Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

BCI Neurofeedback - Helping in Stroke Rehabilitation

For your doctor to tell you that this is not ready for regular use.

  • Restorative BCI aims at selective induction of use-dependent neuroplasticity to facilitate motor recovery.
In this post we are going to focus on restorative brain computer interfaces. To understand how restorative BCIs work it is necessary first to explain what brain plasticity is. A plastic material is moldable or changeable in structure and so is the brain. Brain plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change throughout life. The brain has the amazing ability of reorganizing itself by forming new connections between neurons. A consequence of neuroplasticity is that the brain activity associated with a given function can move to a different location. It is therefore able to compensate damage by reorganizing and forming new connections between intact neurons. In order to reconnect, the neurons need to be stimulated through activity, and here is where BCI’s role comes in.
