the form of mathematical interruptions in the auditory
    and visual fields that offers the individual a “mirror” into their own electrical activity. Thereby reminding the individual to move away from discomfort.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Neuroptimal system is marketed to non-clinical users, noting that brain maps and other means of clinical assessment are not necessary, since the device has not been termed a medical device by the FDA, but instead as a personal wellness device. They
    are explicit that the system does not diagnose, treat, mitigate, prevenet, or cure any disease, disorder, or abnormal physical state.</p>
