Posted by ArielTechGeek 176 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car keys. The approach has great potential for treating cognitive decline due to disease or injury without drugs or surgery.Continue ReadingCategory: Learning & Memory, Brain Health, Body & MindTag
Brain stimulation can make you easier to hypnotize
Posted by ArielTechGeek 480 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A person’s susceptibility to hypnosis has long been considered a pretty static trait. You may be highly hypnotizable, or you may be part of the nearly 25% of people who can’t really be hypnotized at all. A 25-year-long study found hypnotic susceptibility to be a remarkably stable trait. Akin to personality and IQ, regardless of one's life experiences, the trait doesn't really change over time.Con
Magnetic stimulation improves movement & balance 12 years after stroke
Posted by ArielTechGeek 553 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have used repetitive magnetic stimulation on the brain of a man who’d had a cerebellar stroke 12 years ago, improving his walking speed, balance, and coordination. The innovative treatment could help people whose movement has been impaired even years after a stroke.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Brain, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, UCLA
