A stimulating initiative to improve brain function after injury or stroke
The Waisman Center is launching a groundbreaking new initiative using non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) that has the potential to transform the lives of infants and young children who have experienced early-life brain injuries. Early brain injuries can significantly impact a child’s development, affecting movement, speech, and other areas of function. Traditional interventions have had limited success in fully addressing these challenges across conditions. However, recent advancements in non-invasive brain stimulation offer new hope. This tool uses electromagnetic energy applied painlessly to the scalp to measure and influence brain activity, providing a novel and safe intervention method.
We need your help. The Waisman Center needs to raise $500,000 to establish non-invasive brain stimulation as a tool for researchers and clinicians. These funds will secure the needed equipment to move research and interventions forward. This tool has the capacity to impact a wide range of health and developmental areas and offers a non-invasive, painless, and safe method to better understand and influence brain function and behavior. Your charitable gift advances research, improves lives, and builds a better future for children and families impacted by a brain injury. To learn more about NIBS click the image to the right.
