Wat is NeurOptimal® neurofeedback?
NeurOptimal® is a form of neurofeedback whereby your brain receives information about its own activity during a relaxed session. You sit or lie down quietly, listen to music or watch a film, while the system registers changes in your brain activity via sensors.
When the system notices a sudden change, you'll hear a very brief interruption in the sound. That interruption is the feedback. It's as if your brain receives a signal: “pay attention, something is changing.” Based on that information, the brain can reorganise itself and learn to switch better.
You don't need to do anything actively during training. You don't need to concentrate, perform any tasks, or do anything right or wrong. This makes NeurOptimal® accessible and suitable for home use.
Important to know: NeurOptimal® does not send anything into the brain, nor does it impose a fixed direction. The system measures and provides feedback. The brain does the rest itself.
At Brain-Fit, we use NeurOptimal® to support issues such as stress, burnout, sleep problems, overstimulation, concentration difficulties and recovery after Post-concussion syndrome.
What is a home neurofeedback system?
A home neurofeedback system is a system that allows you to do neurofeedback training independently at home. Brain-Fit works with NeurOptimal®, a dynamic form of neurofeedback where the brain receives information about its own activity during training.
During a session, you listen to music or watch visuals. The system records changes in your brain activity and provides subtle feedback through brief interruptions in the sound. This way, the brain receives information that helps it regulate itself better.
You don't need to do anything actively. You don't need to concentrate, perform exercises, or do anything “right.” You just sit or lie down relaxed while the system does its work.
Who is a home system suitable for?
A home neurofeedback system can be interesting when you want to complete multiple training sessions in a short period and would prefer to do so at home. For example, if you have little energy, become overstimulated easily, have a busy family, or don't want to travel to the practice all the time.
The home system is often chosen by people with:
- Stress symptoms
- burn-out or exhaustion
- Sleep problems
- overstimulation
- concentration problems
- ADHD or ADD
- Anxiety or tension symptoms
- Recovery after concussion (post-concussion syndrome/PCS)
- Headache or migraine
- Lingering COVID symptoms
- Difficulty with sensory processing
Especially with Post-concussie syndroom (PCS), burn-out, stress and sleep problems Training at home can be pleasant because you can build up at your own pace.
Home neurofeedback for concussion (PCS)
After a concussion (PCS - post-concussion syndrome), symptoms can persist for a long time. These can include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, concentration problems, poor sleep, sensitivity to light and sound, or becoming overstimulated quickly.
For this target group, a home system can be practical, as travelling to a clinic can sometimes be too burdensome. You can train at home at a quiet time and split the sessions in a way that suits your capacity.
Brain-Fit not only looks at the brain, but also at recovery capacity, stress load, sleep, nutrition, immune system, and stimulus processing. We do this from the PNEI vision using the Neuro-4 profile test.
Do you have any complaints after a Concussion or PCSRequest no-obligation advice on home neurofeedback.
What do you get when you rent a home system?
When you rent a neurofeedback home system through Brain-Fit, you get more than just equipment.

Extra guidance with PNEI Neuro-4 profile test
At Brain-Fit, we combine neurofeedback with insights from PNEIpsycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology. This means we look at the cooperation between the brain, nervous system, hormones, immune system, stress responses, sleep and recovery.
Complaints such as burnout, sleep problems, overstimulation, or persistent symptoms after a concussion, often do not occur in isolation. They are regularly linked to long-term stress, reduced recovery capacity, disturbed sleep, low energy levels, or an overloaded nervous system.
Therefore, when renting a home system, you also get the Neuro-4 profile test. This test helps to gain better insight into your personal profile.
The Neuro-4 profile test provides insight into, among other things:
- stress loading
- resilience
- performance capacity
- Sleep and energy
- sensitivity to stimuli
- Mental resilience
- physical signs
- Possible underlying disturbances
- Points of attention for lifestyle and recovery
Based on these insights, we can better tailor the guidance to your situation. This will make the process more personal and focused.

Step 3: Neuro-4 profile test and medical history form
You will complete the Neuro-4 profile test. This provides extra insight into your stress, recovery, and resilience profile. You will also complete the anamnesis form.

Is neurofeedback safe at home?
NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is a non-invasive training. Nothing is sent into or imposed on the brain. The system measures brain activity and provides feedback via sound.
Neurofeedback is not a medical treatment and does not replace a doctor, psychologist, or specialist. For medical complaints, medication use, or doubts, it is important to also maintain contact with your practitioner.
Brain-Fit guides you in practical use and helps you build up the training sessions gradually.
