New neurostimulation technology works safely and non-invasively to modify brain activity. The findings may provide some foundational knowledge for the development of future technologies that could expedite cognitive processes.
Neurostimulation implants used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy also help to reduce mental health symptoms in patients.
Responsive neurostimulation can remodel neural networks, leaving the brain less susceptible to epileptic seizures.
A study of macaque monkeys reveals low-intensity ultrasound can both generate and suppress signalling in the brain and modulate normal function. The ultrasonic stimulation alters counterfactual thinking, allowing the ability to decide upon a better alternative in decision-making tasks.
Transcranial alternating current brain stimulation (tACS) significantly reduced symptoms in people diagnosed with major depressive disorder in a pilot clinical trial.
A new device that combines brain stimulation with EEG recordings could help to restore brain function in those suffering neurological disorders.
A new spinal stimulator shows promise in helping those with spinal cord injuries to regain some movement and strength in their hands.
A new electronic neural bypass device allows a paralyzed man to move his fingers and hand.
