Neuroplasticity in Blind Subjects After Repetitive Tactile Stimulation

NCT01754103 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Brain plasticity of cortical activity caused by repetitive tactile stimulation could have a progressive development that was from primary parietal areas, passing over parieto-occipital areas and came secondary to primary occipital areas. This process allows to understand the existence of neurons in the brain and specific areas for certain functions independent of the type of stimulation is performed.

By performing repetitive tactile stimulation over a period of 3 months,using a tactile stimulator, our group will try to prove several that repetitive tactile stimulation can create cross-modality and improve recognition and localization of patterns in blind people.
