Possibilities of Restoring Impaired Cognitive Functions Using Non-Invasive Activation of Neuroplasticity Mechanisms

Negative consequences of various cognitive impairments accompanying many CNS diseases require reliable means for restoring impaired cognitive functions. A promising approach successfully used for this purpose and actively developing line of research is non-invasive brain stimulation that involves neuroplasticity mechanisms in the treatment process. The purpose of this work was to analyze publications of the last 5 years and consider the effects of the used non-invasive stimulation depending on the conditions and parameters of their organization. Examples of successful use of non-invasive brain stimulation with and without feedback from the patient's own bioelectric characteristics, as well as with the use of preliminary activation of neuroplasticity processes using priming were analyzed. The results of the author's own research are presented, demonstrating the possibilities of restoring impaired cognitive functions using EEG-guided light and music stimulation.
