The role of non-invasive brain stimulation in the development of modern technologies of cognitive enhancement and cognitive rehabilitation

This review analyzes modern technologies for cognitive enhancement and cognitive rehabilitation using non-invasive brain stimulation. Examples of successful application of actively developing methods of non-invasive brain stimulation – transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation – are considered. as well as methods of sensory stimulation – acoustic, visual and audiovisual influences. Separately, examples of successful enhancement and restoration of cognitive functions using methods of non-invasive sensory stimulation with feedback from the electroencephalogram (EEG) are considered. The advantages of innovative technologies for cognitive rehabilitation using computer EEG transformations are shown. The possibilities and prospects for using the considered technologies as a tool in carrying out a wide range of rehabilitation procedures are analyzed. The results of the author's own research in this direction are presented.
