Brain stimulation improves vision recovery after stroke https://actu.epfl.ch/news/brain-stimulation-improves-vision-recovery-after-s/ using #noninvasive cf-tACS to deliver "low-frequency alpha waves to the primary visual cortex and high-frequency gamma waves to the motion-sensitive area"; #hemianopia
Boosting hemianopia recovery: the power of interareal cross-frequency brain stimulation https://academic.oup.com/brain/advance-article/doi/10.1093/brain/awaf252/8322719?login=false
Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke. The approach could offer a more efficient and faster way to regain visual function in such cases.

🧠 A team of scientists led by Friedhelm Hummel at the Neuro-X Institute have developed a therapy for stroke patients experiencing hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field.
This new treatement combines visual training with a multifocal, non-invasive brain stimulation approach to re-orchestrate brain communication and improve recovery.

Thanks to @daisydaisy for telling #ohs2025 all about #MrFlashyBeepy, an open source gadget that uses Multisensory Training to ameliorate #Hemianopia (stroke induced vision loss) for around £50 in parts:
I’m giving a lightning talk at OSH25!
“Treating sight loss with an open source training device”
I found a paper describing a way to treat #hemianopia with light and sound to stimulate the brain more than light alone. My friend made the electronic device and it is improving my vision.
