  • What is LENS Neurofeedback?
    LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) Neurofeedback is the most afforable, efficient and effective neurofeedback system on the market. On average, in just 10 to 12 sessions our clients see lasting results. LENS takes an EEG (electroencephalogram) with an electrode on the scalp and mimics the dominan t frequency it finds at each of the 21 sites and then sends that mimiced frequency with an offset back to the brain to gently move the dominant frequency to a more effiecent spot. One way to explain this process is to think about how your car radio works. When you get into your car and the radio is tuned to 88.1 (any station will work), there is a radio tower somewhere sending a frequency tuned to 88.1 through the air and your car's radio is set to receive that 88.1 frequency and you can enjoy your music the way it was intended to be played without much effort or energy. If a new song came on you could learn that new song rather quickly. Imagine if your radio was tuned to 88.0. What would happen? There would be a lot of static. Now, assume you could only hear 75% of the music. You could still enjoy the music but it would take a lot more effort and energy and it would become annoying. If a new song came on, it would take a lot more time to learn the song because of the static. So, the closer we get the radio station to the intended 88.1 frequency, the clearer and easier we can enjoy our music. LENS neurofeedback works the same way. The closer we can get the brain's dominant frequency back to its intended place, the clearer and more efficient the brain will operate and our clients can function as designed. We believe A Harmonized Brain Equals a Harmonized Life.
  • Does LENS Neurofeedback hurt?
    There is no pain or discomfort with LENS Neurofeedback. We mimic a brain wave (a dominiant frequency) like a radio wave and the energy we use is about 10,000 times less intense than using a cell phone. Occasionally, someone may feel a little “buzzing”. However, it doesn’t last for more than a few seconds and we can stop at any time if it is uncomfortable. Also, some people will feel an energy wave move throughout their head and body, but most clients do not feel anything.
  • How many sessions?
    We recommend 10 to 12 sessions on a weekly basis for most clients. Sometimes, clients see their results sooner than 12 sessions and sometimes it takes more sessions. We are always monitoring results from our mappings, but we also monitor YOUR results. So, it is critical that our clients tell us what is going on and how changes are taking place.
  • How Does LENS Neurofeedback Work?
    LENS Neurofeedback uses sensors placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity. This data is processed by a computer, which then sends back a tiny, imperceptible signal. This signal encourages the brain to break free from old patterns and create new, more optimal ways of functioning.
  • Who Can Benefit from LENS Neurofeedback
    People of all ages and walks of life can benefit from LENS Neurofeedback. It's particularly effective for those experiencing mental fog, anxiety, depression, stress, sleep disorders, and various neurological conditions.
