The LENS is a specific kind of Neurofeedback that operates much more rapidly that traditional Neurofeedback and has qualities that make it much easier to use with people who can’t sit still.  With the LENS, the client doesn’t need to “do” anything, and there is nothing to learn.  The typical session with the LENS lasts 3-4 minutes.  This means that the LENS works well for people who either cannot or will not pay attention to a computer screen for longer time periods.  Additionally, the LENS works much faster than traditional Neurofeedback with the number of sessions ranging from as few as 1 to an overall average number of sessions of 20.

The LENS works well with problems of the Central Nervous System, which can be numerous.  These include symptoms of anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, behavior disorders,  various sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. It is also useful for organic brain conditions such as seizures, the autism spectrum, and cerebral palsy.  These are all signs of Central Nervous System dysfunction which result in the body’s difficulty regulating itself. 

​

What conditions does the LENS help with?

• Cognition - Problems sequencing, memory, providing and maintaining attention, concentration, clarity and organization.

• Mood - Anger, sadness, explosiveness.

• Motor - Lack of grace, problems of eye-hand coordination, balance, increased muscle tone (from spasticity) and tremor.

• Motivation - Problems initiating tasks, shifting from one activity to another, and/or completing tasks.

• Anxiety - Problems of anxiety system activity (too much uncomfortably-contained energy), persistent "anxiety", restlessness, rumination, agitation, distractibility, difficulty breathing, palpitations, tremor exacerbation, and sleep interruption.

• Reactivity - Hyper-reactivity, hypersensitivity, multiple chemical sensitivities.

• Pain - Brain-generated pain (mismapping the origins and qualities of signals), and vascular pain.

• Addictions/Dependencies - Lack of clarity about emotions and self-comforting, defensiveness, argumentativeness and cynicism.

• Fatigue - Fatigue; or fatigue as a phenomenon secondary to the effort of trying to overcome the pain and/or the above impediment to functioning more easily.

• Performance Optimization - Increases in functioning in the above areas in absence of any diagnosis.
