What Is LENS - Low Energy Neurofeedback?

LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a type of neurofeedback that uses low-energy electromagnetic signals that correspond to the brain’s own activity. The goal of LENS is to gently interrupt rigid or inefficient brainwave patterns so the brain has an opportunity to reorganize and regulate itself more efficiently. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, LENS sessions are typically very brief and do not require active participation or concentration from the client. LENS sessions are offered at Nashville Brain & Wellness in Nashville, Tennessee as part of a personalized brain-wellness approach.

How LENS Supports the Brain

LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a type of neurofeedback developed by Dr. Len Ochs, Ph.D., in 1990. It uses low-intensity electromagnetic signals that correspond to the brain’s own activity. These signals support the brain in shifting out of rigid or inefficient patterns, promoting overall nervous system balance and brain wellness. LENS sessions are typically brief and do not require active participation, making them accessible for individuals of all ages, including children and seniors. This approach is used by practitioners worldwide as part of broader brain wellness programs, with training and education provided through Ochs Labs.

What can LENS Neurofeedback Therapy help support?

LENS addresses various issues related to brain dysregulation. In addition to the ones mentioned below, LENS can also prove effective in alleviating concerns such as headaches/migraines, chronic pain, stroke recovery, symptoms associated with autism and ADHD, fears/phobias, trauma, emotional disturbances, mood disorders, focus issues and brain fog, tantrums, anger, balance, tremors, lack of motivation, and degenerative brain disorders like Parkinson’s and dementia.

LENS supports individuals working through patterns related to substance use, habits, or emotional coping by encouraging more balanced brain and nervous system responses. It supports the brain’s ability to self-regulate and develop more balanced, adaptive patterns.

How Does LENS Work?

During a session, small sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity. The LENS system analyzes this activity and delivers low-intensity signals that mirror the brain’s patterns. These brief, subtle signals can help the brain shift out of stuck or inefficient patterns, supporting more flexible function.

LENS sessions are gentle, typically lasting only a few minutes. The brain responds to the signals naturally, and each session is adjusted according to the individual’s unique brain activity. LENS technology is FDA-cleared and is used by trained practitioners worldwide.

What to Expect During a LENS Session

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable environment designed to help you feel relaxed and at ease. Your practitioner will guide you through the process and answer any questions before beginning the session.

You will be seated comfortably while small sensors are gently placed on the scalp to monitor brain activity. The system then delivers low-intensity signals for a few seconds at each location.

Sessions are painless and typically take 10–20 minutes including setup. Many clients find the experience relaxing and easy to incorporate into their routine. Some individuals begin to notice changes within the first few sessions, while others may benefit from a series of sessions over time.

LENS is offered for individuals of all ages, including young children, and has also been used with animals as part of wellness and nervous system support programs.

Mary M.

“Maureen is incredible. She is deeply invested in the overall well being of her clients and provides a safe, comfortable space. She is such a light and overflows with wisdom and encouragement. LENS has given me a piece of my life back. It's quick, easy, (painless!), and effective. I went far too long running on empty with what felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders. Today, I am a better wife and mother and can once again find joy in the mundane. I am so grateful for Maureen and Nashville Brain + Wellness.”

“As somebody who’s had various mental struggles throughout my adult life, and having a desire to maximize my mental capabilities, Nashville Brain and Wellness has helped me dramatically in that regard! Maureen is a truly caring and passionate professional when it comes to the way she operates and the results she provides with her work! She seeks out the greatest improvement for you and your cognitive abilities throughout her sessions and her care for you as a patient is clearly reflected! I highly recommend paying her a visit if you have a desire to improve and strengthen your mind!”

Erika M.

“Finding Maureen has truly been a blessing for our family. From the very first session, it was clear how deeply compassionate, empathetic, and genuinely caring Maureen is—not just as a practitioner, but as a human being. She has a way of making you feel safe, seen, heard, and understood, which is so important when you’re navigating something as personal and transformative as neurofeedback therapy. For both my son and me, this experience has been nothing short of life-changing. We’ve seen real improvements not just in how we feel, but in how we show up in the world. Maureen approaches each session with such kindness and patience, and her presence alone is healing. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she has poured into our journey. Her work is not only effective, but it’s delivered with heart—and that makes all the difference. I can’t recommend Maureen enough.”

Jizelle R.

