There are so many features of Zengar NeuroCARE® neurofeedback software that describing them adequately- including their value to you as a practitioner, is a daunting task. We have aimed here to present a non-technical discussion of the most major features.

• Zengar NeuroCARE® is an Information-Based Technology
The most over-arching feature of Zengar NeuroCARE® is that it has been designed from the ground up to work with the brain as a non-linear dynamical system. As the brain is itself a non-linear system, interacting with it in a non-linear dynamical way is a perfect match. The importance of this from a clinical perspective is that, the older task of diagnosis and treatment planning shifts to most elegantly exposing the brain to the informational events which it can use to reorganize itself. Presented with the right information, the brain is able to effortlessly release a broad array of symptoms. This has important implications for the practitioner’s role, which becomes one of sharing a journey with the client in which the nature of the information evolves moment by moment.

• Incredible Ease of Use
Although non-linear dynamical theory and its application can be complex and involved, Zengar NeuroCARE® is incredibly simple to operate. All you do is move through a sequence pre-defined steps from a dropdown menu, and adjust the level of difficulty. You can trust the software to do the work. You can be running clients rather than acquiring a cryptic knowledge base. Should you choose not to work in this automated way however, you can still work manually as you see fit. Zengar NeuroCARE® is packed with hundreds of features and options so that pretty well anything any other system can do, you can do in some way with Zengar NeuroCARE®.

• The Elegance of working with Instabilities
Zengar NeuroCARE® works with brain instabilities, not amplitudes. As the brain starts to move into instability in a particular frequency range, the music goes off and the image changes. The brain immediately brings itself “back to the present”, the instability curtailing. Over time, these instabilities drop away, resulting in increased flexibility and resilience. Because we work with instabilities, muscle movement and other sources of “artifact” are less of a problem than when running regular systems.

• Permissive Non-Directive Healing Stance
We don’t "push” the brain. Zengar NeuroCARE® provides information to the client’s brain about its own activity— that is all. The brain then does its own reorganizing. In no instance is the brain encouraged or directed to go in any particular direction. While the effects of training are very powerful, one of the consequences of this permissive, comprehensive approach is also a very low incidence of side effects. While it is true you can sometimes get dramatic effects by pushing the system in a particular way as other neurofeedback systems do, it is equally probable (or more so) that you can propel the brain into a de-stabilized state resulting in pronounced unwanted symptoms. NeuroCARE® is designed differently. Simply giving the brain information rather than telling it what to do results in powerful shifts in a positive direction for the client, gently and easily.

• Effortless Client Engagement
Clients watch an engaging display of real-time fractal imaging — the colorful display never repeating — and listen to your choice of CD or music saved on your hard drive. Included with the software is music especially composed by a multi-Grammy award-winning musician to support Zengar NeuroCARE®. If you prefer, you can also create new original combinations of image and music. Your client can watch movies, or you can import AVIs from the web to create your own.

• Real-time JTFA
Zengar NeuroCARE® works with real-time Joint Time Frequency Analysis (JTFA in a particular way that accurately and precisely captures the event-structure of EEG). This is state of the art and no other neurofeedback system has this capability.

• Precision unmatched in the field
Zengar NeuroCARE®’s sampling rate of 256 samples per second is coupled with incredible precision of filtering, targeting and triggering of feedback. Other neurofeedback systems’ data looks “smeared” in comparison when viewed through the eagle eye of Zengar NeuroCARE®.

• True Dynamical Thresholding
Dynamical thresholding releases clients “points of stuckness” allowing unprecedented possibilities for client change. What this means practically is two important things. The first is that the software works with the client where they are at that moment. When they get tired, Zengar NeuroCARE® also shifts and works at the new current level dictated by the client’s own brain. Partly because of this it
is difficult to over-train, and we get very few side effects with our clients. Yet despite this safety, the fractionating that occurs as a result of the dynamical targeting procedures is a powerful stimulus for re-organization, allowing unprecedented yet safe, client shifts.

• Adjust filter bandwidths on the fly
Should you choose to do so, you can adjust filter bandwidths (the frequencies you work with) on the fly, with no disturbance to ongoing feedback. The client will be unaware that you are shifting from one set of targets to a different set— they will have to adjust seamlessly to the change in demand. Our default way of working moves through such changes invisibly and automatically.

• Information-Rich Matrix for the Brain
We work with 16 different targets (filter sets) simultaneously. This means broad-based client transformation across the board— no chipping away at client challenges with a limited toolbox like with other neurofeedback systems. The high-precision technology under the hood gives you flexible options while taking you assuredly into the future.

• No Diagnosis or pre-evaluation
The software works moment by moment with where the client is, regardless of any diagnostic classification. You can give your client more neurofeedback training for the same money without having to resort to expensive diagnostics that don’t directly contribute to the client’s well-being or satisfaction. We dance with the brain in a non-linear journey of seamless transformation in which the client’s whole life re-awakens.
