“…Brain stimulation procedure using photic and auditory synthesizers is a type of deep brain stimulation by noninvasive and easy-to-apply technique. Researchers in this line of investigation have proved the benefits of this simple procedure applied to a series of treatment for neuromotor disorders, such as Parkinson's disease [11][12][13] , as well as other behavioral treatments 14,15 . The study's rationale was that if stimulation could, in fact, improve neural activity in the neurons associated with the functional task training, then its imagery would be more accurate, and consequently the performance of the task would improve.…”

A estimulação cerebral em pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral está associada a melhoria no desempenho motor e a incremento de eficácia na função neuronal , annually, about 15 million people are affected by cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), also known as stroke, with almost one-third of them suffering from some sort of disability. Consequences of CVA can be observed from a deep neural examination and may be presumed as the effect of the destruction of previously existing communications among a myriad of neurons responsible for the vandalized functions.The possible restoration could be presumed as being at the order of some sophisticated organic process normally under the conception of human brain neural plasticity [2][3][4] . In addition, in a theoretical point of view, one may expect that ABSTRACTAccording to World Health Organization, approximately 15 million people are affected by cerebrovascular accident in the world. We study the effect of brain stimulation plus an imaging procedure used as biofeedback training for recovery of motor functions impaired by CVA. Four individuals aged between 33 and 72 years were included in the study, of both genders, with hemiparesis on the left arm due to the CVA. They had their brain activity monitored by EEG. Functional tasks were evaluated according to an observational model proposed by the international classification of functioning and by runtime. The training was composed of 12 sessions of 30 minutes of stimulation by light and sound, as well as imaging procedures. Results revealed that improvements in the performance of the task, with regard to both the runtime and the functional quality of movements, are more related to the increase of effectiveness of neuronal function.Key words: stroke, motor neurons, deep brain stimulation. RESUMOSegundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde, aproximadamente 15 milhões de pessoas no mundo sofrem acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Estudaram-se os efeitos da estimulação cerebral associada à imagética, como treinamento de biofeedback, para a recuperação das funções motoras deterioradas pelo AVC. Foram incluidos 4 indivíduos com idade entre 33 e 72 anos, de ambos os gêneros, e com hemiparesia no braço esquerdo devido ao AVC. Esses pacientes tiveram a atividade cerebral monitorada por EEG. A tarefa funcional foi avaliada de acordo com o modelo de observação proposto pela Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade e pelo tempo de execução. O treinamento consistiu de 12 sessões de 30 minutos de estimulação por luz e som associado à imagética. Os resultados revelaram melhoria no desempenho da tarefa, tanto em relação ao tempo de execução quanto à qualidade funcional do movimento, e que está mais relacionada com o incremento de eficácia da função neuronal.Palavras-Chave: acidente vascular cerebral, neurônios motores, estimulação encefálica profunda.

“…The entrainment can also increase the interaction between neuron and astrocytes. 19,20 This study showed that the binaural entrainment of 2000-2040 Hz and 2000-2090 Hz increased GFAP expression of astrocytes and number of astrocytes processes in CA1 region of rat hippocampus. It was indicated an increase the interaction between neuron and astrocytes.…”

Astrocytes of hippocampus contribute in the learning performance. Entrainment of gamma waves can improve learning performance by improving the neurons to astrocytes communication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of binaural entrainment of 2000 -2040 Hz and 2000 -2090 Hz on Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) expression in astrocytes of the CA1 region of rat hippocampus during operant learning conditions. Twenty male Wistar rats aged 4-6 weeks with body weight 100-150 g were devided into 4 groups. Group I was given binaural sounds entrainment at 2000-2040 Hz without learning test. Group II was given entrainment as performed in Group I followed by a learning test. Group III was given binaural sounds entrainment at 2000-2090 followed by a learning test. Group IV was not given entrainment nor learning test. The entrainment was performed for 30 minutes everyday for 12 days and the learning test was performed for 10 minutes everyday for 12 days. The GFAP expression was examined imminohistochemically. Astrocytes processes and astrocytes histoscore were also calculated. The results showed that the number of the GFAP-positive astrocytes in Group I (70.96 ± 4.86), II (69.76±3.07) and III (63.10±5.85) were significantly higher than Control (47.33±1.33) (p<0.05). The number of the processes astrocytes in Group I (47.64 ± 3.87), II (60.66±2.07) and III (54.17±6.38) was significantly higher than Control (30.87±2.69) (p<0.05). Moreover, the number of the processes astrocytes in Group II was significantly higher than Group I (p=0.016). The astrocytes histoscore index in the Group II (115.58±14.13) and III (78.32±22.23) were significantly higher than Group I (28.79 ± 9.61) and Control (16.05±1.64) (p<0.05). In conclusion, the binaural entrainment of 2000 -2040 Hz and 2000 -2090 Hz increase GFAP expression of astrocytes in Cornu Ammonus 1 (CA1) region of rat hippocampus during operant learning conditioning. ABSTRAKAstrosit hippocampus berperan dalam kemampuan belajar. Entrainmen gelombang gamma dapat meningkatkan kemampuan belajar dengan memperbaiki komunikasi neuron dengan astrosit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh entrainment menggunakan metode binaural dengan gelombang suara 2000-2040 Hz dan 2000-2090 Hz terhadap ekspresi Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) pada astrosit di daerah CA1 hippocampus tikus yang menjalani proses belajar kondisi operan. Dua puluh tikus jantan Wistar berumur 4-6 minggu dengan berat badan 100-150 g dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok. Kelompok I diberi entrainment binaural dengan gelombang suara 2000-2040 Hz tanpa uji belajar. Kelompok II diberi entrainment binaural seperti pada Kelompok I 109 Nugraha et al., Binaural entrainment of 2000-2040 Hz and 2000-2090

“…This disadvantage of not being patient adaptive explains why brainwave entrainment methods are less efficient compared to feedback methods as would be expected., because they don't rely on a concentration and learning ability. Some studies indeed confirm the effectiveness of entrainment for ADHD [34,35], but not in all cognitive areas [30,36].…”

An EEG-Based audiovisual stimulation system was tested on a group of 32 ADHD patients. The efficacy was compared in a pre-and post analysis over a treatment period of 3 month with a control group and a group of patients with an EEGbased neurofeedback therapy. The number of impulsivity errors in a stop-signal paradigm at several distinct times during and after the therapy was used as a quality marker. The main feature of this method uses real-time-EEG data derived parameters for a controlled manipulation of EEG patterns with persistently strong audio-visual stimuli. It is based upon a direct feedback of changes in short-term coherences in the context of central nervous stimulus processing to control the stimulating frequency. The real-time EEG processing is done on the basis of time-dependent coherence analysis of the theta and beta band.