“I recently underwent a life-changing experience at the Nashville Brain & Wellness with Maureen O’Sullivan, who specializes in biofeedback and LENS therapy. Referred by my primary care physician, I approached this non-traditional treatment with an open mind, and it has truly transformed my life. From the initial evaluation, Maureen tailored the therapy to my needs. I am now off my medications for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. My panic attacks have ceased, and I no longer suffer from PTSD. I sleep soundly through the night, something I hadn’t experienced in years. Maureen’s expertise in realigning brainwaves has brought me to a place of calm and balance. I urge anyone seeking an alternative approach to mental wellness to consider this. Keeping an open mind and allowing the therapy to work can truly make a difference. I highly recommend giving this treatment a chance.”

Felicia G.

“Lifesaver is an understatement! LENS Neurofeedback has changed my life! I was suffering from childhood ptsd, depression, ADD, anxiety and right before I found Maureen I was spiraling! I was on the verge of losing my husband and kids!!! I drove two hours one way not knowing if neurofeedback would work or even help.. immediately after my first session I felt the elephant come off of my chest! I was no longer anxious! So once a week I made the two hour drive and each week got better and better! I’m no longer the depressed, inpatient, angry pothead mom and wife! For the first time since I’ve had my kids, I have been calm during birthday parties and holidays! I’ve learned to set boundaries with my narcissistic mother and I can see her without feeling like her presence is suffocating me! If it wasn’t for Maureen and neurofeedback I probably wouldn’t be here today to tell my story! I recommend her to everyone I cross paths with! Life is so much better when you have the ability to think clearly and your mind is regulated!!”

Margaret O.

“After seeing such positive results with my kids, I decided to try LENS neurofeedback for myself. Not only did I have head trauma from my past but I also had a lot of emotional trauma. I have done a tremendous amount of cognitive and experiential work but I didn't realize what was still hanging on.....until it started releasing. I completely credit LENS Neurofeedback and Maureen for changing my life. I was able to see where I was still blocked and then simply address it and move forward. I didn't have to relive the trauma! It changed the trajectory of my life by releasing areas of my brain that were still suppressed. I am forever grateful to Maureen and to LENS neurofeedback. It has been such a positive blessing for our family.”

Maureen G.

“Nashville Brain and Wellness has been a lifesaver. Life in general, COVID, and just getting older have some coping issues. I did not want to get on any medication. I am in the medical field but I wanted to get to the source of my anxiety, etc., versus taking a pill. Maureen O' Sullivan, owner of Nashville Brain and Wellness, is my hero. She is an expert in this field of optimizing your brain! My anxiety and my constant worrying issues are so much better. Such a wonderful difference. My memory. which I thought was pretty good before I went is now much improved. I have been in a constant survival mode for most of my life and cannot say enough about how much my life has improved!! Thank you Nashville Brain and Wellness.”

Ashley B.

“Maureen has given my daughter hope and progress towards a better life. Her teachers and her guitar teacher can see the difference. No matter how small or severe your needs are Maureen, can help you.”

Tucker L.

“The combination of high impact sports and frequent falls while skiing were more than common during my young adult life. Luckily a helmet was almost always put to use when a head impact occurred. As I aged I noticed frequent headaches, lack of concentration and fatigue were growing into an almost daily nuisance. Since beginning LENS Neurofeedback Therapy sessions I can feel a noticeable difference in energy, attention span and headaches are seemingly rare. LENS therapy and the care of Maureen has had a life changing impact on me, an impact of which I will continue to explore.”

Greg W.

“LENS changed our lives. During the early part of the pandemic and lock-down, my teenage son had spent far too many hours playing video games and the reward center of his brain was over-firing. He then moved directly into online schooling. His brain was overloaded and he started getting really depressed and anxious. We discovered LENS Neurofeedback and within three sessions we had our son back! After several more sessions he is doing better than ever. We choose monthly LENS to help his brain function at its highest level.”

Beth N.

“After being prescribed more than a dozen medications over 15 years for pain management, depression, and anxiety my mental and physical health had deteriorated to the point where I was barely functioning physically and cognitively (some of the medications had actually caused a type of traumatic brain injury). Prescription medications had caused me serious physical and cognitive impairment and I was determined to find a safer, more effective alternative. I did my research and learned all I could about LENS neurofeedback, and that’s when I found Nashville Brain and Wellness. From the moment I first spoke to Maureen (proprietor) I felt reassured and hopeful. Not only is she an absolute professional, but she cares deeply about each client – no “cookie cutter” treatment plans; everything is individualized. LENS neurofeedback has been life-changing for me! I’m off the medications and both my physical and mental/cognitive abilities are back! I have been re-born!”
