This manual and our Tutorial Video Library (located in the Tools menu within NeurOptimal®)
both provide you with all the information you need to run effective Client Sessions. While this
is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what is available to you in NeurOptimal®, it is all you
NEED to know to set the stage for effective Client change. When you are ready to learn more
you can explore the following resources.

NOTE:
If you are seeing Clients
you will likely want to
hook up a conveniently
positioned “Client
Monitor”. This is what the
Client will watch during
their Session. Monitors
are included with the
Professional Bundles.
Closing eyes, reading,
doing homework or
tending to emails are other
popular activities people
like to do while enjoying a
Session.
Switch on the monitor
by pressing the Power
Button, make sure the
blue light goes on.

TIP: For ease of use, we highly recommend using a
keyboard/trackpad with your NeurOptimal®tablet if you plan
to use an external monitor with it. You can gain access to your
monitor by moving the mouse pointer all the way to the right
(and off) of your tablet screen. The mouse pointer will then
appear on the Client monitor. To bring the mouse pointer
back to the tablet screen, move the mouse all the way to the
left of the Client monitor.
NOTE: Your system has been configured to
boot into dual monitor (“extended desktop”) mode
so your Client can see their own screen. These
instructions are included only in case you have to
reset it.
Tap “Project”
Select
“Extend”
Power up your NeurOptimal®system. If
you see the NeurOptimal®wallpaper on
the Client monitor you can continue to
the next section. If not, tap the “Action
Center” icon at the bottom right of your
screen and continue with Step 2
Repeatedly press the “input select”
button (to the left of the power
button) until HDMI is selected

Your system must be connected to the Internet in order to launch NeurOptimal®, so please
do connect it to your Wi-Fi. There is a seven day grace period should you be in a place that
does not have an Internet connection. We recommend using your cellular phone as a hot
spot if you are out of Internet range for more than seven days.

Putting On the Sensors
Before starting,
have the following
items handy-
paste, tissues and/
or babywipes
We’ll first hook up the
right side. Squeeze open
the right blue clip
Find the zAmp
and separate
the right and
left sensors
Place the zAmp in a comfortable spot.
Hooked onto the front or back of a
shirt or the chair is common. Drape
the left and right side sensors over the
corresponding shoulders.

PART
Scoop or squeeze paste onto sensors
so the paste resembles an ice cream
scoop on both sides, without touching
the paste with your fingers
Apply paste in the
same way to the
black sensor clip,
and gently squeeze
onto the ear lobe.
No need to remove
earrings, just make
sure the paste is not
touching them. It
is ok to adjust clip
positioning to work
around them
Squeeze the clip
onto the top of the
right ear (some
paste should ooze
out, forming
a ring)

If you slide your fingers over
the scalp at the halfway point
between the top of the ear and
the top of the head, you will feel
a bump with a dip right above it
Pick up the yellow
sensor and fill it
with an ice cream
scoopful of paste
(be generous)
Cleanly part the hair
exposing the scalp
and press the sensor
down firmly so a ring
of paste forms. A
good way to know it is
attached correctly is
if it feels cool on the
scalp
and place the
yellow sensor on the
left side of the head
(mirroring what you
did on the right)
Find the dip above
the midpoint
between the top of
the ear and the top
of the head on the
left side
That dip is your
spot. If you can’t
find a bump/dip,
apply the sensor to
the halfway point
between the top of
the ear and the top
of the head
Now hook up the
left side similarly,
attaching the blue
clip to the top of
the ear (the same
way you did on the
right side)
Well done! You are
now ready to start
your Session
