Our brains are truly remarkable organisms. They consist of more than 100 billion neurons. A piece of brain tissue the size of grain of sand contains 100,000 neurons and over 1 billion synapses. And what’s more, they are all talking to each other. In fact, information in the brain travels at about 268 miles per hour. On any given day a person has anywhere between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts.
Think of the brain as a tiny electrical power-plant as it produces electrical brain waves all day and night. Brain waves control our movement, emotions, thought, sensations, and behaviors. Brains are elastic, dynamic, and when met with proper training, have the ability to become even stronger. But what does proper brain training look like in 2018? One company that is at the fore-front of brain training is Neurocore.
Neurocore operates brain performance centers that offer science-based, drug-free programs that strengthen folks’ brains helping them live their best lives. Neurocore is helping people of all ages harness their brain’s true potential. From children who suffer from ADHD, to the adults who struggles with anxiety, to the older adults looking to preserve their precious memories, Neurocore treats and serves them all with cutting-edge Neurotherapy.
The Numerous Applications for Neurotherapy
Quick question, what do all of the following symptoms have in common: anxiety; lack of focus; problems sleeping; chronic stress; migraines; memory loss; and depression. All of these symptoms are largely influenced by the brain. Over time, brain wave misfires can cause emotional, physical, academic, social, and behavioral problems. But the good news is that people’s brains are capable of great change. In fact, scientist have created a term for the brain’s ability to change known as neuroplasticity. Here is a closer look at some of the applications for this breakthrough therapy.
Troubles with Sleep
Have you ever laid awake at night thinking, “I am so tired, why can’t I sleep?” Everyday stress of modern living and tech gadgets can cause sleep cycles to get out of balance. Sure, you want to sleep but it is like your brain is incapable of powering off. If only you brain had a power button! Well until Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk figure that one out, why not train your brain to slow down at Neurocore’s Brain Training Center. Good sleep is closer than you think.
Attention Deficit/Hyper-activity Disorder
Diagnosing ADHD can be difficult. As those who have weathered an ADHD diagnosis know, treating the disorder can be equally difficult. And finding an alternative to traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments that work can almost be impossible. Not impossible though as Neurocore is using 21st century science and tech to treat ADHD in adults and children. Neurofeedback is a med-free treatment that is non-invasive and can have lasting results. Roughly 80% of Neurocore clients see a decrease in their ADHD symptoms.
Peak Athletic Performance
Neurocore has also started offering its services to Athletes from all over the wide-world of sports. For elite athletes, training is the only way to keep the edge over the competition. If you are not evolving as an athlete, you will lose to those that are. Just as strength training has become a popular method of professional athletes to take their game to the next level, mental training is on track to become the next big thing in professional sports. But what about the amateur serious about their sport? Neurocore has you covered as it’s services for athletes are now being offered to the public.
Take Minnesota Viking Quarter-Back, Kirk Cousins, for example. He has been working with Neurocore since his days in college at Michigan State and recently became the highest paid player in the National Football League. It’s been a long journey for Cousins’ who looks back fondly at his College days, “Coming to Michigan State, I wasn’t the biggest guy, I wasn’t the strongest guy, and coming in there I knew I wouldn’t be showing off to anyone about how much I could lift… But once I made up that ground I still felt that something was missing… I realized that to take my game to the next level, I needed to take control of my mind.”
Cousin’s worked Neurocore Founder Timothy Royer and Neurocore Pro to closely monitor the QB’s heart rate variability and brainwaves. “I would put the breathing belt on and the sensor on my finger to get a heart rate and the EEG feedback. You are then looking at physical numbers about what is taking place with your body and your breathing and your heart-rate and how they are coordinating.” Once the test had been run, Royer was able to show Cousins that his brain was working too hard and he needed to slow things down. Cousins commented on where he needed to be with his profession, “When I pull the reigns back on my brain, my brain will be working at its most optimal level.”
But Neurocore did not just have Cousins’ sit down and watch a screen. On the contrary Neurocore clinicians took the time to explain and to educate Cousins about how and why clinicians were doing what they were doing, and how it will help. This approach to treatment was not a part of Cousins VIP treatment instead all Neurocore client’s are given all the information they need to become take ownership of their training.
Cousins commented on Neurocore’s bright future, “what I am doing with Neurocore, breathing, EEG, monitoring sleep, and monitoring hormone levels, all these things are the next frontier. While it is cutting edge now, I feel that in another 15 or 20 years, every professional sports team and every college sports team will be doing this on a consistent basis because it is going to help their athletes perform at the highest level.”
Neurocore’s Approach to a Better Brain
Training your brain with Neurocore is as easy as watching your favorite T.V. show. Don’t get us wrong, there is some serious data gathering and processing not to mention neuroscience going on in the background at Neurocore. But those undergoing brain training rarely see any off that. For Neurocore clients, they train their brain like they would train for anything. With positive reinforcement & repetition.
Here’s how it works. Neurocore specialized clinicians closely monitor clients brain waves. When the client’s brain is working optimally (calm and focused) it gets a reward. Throughout an average 30-minute session a client might be rewarded up to 3000 times through a process known as neurofeedback. Over time this number will increase as client’s learn to hone their focus. The process is meant to create healthy changes in the brain which lead to lasting solutions. Neurocore Brain Performance Centers have thus far helped thousands of people obtain a happier and healthier life.
Getting to Know Neurocore
Neurocore has been in operation since 2004 although scientist and researcher’s have been using neurofeedback since the 1960’s. Neurocore currently has 8 brain training centers in Michigan and Florida. The Neurocore Brain Performance Center in Boca Raton is the largest brain training room in the world. All of Neurocore’s clinical specialist are licensed or registered and have undergone extensive training under the supervision of BCIA certified staff members. The Biofeedback Certification International Alliance or BCIA is an international organization that sets standards in biofeedback certification, neurofeedback certification, and pelvic muscle dysfunction biofeedback certification.
The services provided by Neurocore are covered by many insurance carriers. Neurocore also offers payment options and scholarship programs.
