Apparatus and method for efficient long-term multi-channel non-invasive stimulation for the treatment of disorders of the nervous system

The Tass Lab has invented non-invasive, Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (vCR) stimulation devices and methods to safely and efficiently treat brain disorders characterized by abnormal neuronal synchrony such as Parkinson's disease.

The device is an anti-habituation method to adjust stimuli in a way that enhances long term effectiveness. It delivers non-invasive, in particular, sensory stimulation treatment in a way that it counteracts habituation, e.g., by increasing and rewarding patients' attention, alertness, curiosity level and activating additional brain areas besides primary sensory brain areas. In this way the device counteracts habituation and increases the therapeutic effects, e.g., by boosting the propagation of desynchronizing effects through disease-related brain circuits.
