Bilateral sound is a type of bilateral stimulation used in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing in the same manner as eye movement. It has been reported to enhance visualization and hypnosis, but this has received little attention in research.
Bilateral stimulation is a generalization of the left and right repetitive eye movement technique first used by Shapiro. Alternative stimuli include auditory stimuli that alternate between left and right speakers or headphones and physical stimuli such as tapping of the therapist's hands or tapping devices.
Self-stimulatory behavior, also known as "stimming" [1] and self-stimulation, [2] is the repetition of physical movements, sounds, words, moving objects, or other behaviors. Stimming is a type of restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB). [ 3 ]
Brainwave entrainment, also referred to as brainwave synchronization or neural entrainment, refers to the observation that brainwaves (large-scale electrical oscillations in the brain) will naturally synchronize to the rhythm of periodic external stimuli, such as flickering lights, [1] speech, [2] music, [3] or tactile stimuli.
Therefore, rhythmic components in music therapy might explain why music therapy can benefit non-fluent aphasic patients. One example is the left-hand tapping used in Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT). Since this technique also serves as a way to stimulate the right hemisphere, Schlaug et al. [ 7 ] speculate that left-hand tapping may favor ...
Vibroacoustic devices come in a range of forms including beds, [8] [9] [10] chairs, [11] [12] pillows, [13] mats, [14] [15] wristbands, [16] wearable backpacks, [17] and simple DIY platforms. [18] They generally function by playing sound files through transducers, bass shakers, or exciters which then transfer the vibrations into the body. Some ...
The patient missed most of the left hemitongue stimuli on bilateral stimulation, or less frequently wrongly attributed to them the quality of the concurrent right stimulus. Combinations of taste and mechanical stimuli showed an interference of left side stimuli on the perception of right stimuli, suggesting a complex alteration of the central ...
They showed that by using an alternate current along with random amplitude and frequency (between 0.1 and 640 Hz) in healthy subjects, the motor cortex excitability increased (i.e. increased amplitude of motor evoked potentials) for up to 60 minutes after 10 minutes of stimulation.
