Many Australians are curious about how neurofeedback works outside the clinic. If this is something you have been wondering about, here’s a simple guide about NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Rentals:
What is NeurOptimal® neurofeedback?
At Life Brain Training, I often get asked: “What exactly is NeurOptimal® and how can it help me?”
Simply put, NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is brain training technology designed to help your brain function at its best. It’s not a treatment or a medical procedure — instead, it’s like giving your brain a mirror so it can see how it’s working and naturally adjust itself.
Think about it this way: when you look in a mirror, you instantly notice if your hair is sticking up or if you’ve got something on your face, and you make little corrections without even thinking about it. NeurOptimal® works in a similar way for your brain. It provides real-time feedback so your brain can spot “inefficient patterns” like stress responses, overthinking, or stuck habits, and gently reorient itself to a more balanced state.
How does NeurOptimal® work?
During a session, you simply sit back, relax, and listen to music or watch a video while sensors gently pick up your brain activity. Whenever the system detects sudden shifts, it gives your brain a tiny cue through the audio — like a pause in the music. These little cues guide your brain to notice what it’s doing and naturally self-correct.
Over time, many people notice they feel:
Calmer and less stressed
More focused and clear-headed
Better sleep quality
Improved resilience in everyday life
More ease in managing emotions
It’s a gentle, non-invasive process — there’s nothing added into your system, no pushing or forcing. Just feedback, awareness, and training.
Can I do this training from the comfort of my own home?
Absolutely — and this is one of the things I love most about NeurOptimal®. You don’t have to come into the office every time to benefit from the training. At Life Brain Training, I offer at-home NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback rentals so you can experience the same gentle, effective brain training in the comfort of your own space.
It’s simple and stress-free: I set you up with everything you need, show you how it works, and then you (and even your whole family) can enjoy sessions at home. Many people love this option because it means they can fit their brain training for stress relief, focus, and emotional balance into their own routine — without extra travel or scheduling pressure.
I’m always just a call away if you need support, and you’ll still feel connected and guided throughout your home training experience.
NeurOptimal® really is about flexibility and ease — it meets you where you’re at, whether that’s in my practice or in your lounge room.
What is included in the rental kit?
All Life Brain Training NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback rental kits come with absolutely everything that you need to set you up for success.
Each kit contains:
NeurOptimal® system and ZAmp and sensors
Carry Case
Sony headphones
Instruction Manual
Conductive paste and wipes
Tracking tools diary (for each member of the household)
Expert guidance & support just a phone call away
Postage and insurance (Australia wide)
Optional media as an alternative to music (on unlimited plans)
Childrens pack (if renting specifically for children)
Who can benefit from NeurOptimal®?
I’ve worked with people of all ages who use NeurOptimal® to support:
Stress and anxiety relief
Mental clarity and focus for work or study
Emotional balance
Sleep improvement
General wellbeing and resilience
Because it’s training (not treatment), you don’t need a diagnosis to benefit. You might simply want to feel clearer, calmer, and more in control — and that’s exactly what NeurOptimal® is designed to support.
How long is each session?
Each NeurOptimal® session lasts for 33 minutes. The benefit of renting is that you can do as many sessions as you like (on an unlimited plan). Many people that rent do several sessions a week, depending on their goals.
One of the best things about doing a NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback session at home is that you can multi-task and do the sessions - so long as you are attached to the system (with long leads) and you can hear the audio through the system (so if you are watching a movie or playing a game - the volume on that should be down). This means, that you don't have to carve out an extra 33 minutes in the day, you just need to add it to something you already do (like online shopping, answering emails, paying bills etc)
How will I know if it is working ?
With NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback, the changes are often gentle and gradual, so you may not notice a dramatic “light switch” moment. Instead, it’s more like watching a flower bloom — subtle at first, but over time you realise how much has shifted.
Everyone’s experience is unique, but many people begin to notice:
Feeling calmer and less reactive in situations that used to trigger stress or frustration.
Improvements in sleep quality and feeling more rested.
A clearer, sharper mind — less mental fog, better focus and concentration.
Feeling more emotionally balanced and able to bounce back from challenges more easily.
A general sense of wellbeing, resilience, and ease in everyday life.
Sometimes the changes are so natural that you might not even realise how much progress you’ve made until someone close to you points it out. Clients often say things like, “I don’t overthink as much,” or “I handled that situation so much better than I used to.”
Because NeurOptimal® is training (not treatment), your brain takes the feedback it receives and uses it in the way that’s most helpful for you. That means the shifts are always moving you toward more balance, clarity, and optimal functioning.
