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.
