FAQ
No prior neurofeedback experience is required. The Basic Course is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. A background in health, psychology, coaching, or education is helpful but not mandatory.
Both formats cover identical curriculum and lead to the same Zengar® certificate. The in-person course (Athens) includes direct hands-on device practice. The online course is fully live — not pre-recorded — with real-time Q&A.
You receive: an official NeurOptimal® certificate from the Zengar® Institute (ready to print and display in your practice); complete technical training to run sessions confidently; a business guidance toolkit on how to market and grow a profitable practice; access to the global NeurOptimal® practitioner community; and ongoing post-training support including 1-on-1 time with your instructor once you have your device.
If you cancel at least 7 days before the course you receive a full refund minus a €150 administrative fee. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable. If Brainiacs cancels or reschedules, you receive a full refund or priority rebooking.
No — you do not need to own a system to take the course. Many participants complete the certification first and then purchase or rent a device afterwards. If you attend without a device, we are happy to offer 1-on-1 follow-up time once you get your system, to refresh you on all functions and ensure you are confident to start offering sessions.

NeurOptimal® measures your brain's activity 256 times per second and provides real-time feedback via subtle audio interruptions. Think of it like looking at yourself in a mirror and self-correcting — your brain receives information about its own activity and naturally learns to run more efficiently. No protocols, no pushing the brain in any direction.
NeurOptimal® is 100% safe and non-invasive. It does not push the brain in any direction — it simply provides information and your brain decides what to do with it. Because it works with your brain's own natural processes, it does not create side effects.
The science community now recognises the non-linear dynamical nature of the brain and is moving away from linear (QEEG) protocol-based approaches that train towards an "average" brain. NeurOptimal® treats each person as unique — through real-time feedback, your brain optimises itself. No diagnosis, no protocol required.
Very easy. Most people are running sessions within 10–15 minutes of first sitting down with the equipment. The Basic Course covers everything: sensor placement, Zinnia software, troubleshooting, and dual monitors. We also offer 1-on-1 follow-up once you have your own device.
