Attributed extracts from the research record

“The use of binaural-rhythm stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease, as designed in this study, seems to be an effective, portable, inexpensive and noninvasive method to modulate brain activity”
“It resulted in a normalization of EEG power (altered in Parkinson’s Disease), normalization of brain FC (also altered in Parkinson’s Disease) and working memory improvement (a normalizing effect)”
“We consider that sound, particularly binaural-rhythmic sound, may be a co-assistant tool in the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease”
