Part 2: A Conversation with Dr. Brown, creator of NeurOptimal® - Neurofeedback Training Co

00:00 Dr Brown's early years of working with protocol neurofeedback systems
18:29 First version of NeurOptimal called '5 Phase Model' in the late 1990s
21:50 NeurOptimal's design advancements with technological advancements
28:20 Early mental health conditions explored with NeurOptimal
36:20 What were the early results?
43:30 The introduction of the fully automated (AutoNav) NeurOptimal system and the components of NeurOptimal

Drs. Sue and Vadeane Brown are the creators of the NeurOptimal® System and of a new and revolutionary neurofeedback type which is called Dynamical Neurofeedback™.

In this conversation, hosted by Natalie Baker at Neurofeedback Training Co., Dr. Brown discuss how NeurOptimal is different than the first generation, protocol neurofeedback systems. Why the development of technology was important for developing NeurOptimal and the idea behind the Five Phase Model of Neurofeedback (Dr. Brown, 1995) which integrated multiple protocols into a single comprehensive approach that could be used regardless of clinical presentation.

With his background in mathematics, physics, computer programming, designing and implementing automated outcome studies as well as multimodal assessment, he was able to co-develop, with his wife Dr. Sue Brown, the Period Three Approach to neurofeedback. Their Approach was fundamental to their new and revolutionary neurofeedback system (later to become NeurOptimal®), showcasing their vision of Dynamical Neurofeedback™.
