This news about how motor rehabilitation is bettered by applications of technology reminds me what Alvaro Pascual-Leone and colaborators (Vincent Walsh) have been doing with TMS (e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation, a tool use to disrupt or stimulate available neural patterns) and other cognitve neuroscience tools to enhance cortical performance,taping brain plsticity, during mental practising a given behaviour (for example, mentally playing the piano); that subsecuently improves the actual ability to play the piano.
It is an entire venue to manipulate and intervene the CNS (central nervous system) with what the many advances the 21st century will give to us.
Also related with this news is what scientist have been found with videogames. While many have been thought that they are causing social isolation, they indeed increase socialising and enhance visual accuity, attention and other cognitve faculties. Reply to this
