Bücher der Reihe Special Issues of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation explores the potential of information technology to provide support for people with cognitive dysfunction.

This Special Issues includes state-of-the art reviews, written by research leaders, of Non-Invasive Brain-Stimulation (NIBS) techniques for the cognitive rehabilitation of disorders of memory, language, perception, attention and executive functions. Enhancing cognitive functions and the effects of concurrent cognitive rehabilitation through NIBS is a promising field for translational and clinical research. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES), modulate behaviour through effects on neural excitability, and plasticity. tES is a low-cost and safe method, that can be used in a variety of conditions, both in the hospital and home-based. The Special Issue is a highly recommended reading for neurologists and psychologists.
