Understanding LENS
What is LENS, and why is it so different from what people expect?
LENS stands for Low Energy Neurofeedback System. It is a gentle, non invasive approach that reads your brain's own electrical activity and reflects a very faint signal back, giving the brain the information it needs to move out of a stuck pattern.
The essentials
Four things worth knowing
Extremely low intensity
The signal is a tiny fraction of what your mobile phone emits, and you are unlikely to feel it at all.
Nothing to concentrate on
Unlike traditional neurofeedback, there are no games, screens or exercises. You simply sit still.
Brief by design
Signal time is measured in seconds. Most visits, including the conversation, take 10 to 20 minutes.
Guided by your own activity
The feedback is drawn from the pattern your brain is producing that day, so it adapts as you change.
In practice
A quiet conversation, then a few seconds of feedback
We place small sensors on your scalp, one or two areas at a time. The system measures what your brain is doing, then returns a faint signal matched to that activity. Your brain notices the mismatch between the pattern it is running and the information it receives, and tends to reorganise towards something more comfortable.
Because the brain is doing the work, changes often continue quietly between visits. That is also why we keep sessions short and review how you feel before each one, rather than following a fixed script.
