It is now public knowledge that the LENS system, developed by Ochs Labs, is using the Atlantis amplifier as a component.  This will explain some of the technical aspects of this development.

Ochs Labs is using the Atlantis hardware, along with support software, as a component in their LENS system.  Ochs Labs adds additional components including software, sensors, cables, documentation, training, etc., to provide their complete system.  This means that Ochs Labs is the sole provider of the LENS system, and that the Atlantis components are considered as only a part of the system.  The Atlantis amplifier used by Ochs Labs is the standard Atlantis amplifier.  It is possible, via the addition of the Ochs Labs components, to use any Atlantis amplifier in a LENS system.

No changes have been made to the Atlantis hardware that is provided to Ochs Labs for their use.  The specific components provided by Ochs Labs include their PC software for data collection, EEG analysis,  training protocols, and the abovementioned items.

In all Atlantis applications, including the LENS system, there are no electrical signals produced, that are not normal for the EEG amplifier.  The Atlantis amplifier has been fully tested by an FDA certified laboratory to the standards required for clinical EEG instruments.  The Atlantis hardware meets all applicable electromagnetic safety and emissions standards prescribed by the FDA, the AAMI, and the FCC.  It meets or exceeds requirements including AAMI and IEC60601-2, and is registered both in the US and via the CE mark.

The special functionality provided by the LENS system is associated with the additional components provided by Ochs Labs.  The exact information channel operating in the LENS system to produce learning is not entirely clear.  However, the effectiveness of the LENS system does not imply the presence of any unusual, hazardous, noncompliant, or special signals that are conveyed via the EEG leadwires.
