Closed-Loop Acoustic Stimulation During Sleep in Children With Epilepsy: A Hypothesis-Driven Novel Approach to Interact With Spike-Wave Activity and Pilot Data Assessing Feasibility [PDF]
Slow waves, the electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of deep sleep, can be systematically manipulated by acoustic stimulation: stimulation time-locked to the down phase of slow waves reduces, whereas stimulation time-locked to the up phase increases ...

Enhancement of Sleep Quality and Stability Using Acoustic Stimulation During Slow Wave Sleep
Background: One of the challenges today is that the quality of sleep has weakened by many external factors, which we are not even aware of and which directly affect sleep.

Assessment of a Direct Acoustic Cochlear Stimulator [PDF]
This study aimed to assess the functional results of a new, active, acoustic-mechanical hearing implant, the Direct Acoustic Cochlear Stimulation Partial Implant (DACS PI), in a preclinical study. The DACS PI is an electromagnetic device fixed to the mastoid by screws and coupled to a standard stapes prosthesis by an artificial incus (AI). The function

The Predictive Value of Fetal Acoustic Stimulation [PDF]
To compare the predictive abilities, test duration times, and incidence of nonreactive results in the acoustic stimulation test (AST) and the nonstress test (NST).Four-hundred randomly selected patients, delivering within 7 days of a preceding test, were divided into two groups (group I: NST; group II: AST).

Acoustic stimulation increases implicit adaptation in sensorimotor adaptation
Sensorimotor adaptation is an important part of our ability to perform novel motor tasks (i.e., learning of motor skills). Efforts to improve adaptation in healthy and clinical patients using non-invasive brain stimulation methods have been hindered by ...

Acoustic stimulation during sleep predicts long-lasting increases in memory performance and beneficial amyloid response in older adults. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Sleep and neurodegeneration are assumed to be locked in a bi-directional vicious cycle. Improving sleep could break this cycle and help to prevent neurodegeneration. We tested multi-night phase-locked acoustic stimulation (PLAS) during slow

Intermediate Latency-Evoked Potentials of Multimodal Cortical Vestibular Areas: Galvanic Stimulation
IntroductionHuman multimodal vestibular cortical regions are bilaterally anterior insulae and posterior opercula, where characteristic vestibular-related cortical potentials were previously reported under acoustic otolith stimulation. Galvanic vestibular

Temporal sequence of visuo-auditory interaction in multiple areas of the guinea pig visual cortex. [PDF]
Recent studies in humans and monkeys have reported that acoustic stimulation influences visual responses in the primary visual cortex (V1). Such influences can be generated in V1, either by direct auditory projections or by feedback projections from ...
