What is LENS Neurofeedback?

   

Neuroscientists believe the brain’s response to trauma and stressors can result in a sort of neural gridlock. This gridlock creates dysfunctional and inefficient patterns that can disrupt emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning. The LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System), attempts to disrupt these patterns and activate the brain's own capacity for self-healing and self-regulation. LENS is an advanced neurofeedback technique designed to support natural healing and brain optimization by gently guiding the brain toward healthier functioning.

​

​​​​​​​​​How LENS Works:

   

LENS neurofeedback begins with a client interview and an assessment focusing on the client's concerns or symptoms, as well as life events and responses to those events. This information helps guide decisions regarding protocol selection. LENS is a unique, non-invasive neurofeedback method that uses low-energy signals to gently stimulate the brain, Unlike traditional neurofeedback, LENS doesn’t require clients to concentrate on real-time feedback displays. Instead, LENS works by encouraging the brain to reorganize itself through brief, targeted signals that disrupt problematic brainwave patterns. This "reset" effect can create a shift toward balanced, healthy brainwave activity. During a LENS session, sensors are gently placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave activity. Then a low-energy feedback signal tailored to the client’s specific brainwave patterns, is delivered. This feedback guides the brain toward healthier, more balanced activity. Many clients experience positive changes in mood, focus, and stress levels after just a few sessions, while others notice gradual improvement over time. As self-regulation occurs, symptoms resulting from central nervous system dysfunction tend to improve​​.
