Using electrical fields to simulate slow wave sleep, researchers enhance memory.
Researchers describe using low current electrical stimulation on specific areas of the brain to enhance distinct memories.
A surgeon is using electrical stimulation as part of an advanced surgical technique to treat Bell's palsy. Stimulating the patient's damaged facial nerves with an electrical current helps 'jump start' the nerve in order to restore improved facial movement more quickly.
Low intensity electrical stimulation to specific brain areas can help to improve short term verbal memory, researchers report.
Researchers have developed a new wireless brain stimulation device that could revolutionize the way neurological disorders are treated. The device, called WAND, fine tunes treatments by stimulating and recording electrical currents in the brain at the same time.
A new study reveals frequency plays a key role in neural activation from electrical stimulation.
Researchers report epidural stimulation helped two people with quadriplegia to improve voluntary hand movements.
Epidural stimulation enabled rats with spinal cord injuries to better control their bladders, a new study reports.
Electrocortical stimulation therapy could end the misery of motion sickness, a new study reports.
University of Rochester researchers report low levels of electrical stimulation delivered to areas of the brain responsible for movement can instruct an appropriate response, replacing signals for sensory processing.
Researchers show optogenetics can be as good as, if not better than, using electrical stimulation in neuroscience research.
A new study challenges current understanding of how visual attention is focused, as well as the roles of long and short term memory.
