Tracking Changes with Neurofeedback | Improve Brain Function

Why We Use Journal Tracking Tools

At NeurOptimal®, we recognise that brain training is a personal journey, and progress can sometimes be subtle. While users often notice shifts in their overall well-being, tracking these changes over time helps provide clarity and insight. This is why we recommend using journal tracking tools—to document and reflect on the benefits of your sessions and recognise patterns in your mental, emotional, and physical states.

The Benefits of Journal Tracking

Increases Awareness

Noticing small changes in sleep, mood, energy levels, and focus can reinforce the effectiveness of training.

Encourages Consistency

Keeping a journal helps users stay committed to their sessions by providing motivation through visible progress.

Provides Personalised Insights

Since NeurOptimal® does not impose specific outcomes, tracking individual responses allows each user to see how their brain is naturally optimizing.

Facilitates Communication

A record of changes helps individuals discuss progress with trainers or professionals if desired.

What Are the
Journal Tracking Tools?

NeurOptimal® journal tracking tools are designed to be simple and effective, ensuring users can easily record and reflect on their experiences.

Types of Tracking Tools

Goals Sheet

Helps clarify expectations while encouraging users to notice additional changes.

Symptom Tracking Sheet

A checklist format allowing users to scale different areas such as stress levels, focus, sleep quality, and emotional balance.

Session Tracking Tools

A structured journal where users can note how they feel before and after each session.

Journal Tracking Tool

A scaling tool that helps measure subjective changes in terms of duration, intensity, frequency, and shifts.

How to Use Journal Tracking Tools Effectively

Start Before Your First Session

Write down how you currently feel, what challenges you experience, and any goals you have.

Track After Each Session

Note any immediate feelings or sensations, as well as differences you notice in the hours or days afterward.

Review Periodically

Look back at your entries weekly or monthly to observe patterns and improvements.

Stay Open to Subtle Changes

Even small shifts in clarity, mood, or resilience are signs of progress.

By using journal tracking tools, NeurOptimal® users can gain a deeper appreciation of their brain training journey, making the process more meaningful and rewarding.

Why Doesn’t NeurOptimal® Use QEEG and Graphs?

Rather than relying on complex analysis, NeurOptimal® functions as a mirror for the brain, allowing it to recognize its own activity and adjust naturally—no QEEG or graphs needed.

The Brain is Dynamic, Not Static

QEEG captures a single moment in time, but brain function is constantly changing. NeurOptimal® provides real-time feedback, allowing the brain to optimize itself naturally instead of forcing predefined patterns.

No Need for Diagnosis or Protocols

Traditional neurofeedback uses QEEG to diagnose and apply protocols aimed at altering specific brainwaves. NeurOptimal® requires no diagnosis or protocols, as it simply provides the brain with information to self-correct.

Avoids Misinterpretation & Side Effects

Interpreting QEEG data involves practitioner judgment, which can lead to misinterpretation and potential side effects. NeurOptimal® eliminates these risks by allowing the brain to regulate itself safely and effortlessly.

Personalized & Adaptive for Every Brain

Every brain is unique, and NeurOptimal® respects this by adapting in real-time rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model based on static QEEG readings.
