Brainwave Optimization explained
Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ (RealTime Balancing) is based on many aspects of Neurofeedback
and Biofeedback science but is in a league if its own.
Why Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is different
With the exploding volume of information emerging about how the human brain functions, there are a wide range of
opinions on how to best change the brain. Debate is healthy and serves to increase understanding and our ability to
arrive at optimal brain health and functioning.
Consumers have many options and there is no single "best" answer. However, we believe that the best way to truly
understand how Brainwave Optimization works is to experience it.
With more than 40,000 client brain patterns in our system (and growing) - it is the largest database on
brain functioning in the world - what we share here is founded on hard data and scientific evidence.
First, our approach stands in opposition to a culture that all-to-quickly prescribes pills to alter
behavior. Time and again, studies reveal that a "quick pill" is largely ineffective when it comes to
addressing cognitive and behavioral functions. Traditional medicine contends that chemistry drives function. We
believe that function drives chemistry and that function begins in the brain.
"How does Brainwave Optimization™ compare to
biofeedback or neurofeedback?" It is important to understand that neurofeedback can be effective for some
people. Both processes are aimed at altering brainwaves. However, our modality is different than neurofeedback in
several significant ways.
Neurofeedback depends on training the person to change their brain. Brainwave Optimization trains the brain to
change itself.
Brainwave Optimization collects energy from brainwaves which is converted into sound. During brain training, the brain’s own sounds are played back to the brain, causing it to seek
its own, natural level of health.
In neurofeedback, brainwave data is collected and transmitted to a neurofeedback interpretation center. At the
center, the data is compared to brain patterns that are predefined as “normal.” Then neurofeedback
protocols are delivered to force brain patterns to match pre-determined patterns for "normal."
This approach does not recognize that, just like fingerprints, brain patterns are unique.
Neurofeedback depends on operant conditioning; forcing brainwaves into new and prescribed patterns. Brainwave
Optimization induces the brain back to its own healthy state.
Brain changes happen much more quickly and permanently when the brain trains itself rather than when a person is
being asked to train their brain.
Results happen more quickly and sustain themselves much longer when the brain seeks its own “normal” and is not
forced to match a pre-determined pattern of “normal.”
Brainwave Optimization is based on the belief that brainwave disturbances are a result of physical and
emotional traumas. Neurofeedback is based on the idea that brainwaves are dysregulated, and training can regulate
them.
Through the Brainwave Optimization process, we are able to identify how trauma is affecting brain function. We
are able to arrive at a more precise understanding of how that trauma is affecting brain patterns. Armed with that
understanding, we are able to directly target the areas of the brain that require re-balancing and harmonizing.
Neurofeedback treatments require a much longer time before results appear.
Although every person’s experience is different, neurofeedback typically requires 40 to hundreds of sessions or
more for the average person to experience results.
With Brainwave Optimization, clients typically participate in 10 to 12 sessions in the space of one week.
Whereas, our clients often report results within three or four sessions, it may take 20 neurofeedback sessions
before it can be determined that any positive effect is taking place. For many, this can be precious time and money
wasted. For children and those with serious behavioral "issues", it can be nearly impossible.
Neurofeedback is based on Newtonian physics. Brainwave Optimization is based on Quantum Physics.
Newtonian physics is based on a 17th century notion that the universe is made up of solid objects which are
attracted towards each other by a force called gravity.
Brainwave Optimization is based quantum physics which contends that the universe is a dynamic web of
interconnected and inseparable energy patterns.
A fundamental concept in quantum physics is “that which is observed is changed.” With Brainwave Optimization,
the brain observes itself in order to return to healthy functioning.
