Binaural acoustic stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Acoustic stimulation can improve motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and might therefore represent a potential non-invasive treatment option. Scalp electroencephalography studies in healthy subjects indicate that specifically binaural beat stimulation (BBS) in the gamma frequency range is associated with synchronized cortical oscillations at 40 ...

Acoustic Stimulator for Rats [PDF]
The ear bar of a stereo-taxic instrument was modified to permit the introduction of acoustic stimuli to the rat's eardrum during acute experiments on the auditory nervous system. For measurement of the sound pressure of pure-tone stimuli, a probe microphone was attached to the hollow ear bar so that the probe tube tip is placed near the eardrum.

Acoustic Stimulation Improves Memory and Reverses the Contribution of Chronic Sleep Deprivation to Pathology in 3xTgAD Mice. [PDF]
Objective: Acoustic stimulation during sleep is believed to enhance slow waves, which are critical to memory consolidation. However, clinical trials of acoustic stimulation have yielded mixed results concerning its effectiveness in improving human memory.

Picosecond acoustic dynamics in stimulated Brillouin scattering [PDF]
Recent experiments demonstrating storage of optical pulses in acoustic phonons based on stimulated Brillouin scattering raise a number of questions about the spectral and temporal capacities of such protocols and the limitations of the theoretical frameworks routinely used to describe them.

Multimodal acoustic-electric trigeminal nerve stimulation modulates conscious perception [PDF]
Multimodal stimulation can reverse pathological neural activity and improve symptoms in neuropsychiatric diseases. Recent research shows that multimodal acoustic-electric trigeminal-nerve stimulation (TNS) (i.e., musical stimulation synchronized to ...

Induction of slow oscillations by rhythmic acoustic stimulation [PDF]
Slow oscillations are electrical potential oscillations with a spectral peak frequency of $\sim$0.8 Hz, and hallmark the electroencephalogram during slow-wave sleep. Recent studies have indicated a causal contribution of slow oscillations to the consolidation of memories during slow-wave sleep, raising the question to what extent such oscillations can ...

Similarities between action potentials and acoustic pulses in a van der Waals fluid [PDF]
An action potential is typically described as a purely electrical change that propagates along the membrane of excitable cells. However, recent experiments have demonstrated that non-linear acoustic pulses that propagate along lipid interfaces and traverse the melting transition, share many similar properties with action potentials.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering from surface acoustic waves in sub-wavelength photonic microwires [PDF]
Brillouin scattering in optical fibres is a fundamental interaction between light and sound with important implications ranging from optical sensors to slow and fast light. In usual optical fibres, light both excites and feels shear and longitudinal bulk elastic waves, giving rise to forward guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering and backward ...

Acoustic Vestibular Stimulation in the Guinea Pig [PDF]
Observations of guinea pig eye movements associated with periodic (AC) and static (DC) pressure variations in the external auditory meatus are presented. Eye movements that are associated with normal vestibular stimulation were studied. These eye movements were determined by direct observation with a microscope and by electronystagmography.
