Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS)

The Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) is an EEG-based, direct neurofeedback system designed to stimulate the brain and facilitate optimal performance by addressing neural blockages. LENS is believed to work around the brain’s defenses against stressors and trauma, allowing it to “reboot” and restore optimal functioning in its own electromagnetic language.

LENS therapy is versatile and can benefit individuals of any age dealing with a range of neurological, mental health, and performance issues. Clinical studies and the experiences of over 75,000 individuals treated with LENS suggest its effectiveness. LENS emphasizes addressing underlying functional problems rather than specific diagnoses.

Here’s a breakdown of the areas of applicability and associated underlying functional problems mentioned:

• Cognition:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • ADD
    • TBI
    • Autism
    • Asperger’s
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Problems with sequencing
    • Problems with memory
    • Problems withattention
    • Problems with concentration
    • Problems with clarity
    • Problems with organization.
      
      
• Mood:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Depression
    • Prolonged or incomplete grieving
    • Explosive disorder
    • Bi-polar
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Anger

    • Explosiveness
      
      
• Motor:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Paralysis, spasticity
    • Clumsiness
    • Progressive diseases (Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s, MS)
    • Stroke
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Lack of grace
    • ssues with hand-eye coordination
    • Balance issues
    • Increased muscle tone (from spasticity)
    • Tremors
      
      
• Motivation:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Depression
    • Lack of motivation
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Problems initiating tasks
    • Shifting between activities and/or completing tasks.
      
      
• Anxiety:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Anxiety
    • ADD
    • ADHD
    • Anxiety attacks
    • PTSD
    • Panic attacks
    • Dissociative problems
    • Sleep disorders
    • OCD
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Issues related to anxiety system activity, such as persistent anxious feelings, restlessness, rumination, agitation, irritability, distractibility, difficulty breathing, palpitations, tremor exacerbation, sleep interruption.
      
      
• Reactivity:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Personality disorders
    • Borderline
    • Seizures (epileptiform and non-clinical)
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Hyperactivity
    • Hypersensitivity
    • Multiple chemical sensitivities.
      
      
• Pain:
  • Diagnostic Area:
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Migraines
  • Underlying Functional Problems:
    • Brain-generated pain (mismapping the origins and qualities of the signals)
    • Vascular pain.
      
      

LENS may be utilized as a primary treatment approach or as an adjunct to other therapies, and it has shown benefits across different age groups and even animals. The focus on addressing underlying functional problems rather than relying solely on diagnoses is a distinctive feature of the LENS approach.

LENS is also recommended for enhancing general functioning, athletic performance, clarity of thinking, energy levels, motivation, and focus. It can complement progress in therapy, meditation, or spiritual practices. Notably, individuals with traumatic brain injuries have reported quick and lasting relief from symptoms through LENS therapy
