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 susceptibili… Continue reading Brain stimulation can make you easier to hypnotize
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 … Continue reading Magnetic stimulation improves movement & balance 12 years after stroke
Stanford scientists have discovered a major biological mechanism behind severe depression, and shown how to treat it. Signals between two key parts of the brain seem to flow the wrong way in people with depression, but magnetic stimulation reverses the… Continue reading Magnetic stimulation treats depression by fixing “backwards” brain signals
New research led by a team from the University of Glasgow is shedding light on how specifically targeted pulses of magnetic stimulation to the brain can improve episodic memory. The work found inhibiting activity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cor… Continue reading New insights into how magnetic brain stimulation can improve memory
Stanford researchers are claiming to have optimized an already FDA-approved form of non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation to better treat those suffering from severe, treatment-resistant depression. A small preliminary study achieved an extraordinary… Continue reading Strong results from new Stanford brain stimulation method for depression
Early results presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles suggest non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation can enhance brain activity in patients after stroke. It is hoped the device could speed up recov… Continue reading Magnetic stimulation enhances brain activity, aiding stroke recovery
Basically, it’s possible to make people feel music more by exciting their brains with magnets. Continue reading Magnetic Brain Stimulation Can Be Used to Alter How You Perceive Music
