Linear vs
Non-linear Neurofeedback

Two Approaches, One Goal

Neurofeedback has been studied for over 50 years. Originating in the 1960s with Dr. Joe Kamiya's pioneering EEG biofeedback work, neurofeedback has developed alongside advancements in our understanding of the brain's neuroplasticity and technological innovations. Today, unlike 40 years ago, neurologists acknowledged that the brain, akin to the body, can significantly improve and heal through linear and non-linear models.

Understanding the differences helps you choose the method that best fits your needs.

We chose the NeurOptimal System

After extensively researching all the professional neurofeedback systems, we chose the latest generation called Dynamical neurofeedback. Designed by clinical psychologists, perfected by NASA engineers.

Both linear and non-linear neurofeedback are safe and effective. The choice depends on your goals, personal preferences, and the type of support you want for your brain.

Linear Neurofeedback


  • Professional diagnosis required

  • Treatment based in protocols
    based on statistical norms

  • May trigger side effects

  • Augments and suppresses frequencies

  • Careful monitoring required

  • Extensive training required

  • Medical model

Non-Linear Neurofeedback
(NeurOptimal®)


  • No diagnosis required

  • No protocols; Every session is unique

  • May trigger therapeutic effects

  • Mirrors turbulence, brain self-corrects

  • Coaching/Therapy model is ideal

  • Administering training is not required

  • Wellness model
