September 24, 2015. Treatment center for Deep Brain Stimulation of movement disorders, OCD, Tourette or depression.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown benefits for movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor and dystonia and other neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome, chronic pain and cluster headache. DBS can directly change the brain activity in a controlled manner and is hence used ...
Neurogaming is a nascent form of gaming that involves the use of brain–computer interfaces such as EEG so that users can interact with the game without the need of traditional controllers. [1] [2] It can be used as a novel and engaging type of gameplay, or as a way to create adaptive technology to improve accessibility in gaming. Some use ...
Robert Galbraith Heath (May 9, 1915 – September 21, 1999) was an American psychiatrist. [1] [2] He followed the theory of biological psychiatry, which holds that organic defects are the sole source of mental illness, [3] and that consequently mental problems are treatable by physical means.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive neurotherapy, a form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to induce an electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction. An electric pulse generator, or stimulator, is connected to a magnetic coil connected to the scalp. The ...
Electrical brain stimulation (EBS), also referred to as focal brain stimulation (FBS), is a form of electrotherapy and neurotherapy used as a technique in research and clinical neurobiology to stimulate a neuron or neural network in the brain through the direct or indirect excitation of its cell membrane by using an electric current.
Brain stimulation may refer to: Brain Stimulation, a medical journal published by Elsevier; Brain stimulation reward, a process of directly stimulating reward centers in the brain; Cranial electrotherapy stimulation; Deep brain stimulation, a surgical treatment that stimulates parts of the brain with electrical impulses
