Information about LENS:
LENS Neurofeedback treatment is a safe and gentle stress reduction modality which can improve cognitive and emotional functionality. Through an EEG device the LENS software measures brain wave activity at certain sites on the head through sensors, and a feedback signal is emitted back to the brain, allowing the brain to reorganize itself. It is FDA approved as a biofeedback device for relaxation, muscle re-education and stress reduction. It does not treat any specific disease or diagnosis. It may help in the reduction of symptoms associated with many mental and physical disorders like ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Depression, Panic Attacks, Parkinson’s Disease, OCD, Traumatic Brain Injuries (any fall or impact which targets the head), and more.

LENS has been a miracle for me!! I regained use of my leftside, vision, and arm leg. I also noticed a calmness. However my last of treatments I was noticing I was feeling revved up and watching your other video answered what I was dealing with. I’ll need to ask my therapist about feet!

[@NeurotritionClinicPuyallup]

Incredible, that is fantastic you've regained so much functionality! Variables that providers may adjust depending on the person they are working with are: 1) How many sites per session 2) 1 sensor or 2 sensors 3) Seconds per application 4) Amount of feedback (1% up to 100%) per second 5) Amount of offset 6) Placement of sensors (whether on the feet or head) as the further away from the head, typically the gentler the application. The biggest thing is for the person receiving feedback to report to their provider what they experienced the 1-2 days post session with regards to any potential temporary side effects (abnormally tired, anxious, irritable) so treatment can be adjusted.
