Computation and Numerics in Neurostimulation
Neurostimulation continues to demonstrate tremendous success as an intervention for neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, in addition to a range of other neurological and psychiatric disorders. In an effort to enhance the medical efficacy and comprehension of this form of brain …

Investigating Hemodynamic Responses to Electrical Neurostimulation
… disease that has been overlooked is neurostimulation.</p> <p>Recent studies show that using neurostimulation techniques, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), can help to reduce ischemic pain, lower blood pressure, increase blood flow to the periphery, and …

Cognitive Neurostimulation: Learning to Volitionally Invigorate Mesolimbic Reward Network Activation
… This process can be referred to as “cognitive neurostimulation” -- a precise and non-invasive stimulation of neural systems via cognitive and behavioral strategies. And if not, can they be taught to do so? Recent technological advances make it feasible to present human participants with …

Optimizing the neural response to electrical stimulation and exploring new applications of neurostimulation
<p>Electrical stimulation has been successful in treating patients who suffer from neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders that are resistant to standard treatments. For deep brain stimulation (DBS), its official approved use has been limited to mainly motor disorders, such as Parkinson's disease …

L’effet de la neurostimulation périphérique sur la douleur induite par l’exercice chez les femmes vivants avec la fibromyalgie
Background: Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain and movement-evoked pain (MEP). While resistance training benefits fibromyalgia patients, early pain flare-ups (i.e. MEP) can hinder adherence. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a safe, non-pharmacological …

Magnetic Tools for Neural Interfacing
… explore new means to utilize magnetic fields for neurostimulation and improve upon existing methods. The first project is focused on the investigation of the magnetic field effect. The effect has been studied in magnetopharmacology and is hypothesized to be at the core of how animal species …

Development of sensory feedback systems: devices and strategies
… waveform. The results showed that the neurostimulation profile can influence neural fiber recruitment and induced sensation. The development of devices for sensory feedback was carried out from two different points of view. First, a non-invasive, low-cost, wearable, high-voltage …

An implantable piezoelectric ultrasound stimulator (ImPULS) for selective deep brain activation
Precise neurostimulation has potential to revolutionize therapies for neurological disorders. However, current neural interfaces targeting the deep brain face significant limitations in spatial resolution and potency due to tissue attenuation. We developed an implantable piezoelectric ultrasound …

Simply (neuro-)stimulating: The effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on phonological and lexical tone learning indexed by behavior and pupillometry
… that could augment learning is non-invasive neurostimulation. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a type of safe, non-invasive neurostimulation that delivers electrical current to the ear canal that has been shown to enhance cognition and learning (e.g., Jacobs et al., …

Wireless Neural Recording and Stimulation SoCs for Monitoring and Treatment of Intractable Epilepsy
… Treatment of intractable epilepsy by responsive neurostimulation requires seizure detection capabilities. Next, a low-power VLSI processor architecture for early seizure detection is described. It the magnitude, phase and phase synchronization of two neural signals - all precursors of a seizure. …

The Effectiveness of Electroconvulsive Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder According to Patient Self-Report
… each year. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a neurostimulation therapeutic intervention that is highly effective and most often used to treat certain psychiatric conditions, in particular MDD. Despite the proven effectiveness of using ECT to treat MDD there have been no other studies that have …
