Perfect in Flow State – Brainboost Performance

Performance: Complete daily tasks and projects faster, with higher quality and less fatigue.

To utilize the full potential of our brain, we at brainboost try out different approaches and strategies to achieve an increase in mental performance.

NeuroSmart Working is an approach based on the biochemical and neurophysiological processes in our brain. The goal is to achieve greater brain efficiency.

We work most efficiently, often referred to as flow, when the brain can operate in a similar activity (= neurostate) for a longer period of time without distraction. Within a neurostate, there can also be significant differences in the coordination of individual cells and networks.

The NeuroStates

For best performance, the following NeuroStates are important: Alpha | Beta | Gamma

In the alpha state, the brain operates with energy efficiency and economy. The focus of attention is broad, allowing input to be perceived from many directions. In this state, simple tasks can be completed while the majority of brain cells are in a regenerative resting state. Creative-associative tasks that don't follow a predetermined path also benefit from the brain's openness.

In the beta state, the brain is in a state of concentration that blocks out unnecessary distractions. This allows for efficient processing of tasks with moderate cognitive demands. The different areas of the brain exchange information at a reasonable rate without causing excessive activity or stress.

In the gamma state, the brain focuses maximally on individual tasks and blocks out the entire environment. Peak cognitive performance is possible in this state, especially with linear, clearly defined tasks. This state requires a lot of energy, which is why targeted use and optimal utilization are essential.

Two levers for optimizing mental performance

STATE optimization: Your brain should master the various neurostates as efficiently as possible to avoid unnecessary energy waste in maintaining the state.

CHANGE optimization: On the one hand, your brain shouldn't be forced to switch from one state to another too frequently throughout the day. On the other hand, the states should alternate sensibly.

Training the NeuroStates

An objective training method for our brain is neurofeedback .  

With neurofeedback, you can train the neurostates and thus the networks in your brain like you would train a muscle in the gym. Neurofeedback is also used by elite athletes to improve mental performance.

Neurofeedback has numerous advantages over other mental training strategies. We have been using it for years in medicine to treat a wide variety of symptoms, such as ADHD and depression. Therefore, the move to performance training makes perfect sense.

In healthy individuals, training can unlock the brain's full potential. Neurofeedback provides objective, real-time feedback. You'll be shown your brain's current state at any given time.

Your neurofeedback training is sustainable. Once trained and learned, your brain will retain its improved, optimal functioning.

brainboost Performance

brainboost has developed a unique training program for peak mental performance specifically for consultants and executives. We've completely dismantled our training program for elite athletes and tailored it to your needs. The result is a program that will help you acquire the mindset and mental strength of a champion.

Performance training will make you mentally fit and help you tap into previously untapped potential. You'll receive neurofeedback exercises at the highest technical and scientific levels. Additionally, you'll also train your physical reactions using biofeedback and learn how to interpret and control them. Our workbook will accompany you on your path to peak performance, consolidating and deepening the content you've learned.
