Modulatory Effect of Association of Brain Stimulation by Light and Binaural Beats in Specific Brain Waves.

Introduction: One of the positive effects of brain stimulation is interhemispheric modulation as shown in some scientific studies. This study examined if a type of noninvasive stimulation using binaural beats with led-lights and sound would show different modulatory effects upon Alfa and SMR brain waves of elderlies and children with some disease types.

Subjects: The sample included 75 individuals of both genders, being, randomly, divided in 6 groups.

Brain stimulation used as biofeedback in neuronal activation of the temporal lobe area in autistic children.

This study focused upon the functional capacity of mirror neurons in autistic children. 30 individuals, 10 carriers of the autistic syndrome (GCA), 10 with intellectual impairments (GDI), and 10 non-autistics (GCN) had registered eletroencephalogram from the brain area theoretically related to mirror neurons. Data collection procedure occurred prior to brain stimulation and after the stimulation session.
