Like going to the gym, the more often & consistently you train, the more rapid the results.
Frequency depends on schedule and finances.
Most visit their neurofeedback trainer once a week. But, it’s okay to train more often (ex. twice a week, once a day or even twice a day).

Rare reports of feeling slightly “revved up” may occur when an individual brain decides to change a lot at once & the person is unaccustomed to such enhanced brain capacity.
Better sleep is the most often reported “side effect”.

The particular technology used at BuzzNutrition lets your brain decide what it wants to do. It does not force it to change.
Sensors on your head are “out only” and do not transmit any information into your brain.
NeurOptimal uses negative reinforcement rather than positive reinforcement, which leaves room for decision making.
The brain is “discouraged” by static in music when it makes brainwaves that go outside a range of stable brain frequencies, aka. “no-stress zone”. But it doesn’t change unless it decides to.
Other systems “reward” the brain for reaching a specific pre-determined brain frequency. All brains like rewards, so this makes it more likely to change when maybe it shouldn’t.
The reward system is problematic because not all brains are the same. Your brain may not be quite ready to jump into a particular frequency quite yet.
Furthermore, other systems rely on the practitioner to pick the frequency. These practitioners are highly professional and capable, but no one knows your brain better than… your brain.
