Brain rhythm treatment effectiveness: More complex multisensory synchronization may be better?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

In IAP Research Report # 9 (B rain rhythm treatment efficacy:  Can we fine-tune our brain clocks ), it was concluded (after reviewing 23 studies) that “rhythm-based mental-timing treatments have merit for clinical use and warrant increased clinical use and research attention.”   Additionally, it was concluded that: Positive treatment outcomes were reported for four forms of rhythm-based treatment . Positive outcomes were also observed for normal subjects and, more importantly, across a variety of clinical disorders (e.g., aphasia, apraxia, coordination/movement disorders, TBI, CP, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/CVA, Down’s syndrome, ADHD) Most rhythm-based brain-based interventions (the RAS, AOS-RRT and SMT treatment studies) all employed some form of auditory-based metronome to pace or cue the subjects targeted rhythmic behavior. External metronome-based rhythm tools (tapping to a beat, metronome-based rhythmic pacing, rhythmic-cuing via timed pulses/beats) is a central tool to improving temporal processing and mental-timing.
