A new bimodal neuromodulation device that stimulates both the ear and tongue reduces the severity of tinnitus in patients for up to a year. Read More
Spinal cord stimulation significantly decreased pain and reduced motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, both as a singular therapy and for those who deep brain stimulation proved ineffective. Read More
Non-invasive brain stimulation technology may enhance the human system's ability for rapid and adaptive decision making. Read More
Non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) applied over the auditory cortex had a pronounced beneficial effect on those with dyslexia. Read More
Transcranial vagus nerve stimulation could significantly improve a person's ability to learn the sounds of a new language. The non-invasive stimulation technique could have positive implications for boosting other types of learning also. Read More
Researchers reduced the power requirements of neural interfaces while improving their accuracy by tuning into a subset of brain waves. Read More
The strength of a person's mental imagery is associated with excitability in the prefrontal cortex and visual cortex. Highly excitable neurons in the visual cortex may reduce a person's ability to imagine mental images. The findings shed light on how aphantasia, a condition where a person can not imaging mental images, may occur. Read More
A new, non-invasive wearable magnetic device stimulates the brain to rewire itself is safe to use and could help improve recovery for stroke survivors. Read More
Optogenetic stimulation of the motor cortex causes marmosets to move their forelimbs in an almost puppet-like fashion. Read More
Targeted transcranial electrical stimulation during short-wave sleep can boost episodic memory by almost 20%. Read More
Neurostimulation implants used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy also help to reduce mental health symptoms in patients. Read More
A new, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment shows promise in enhancing memories and cognitive function in those with Alzheimer's disease. Transcranial electromagnetic treatment (TEMT) increases functional connectivity within the cingulate cortex. TEMT is also able to penetrate the brain to break up amyloid-beta and tau deposits, slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
