Peak Performance Neurofeedback

Peak Performance Neurofeedback is very similar to Neurofeedback training in it’s set up. Electrodes are placed on to the head and ears in a comfortable manner. Clients may feel fatigued at the end of a session because Peak Performance Neurofeedback is essentially a workout for your brain. The client is practicing self-regulation, and they may feel tired after a session.

Peak Performance Training is based on a Neurofeedback Training protocols. This is a non-invasive treatment modality that focuses on teaching individuals to regulate their electrical brainwave activity. No research to date has reported any negative side-effects from Neurofeedback training. Neurofeedback training programs are designed so that only positive, optimal brainwave patterns are reinforced. No negative or unwanted brainwave patterns can be created in this way.

Neurofeedback and Biofeedback techniques are also used in Peak Performance Training settings to help improve an individual’s level of calm, focus, relax, and alert. If you have a diagnosed condition, the benefits of Peak Performance Training may help a diagnosed conditioned. If you have a diagnosed condition, Peak Performance Training may be a great option after you complete your initial treatment plan.

Peak Performance Training relies on the concept of neuroplasticity, which states that the brain can alter its function and reorganize itself in response to learning and other events. Neuroplasticity tends to decrease as you age, so younger clients tend to progress the quickest. This is why it is easier to learn a language or skill early in life as opposed to when you are older. The most common age ranges for training are 8-24 years old, although some clients start as young as six years old. Older clients (55 years of age and over) may need a few more sessions to achieve certain training goals, but can still greatly benefit from Peak Performance Training.

Each of our clients is paired with a clinician who works with the client on a one-on-one basis. After a baseline recording of the trainee’s brainwave patterns is taken, the client begins training their focus and concentration. Complex EEG software is used to give the client feedback when they are relaxed, alert, and focused. The client gets multiple chances to practice achieving this state. After each round, the mentor gives the client feedback and explains their scores related to their brainwave patterns. This is reviewed at the end of the session with the parents as well.

It depends on your current situation and training goals. After a detailed assessment and clinical interview, we can decide if you are a good candidate for peak performance neurofeedback training. We would then move forward and design a personalized program to help you achieve your training goals. Moreover, EEG-based peak performance training is something not well known and may benefit clients who has tried other methods to optimize their performance.

This depends on your training goals. Generally, clients observe changes between the 5th and 10th session. We have to remember that Peak Performance Training is a learning experience. Everyone learns at a different pace and have different criteria for change.

Clients usually complete 20-40 sessions though more may be required depending on their training goals. Certain peak performance clients (executives, athletes, and students without a diagnosis) may meet their goals at the end of 20 sessions. After specific training goals are achieved, new training goals can be defined, and a new training program can be created.

Yes. We only ask that the trainee stops taking medication during assessments as it does affect their EEG recordings.

Psychological assessments and reassessments are covered by most insurance companies. Peak Performance Training may be covered by certain insurance companies for certain conditions. Insurance companies may cover treatments plans approved by a clinical psychologist. Please inquire with your extended health care benefits company and we will do our best to work with them.
