Current Sensory Stimulation Practices for Individuals in Coma or Vegetative State
… States rehabilitation facilities regarding sensory stimulation treatment for unresponsive patients. Responding clinicians generally agreed that sensory stimulation was helpful in increasing awareness and/or arousal in many unresponsive patients. In addition, and contrary to previous reports, …

Sensory Stimulation to Promote Deep Breathing in the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient
… with C.O.P.D. the experimental technique of sensory stimulation was investigated as a breaching retraining method. Sensory stimulation consisted of five minutes of repetitive brushing and two to three seconds of quick icing. The areas brushed and iced were the anterior and lateral thoracic …

Living in the moment: Approaching Mental healthcare design through adaptive reuse and sensory stimulation
This thesis intends to explore the idea of transforming unused lifeless space which is surplus and old into a holistic mental healthcare space. The world has never been the same since the pandemic and one of the major trends that have been seen post-pandemic is the work from home culture, Major …

A study examining the effect of multi-sensory stimulation on the descriptive writing of fourth grade students
… purpose of this study was to determine if multi-sensory stimulation during writing exercises would increase the number of descriptive elements used by fourth grade students. Thirty-five students in two intact classrooms participated in the nonequivalent control group design study. A learning …

The Influence of Enhanced Tactile and Vestibular Sensory Stimulation on Subsequent Auditory and Visual Responsiveness: A Matter of Timing
The fact that sensory modalities do not become functional at the same time raises the question of how sensory systems and their particular experiential histories might influence one another. Few studies have addressed how modified stimulation to earlier-emerging modalities might influence the …

The use of multi-sensory stimulation to improve functional performance in older people with dementia: a randomised single blind trial
… with dementia (Stubbings & Sharp, 1999). Multisensory Environments (MSEs) utilising advanced sensory stimulating equipment targeting the senses, have been successfully used in dementia care, severe learning disabilities and palliative care (Baker et al, 1997). Despite this, no controlled …

Effects of Prenatal Sensory-Evoked Arousal on Postnatal Behavior and Perceptual Responsiveness in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
Prenatal sensory stimulation can have facilitative or interfering effects upon subsequent perceptual learning and development in bobwhite quail. Exposure to moderate amounts of unimodal prenatal sensory stimulation has been shown to accelerate early intersensory responsiveness, while exposure to …

Interneuron networks and cortical dynamics : emulated whisking drives SOM interneurons in the ketamine anesthetized mouse SI neocortex
… of interneurons respond differentially to sensory stimulation independent of volitional or other top-down control on the part of the animal. I also test and confirm the hypothesis that, based only on bottom-up sensory stimulation the activity of two major classes of interneurons (adapting …

Connection to Nature at the Building Edge: Towards a Therapeutic Architecture for Dementia Care Environments
… social environment that challenged or enabled sensory stimulation and nature-related activities. ‘Nature’ was defined and SLANT was developed to quantitatively assess fourteen facilities for their potential to provide a ‘connection’ to nature. The Edge Space Study facilitated sensory …

Variations in critical flicker frequency with intersensory stimulation in two modalities
… hypotheses concerning magnitude of response to sensory stimulation in one mode, (CFF) relative to intensities of concurrent stimuli in two other modes, (weights and tones). Such heteromodal effects have been investigated under a variety of conditions. Reported results have included facilitation …

Development of an 'individualised sensory environment' for adults with learning disabilities and an evaluation of its effects on their interactive behaviours
… of an intervention incorporating structured sensory stimulation. It was designed for use with adults with learning disabilities who were not yet intentional communicators. The intervention was termed an 'Individualised Sensory Environment' (I.S.E.). The main objective was to reduce the levels …

Contributions of distinct interneuron types to neocortical dynamics
… of PV and SOM neurons in dynamic regulation of sensory processing. First, by combining extra- and intracellular recordings with optogenetic and sensory stimulation and pharmacology, we have shown that PV cells play a key role in the generation of neocortical gamma oscillations, confirming the …

EEG activation patterns in the frontal lobes of stutterers and nonstutterers during working memory tasks
… experience interference effects from competing sensory feedback during the working memory interval in which contextual information is held on-line in order to prepare subsequent motor responses. Behavior and EEG activity of stutterers and non stutterers were compared during working memory tasks. …
