WHAT IS LENS THERAPY?

LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) developed by Len Ochs, PhD is an FDA approved neurofeedback technique also called EEG Biofeedback. The goal of LENS therapy is to promote self-regulation and relaxation of the central nervous system. Self-regulation of the central nervous system is a necessary part of optimal nervous system function and performance This therapy monitors your own electrical brain activity using the electroencephalogram (EEG) and uses it to gently and naturally improve your brain wave patterns without the use of visual or auditory stimulation allowing your brain to relax and self regulate.

Just as you can determine how well your heart is functioning by analyzing the electrical patterns, called “waves” in an EKG, you can determine how well your brain is functioning by analyzing the electrical patterns of your brain, called “brain waves” with an EEG. The brain is divided into different regions. Ideally, your brain waves should be the same from region to region. However, brain waves in different regions can change as a result of trauma leading to Neurological Dysregulation Syndrome (NDS). NDS is detected when the brain wave patterns are suppressed resulting in waves that are either lower in amplitude or slower in frequency (lower or slower). Sometimes brain waves can be both. LENS uses extremely weak, gentle electrical signals to create the right conditions for your brain to reset itself. Think of these signals as gentle nudges that help your brain recognize where it’s out of balance and allow it to reset to a more optimal pattern restoring the brains ability to relax and self regulate.
