SYSTEM FOR LOCALLY ACTIVATING THE HUMAN EYE AND THE BRAIN IN ORDER TO TRAIN VISUAL PERFORMANCE, IN PARTICULAR IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE VISUAL CORTEX AND REORGANIZED NEURAL NETWORKS IN THE HUMAN BRAIN IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN RESIDUAL VISION

摘要

The invention relates to a system for locally activating the nervous system in the human eye and in the brain by means of a non-invasive pulse treatment in order to strengthen residual vision in cases of existing visual field defects, consisting of an applicator for guiding a flow of current to the eye and/or brain and to excite the circulation and activate nerve cells, in particular nerve cells of the visual system and retinal ganglion cells, a pulse generator for generating electric stimulation signals, and a data processing and control unit for providing patient-specific stimulation signal sequences, wherein the applicator has at least two electrodes which can be brought into contact with the head of the subject. Replaceable stimulation electrodes are fixed to the applicator such that the electrodes rest to the right and to the left of the eye in the region of the temple of the patient's head. The applicator additionally has at least one assembly for non-invasively determining the circulation of the skin and the brain and for determining the oxygen saturation in order to improve the stimulation effect in this regard when using the system.
