Neuroactive was formed in 1991 by Jarkko Tuohimaa, Ville Brusi, and Vesa Rainne. Signing their first album, Morphology, in 1994 with Cyberware Productions, the group went on to produce Phonic Trace in 1997. Shortly thereafter, Brusi and Rainne left the group and Kimmo Karjalainen came on board to sing for two albums (Fiber Optic Rhythm, Transients). Following Kimmo's departure Jarkko has been working with various guest vocalists.
Neuroactive signed with A Different Drum in 1998, and continues to release material under that label.

Neuroactive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Giving in is not the game I play
Visions shine for me, shining brightly
Giving light so I can see the way
I feel so insecure
My future's so unsure
Believe me
There's something wrong when no-one hears you cry...
Visualise, utilise
The dreams you hold inside
Visualise, utilise
The dreams we hold inside
The moment's leading me out of darkness
The anger cannot turn my joy to pain
I'm reaching out for now
Only to wonder
If old and new were simply just the same
Visualise, utilise
The dreams you hold inside
Visualise, utilise
The dreams we hold inside
The lyrics of Neuroactive's song 'Visualise' talk about the struggle to overcome confusion and insecurity while holding on to dreams and visions for the future.
