What is LENS Neurofeedback?

LENS Neurofeedback, short for Low Energy Neurofeedback System, is a type of brain optimization that uses microscopically low-strength electromagnetic signals to inform the brain and function more efficiently. It works by placing small sensors on the scalp or body to detect electrical activity, and then sending a tiny signal — much weaker than what a cellphone emits — back to the skin. This feedback does not force the brain to do anything specific, but rather gently prompts it to adjust itself by showing it it’s current activity. Much like a mirror informs you of your current appearance, often leading you to change something minor, like a stray hair out of place, to optimize your appearance. LENS models the same concept on a neurological level to your real-time brain activity, giving it the information it needs to optimize itself. Over time, this can help your brain get out of inefficient or “stuck” patterns.

LENS Neurofeedback does not work off of a diagnostic model, though is used to help with issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, brain fog, migraines, and even the effects of concussions. Any symptom that a person might experience that is related to an underlying neurological problem can be helped by the LENS. This includes focus and attention issues, pain, inflammation, limited range of mobility, memory problems, tics, impulsivity, and fatigue.

Sessions are typically short — sometimes just a few minutes — and the process is non-invasive, painless, and passive. By encouraging the brain to self-correct, you can experience better focus, mood stability, sleep, and mental clarity without the need to consciously do anything during the session. Most people find LENS to be very relaxing, helping to soothe the central nervous system and stabilize your mood.
