How does Brain Activation Training work?

An overview of the process. Connecting electrodes to an amplifier, software, what the therapist sees, and what the client may see.

 

How Many Sessions Are Needed ?

Noticeable results typically occur between the first and tenth session. In many cases, it is recommend a minimum of 30-45 sessions for the results to hold longer term. It’s hard to predict with any person. Some require more training, some less. The goal is to complete enough brain training – enough learning – to ensure consistent and lasting benefits.

 

How Long is Each Session ?

Total session time is typically 30 - 45 minutes. Some clients may need to start with sessions as short as 10-20 minutes, but that’s not common. Fairly rapidly, most adults and children can build up to longer sessions.

 

When do you stop the training?

Don’t stop training the minute your symptoms get better. Turn them into a new brain habit.

 

How long before I notice changes from the training?

Should you notice change in the first session? By the fifth? What’s realistic? Many people get impatient if there’s no change within 10 sessions.

 

Do symptoms ever get worse with Brain Activation training?

If something can produce positive changes relatively rapidly, is it possible to make symptoms worse, even if just for a short time?

 

When doesn’t Brain Activation work?

Just as physicians and psychologists vary in their effectiveness based on their training, knowledge, and people-skills, the same is true of Brain Activation practitioners.

 

How does training transfer to everyday situations? 

In Brain Activation training, the “beep” is the sound you hear to remind your brain to return to the goal (to relax, to focus, or a specific goal set for the client). The experience generalizes so when you’re not training, you can be more focused, less anxious, sleep better, be in a better mood, etc.

 

Is Brain Activation experimental? 

No. Since Brain Activation devices are required to carry an FDA label.
