What´s Brainwave Entrainment?

An event similar to missing time can take place while hearing binaural noises intended to cause altered states of

The temporal lobe is meant for processing sounds and dealing with almost everything hearing related. We believe this is possibly our most interactive exhibit with multiple activities designed to test and explore one’s hearing potential! Two activities include a hearing test and a pitch hearing test both of which are clearly interactive and enjoyable for both young and old

The study is based on the comparison of the visual and auditory attention of children. Children were divided into three groups:

164). This non-invasive intervention uses electrodes that are placed on the scalp, to measure brain function (including brainwave pattens, auditory and visual feedback), which allows participants to observe their own brain function to enhance theor cognitive ability. For the most effective results participants were required complete a minimum of 1 to 2 sessions a week and for longer lasting improvements, at least 10 sessions a week. During each session, participants listened to sounds while playing a video game, they play the game by using only their brain. When their brain wave activity reaches the required criteria, they gain points (which acts as the reward in this appliction of operant conditioning). This type of brain training has shown to be effective as it has been used to treat mental illness, and improve cognitive ability, especially among older populations (Rabipour & Raz, 2012, p. 165).

One intervention may work for one person but not the other. It is important that each person is evaluated and examined in order to provide the best intervention for their specific case. One intervention or treatment may be having a profession work with the hearing-impaired child and their family to learn the skills and tools to improve their communication skills. There are hearing devices that aid in helping to improve a persons hearing. Technology is constantly changing and improving with newer and better ways to improve a person’s hearing greatly (Treatment and Intervention Services, 2015). This can be seen in the video, where they speak about the cochlear implant. A Cochlear implant is where a “procedure that implants an electronic device under the skin behind the ear directly stimulate the auditory nerve” (Hardman, Drew, & Egan, 2014). In the documentary, we witnessed how the lives of the children who had received the implant were impacted, how their families were affected and how effective the procedure was to their speech and language development and their social

The relation between the specific cognitive measure employed and the QEEG variables addressed has not been specifically delineated in previous research; effective variables for normal adults predominantly involve SCC values, not beta microvolts or relative power values; and beta1 relative power values are negatively related to auditory memory performance

After birth, infants jump immense milestones in terms of development. The first few weeks of a child’s life mark pertinent milestones of both perceptual and motor development. One important aspect of perceptual development is hearing which is fairly well developed immediately at birth. Although infants are initially slightly hard of hearing, they show sensitivity to sound, music, rhythm and melody. By just 4 to 6 months, children with regular hearing are able to localize noises and listen to sound (Robert Siegler, 2011). Hearing is an intricate process in which external stimuli such as sound is converted to the vibrational energy by the ear canal and eardrum and then to electrical pulses presented to the brain by various hearing nerves (Robert Siegler, 2011). The brain analyzes these electrical impulses into the sensation of hearing (Robert Siegler, 2011). Damage to the cochlear implant results in “sensory neural hearing loss” indicating that the ear has trouble translating sound waves into signals that can be analyzed by the brain (Robert Siegler, 2011). Justice’s wildcard of limited hearing in her left ear will surely affect and delay the first few perceptual and motor milestones of her infancy.

At the clinic, patients with Alzheimer’s Disease undergo a series of brain exercises that are used to stimulate the brain in the areas of memory and personality for two weeks at a time. After stimulating the parts of the brain that had previously deteriorated, some patients have begun to participate in activities or recall memories they had not been able to in a very long time. For example, some patients began to drive, bake, and remember their grandchildren’s name. The goal of this clinic is to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s so the patients can communicate and live a functioning life as long as possible. After partaking in the brain exercises, it is crucial for patients to continue to use their brain by thinking and talking about

As a small child, it was frustrating to not be able to make the adults in my life understand me. Many years later after development of the brainstem auditory evoked response test (BAER), a doctor who it seemed was always on the cutting edge of his science and working with neurologists at the old Lovelace Medical Center, tested my hearing using the BAER . For me, the results of this test were life changing because for the first time in 28 years my not being able to understand much of the conversation around me and consequently, my ability to communicate had a name—a diagnosis—central auditory processing disorder—I heard at two different speeds and both were at a slower rate than that of the general population.

tonotopic reorganization in the absence of stimulation need to be addressed in future studies. It is a Herculean task to reconcile these different theories of tinnitus producing mechanisms.

Some brain exercises are designed to boost auditory processing that boosts your conversation skills, that includes pronunciation, listening and memory through auditory cues. Others are designed to process your visual processing capability - improving reaction time, memory through visual cues and range of sight.

Number of participants is at 22 but we had to reduce to eighteen data sets because participants were not here both days of the experiment. The age range is from nineteen to fifty-four, were the mean age is twenty-eight point five with a modal age at twenty-three. We had four males and fourteen females that participated. The ethnicity of the participants was nine, white/Caucasian, seven African Americans, and two Hispanic Americans. All participants in this study are in college. In the study there was two parts. Part one was a visual status where the visual acuity experimental materials is reported as normal. The second part was an auditory status where the auditory acuity for experimental materials is reported as normal.

The subjects underwent 3 blocks of sessions spaced in two months and each block consisted in 20 individual sessions of 1 h five days a week for four weeks. All patients completed a neuropsychological battery twice, one at the baseline and other at 3 months after finishing the training. The administration of the pre–post neuropsychological testing and the training program were conducted by two different experienced neuropsychologists, blinded to the subjects’ group status. The neuropsychological outcomes measures included MMSE, short story recall (assessing memory), category fluency and letter fluency (assessing language), Raven’s coloured matrices (assessing abstract ability), copy and delayed recall of Rey’s complex figure test (visuo-spatial ability). Results indicated that at baseline demographic characteristics, all the participants were similar regarding sex, age and educational level. The combined group treated with ChEIs and TNP improved in cognitive areas such as episodic memory (mean short story 7.5 ± 2.6 vs 11.0 ± 3.5; p < 0.01) and abstract reasoning (mean Raven’s coloured matrices 24.2 ± 3.1 vs 26.6 ± 4.2; p <

A sound source in space will stimulate both ears. Experiments with headphones have suggested that the side on which a source is heard depends on timing and intensity differences at the two ears. A sound source on one side will stimulate the nearest ear first, because the sound path to that ear is shorter. This cue is particularly important for low-frequency sounds, because with low-frequency sounds, the phase differences at the two ears produced by the difference in path length are unambiguous. The intensity at the nearest ear will also be greater, because the farther ear is shadowed by the head. Localization depending only on these binaural cues lead to potential ambiguities, because they do not give information on the elevation of a sound source, or whether the source is in front of or behind the head. Information on these is contributed by the pinna, which for high-frequency sounds produces further shadows and reflections. The cues from the pinna also mean that some localization is possible when using only one ear.
