Stimulation of the nervous system with neurotechnology has opened up new avenues for treating human disorders, such as prosthetic arms and legs that restore the sense of touch in amputees, prosthetic ...

Glass patterns have long served as a paradigmatic tool for unravelling the mechanisms underlying visual form perception and the integration of motion cues. These intricate stimuli, composed of ...

For most adults who lose their vision, blindness results from damage to the eyes or optic nerve while the brain remains intact. For decades, researchers have proposed developing a device that could ...

Bilateral stimulation is the use of visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli occurring in a rhythmic side-to-side pattern. It is a core element of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ...

A new study has demonstrated that the brains of people who experience migraines and other types of headaches cannot modulate visual stimulation in the same way a person without these conditions can.

Researchers at Boston University, USA report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal ...

A US-based research team has successfully demonstrated how dynamic stimulation of the visual cortex enables blind and sighted people to “see” shapes – a technique that could one day be used to convey ...
