Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about LENS Neurofeedback and working with Sunstone.
What is LENS Neurofeedback?
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a gentle, noninvasive form of neurofeedback designed to support the brain's natural ability to regulate, adapt, and function more efficiently. Using small sensors placed on the scalp or body, LENS measures electrical activity and provides brief, low-energy feedback. The goal is to encourage greater nervous system balance, resilience, and well-being.
What does a session feel like?
LENS sessions are gentle, relaxing, and require no conscious effort. Small adhesive sensors are placed on your scalp or body. The feedback itself is generally not felt but has been described as feeling “energy moving” or “buzzing.”
Some people experience a sense of calm, relaxation, sleepiness, improved mood, increased alertness and energy, or changes in sensory perception during or immediately following LENS. Others may not notice immediate changes. Everyone responds differently, and changes may also become noticeable in the days following a session.
How many sessions will I need?
Every nervous system is unique, so the number of sessions depends on your symptoms, sensitivity, and response to LENS.
Individuals with symptoms that began suddenly, such as following a concussion or injury, may require approximately 2–8 sessions. Longer-standing patterns may require 12–15 sessions or more. All sessions are dosed once or twice per week and it is recommended to have a minimum commitment of 10 sessions to allow time and traction in the nervous system to sustain changes. Please note that children typically sustain changes much faster than adults.
Some people notice changes within their first few sessions, while others experience more gradual progress. These timeframes are practitioner estimates, not guaranteed outcomes. The number of sessions and results vary from person to person.
