SIGNS OF ATTENTION AND FOCUS DIFFICULTIES. Do you or a loved one struggle with procrastination, focusing on the task at hand, completing tasks you’ve started, or becoming easily distracted? These difficulties are often related to attention and focus issues. 

WHY ATTENTION AND FOCUS ARE IMPORTANT. Attention is a foundational building block for higher level cognitive skills, such as reading comprehension and reasoning. It is a key component of information processing and encompasses two reciprocal processes:  focusing on one area, while also ignoring the rest. Not being able to focus on something and tune out other input leads to overstimulation, overwhelm and inefficiency. If our brain cannot distinguish between relevant and irrelevant input and direct our attention and resources accordingly, we may need to rely on elaborate strategies to sanitize our environment by minimizing noise, distraction, stimulation, and other extraneous input. 

HOW NEUROFEEDBACK CAN HELP. Brain training can help your brain organize itself toward greater efficiency. Many NeurOptimal® neurofeedback users report being less impulsive, overwhelmed and distracted. They are able to concentrate on the task at hand, finish tasks they start, overcome procrastination more readily, complete a sequence of steps toward a larger goal without being sidelined by overwhelm, think more clearly, act decisively, and recall information from memory more easily. The combined benefits mean that tasks are completed more quickly, leaving you with more time to live the rest of your life.
