The
following services are available to train children and adults to
maximize/restore each individual's brain function, in a manor
tailored to the needs of each unique
brain.
Neurofeedback We use primarily the LENS, Low Energy
Neurofeedback System,
which provides feedback to the brain in
the form of an extremely weak electromagnetic field. Although the
feedback signal is weak, it results in a measurable change in the
brainwaves, all without conscious effort on the part
of the individual receiving the feedback.
The unique LENS
neurofeedback protocol creates a highly personalized and detailed
plan that accelerates the training process. This includes a
LENS Brain Map. The brain is mapped often throughout the
training process. The brain map shows a full 2-D color image
of the brain that reflects the training progress, updates the
training plan and helps to determine and document progress.
During the session, the trainee sits in a comfortable chair,
typically for about 45 minutes. The Neurofeedback
Practitioner places an EEG (electroencephalograph) lead at different
spots on the trainee’s head using a conductive gel and engages the
trainee in interesting conversation. A computer that is
connected to the EEG encoder analyzes the brainwave signal in real
time and signals the encoder to produce feedback that precisely
tracks, and is offset from, the brain’s own signal at that point in
time. It is almost as though the brain experiences itself
looking back at itself, and in the process adjust its own behavior
patterns.
The procedure is completely painless and results are often
noticed immediately.
The result of this training is a changed
brainwave state and greater ability for the brain to regulate itself
for higher, more flexible
functioning.
NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, was developed by
Richard Bandler and John Grinder as a result of their efforts to
model excellence. It utilizes techniques from Milton Erickson,
Gregory Bateson and Virginia Satir, each of whom excelled in their
specialty. It formed the foundation for much of Tony Robbin's
work. It is especially useful in dealing with the effects of
past trauma, eliminating phobias or changing long-standing
undesirable habits.
Photonic Stimulator
The Photonic Stimulator utilizes near infrared
(NIR) wavelengths of light from a high power array of light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) to stimulate the mitochondria and temporarily
block excessive activity from the sympathetic nervous
system. The long wavelength rays penetrate deep into the
tissue and generate a soothing and calming effect.
Clients often experience rapid and significant
reduction in inflammation and pain. See the
paper on the Photonic
Stimulator by Dr. Len Ochs.
Presentations Members of our staff will often offer presentations to
groups with specific interests in order to help familiarize those
potentially interested in our services, as well as professionals
whose patients may benefit from a much more rapid recovery when
done in parallel with their treatment. Please call to discuss
arranging a presentation specific to your group.
Courses We
also offer courses to other professionals who want more
in-depth knowledge about Neurofeedback, and practical hands-on
training for those who may want to incorporate it directly into
their practice.
Technical
Support
Technical support services are available to LENS clinicians and
to individuals who are using the LENS home training
system. Please check out the details at our Support page. |
