No Electricity Needed

Brain Stimulation Shows Promise As Aid To Recovery from TBI
 

Notice the word "low." Bigger isn't always better. 

What about non-electrical stimulation? We do get stimulation from the senses. I'm talking about our everyday experiences. This is stimulation that comes into the brain, but it is not electrical.

We actually need to be careful with these experiences after a brain injury.

I thought to sort the sensory information so that it targets only one sense. Then take that one experience and multiply its effects.

"The reason ART works is the brain is constantly bombarded with natural information, but in a way that the brain has to deal with it. ART uses body weight and gravity. Those forces cause the brain to re-wire/make neuropathways to deal with the information coming in (gravity pulling body weight against an area that does not have neuropathways). Also, the involved area must not be impeded such as Spinal Cord Injury or physical deformity."  http://thoughtfulveg.blogspot.com/2011/08/neurogenic-therapy.html

Basically, do the experience over and over to magnify.  

I am currently applying this idea to swallowing. Swallowing is a bit more complicated as it is a series of physical movements, but I think I found the stimulus that allows for amplification. Lollipops can last a while. 

Information comes in and the brain has to do something with it. The amplification is nerve stimulation. Limiting the experience to only one sense prevents flooding, or over-stimulation. Electrical current is not needed.
