influences the interplay between incoming signals from the outside environment and returning signals from a person’s internal environment. Brain injury or undue stress can disrupt neurological systems and causes “comfort” ranges to be constricted. However, through the plasticity and malleability of the brain’s wiring, new signaling pathways and connections can be established to bypass diseased or dysfunctional brain tissue. This results in balancing internal and external systems, returning normalcy to one’s spatial awareness and awareness of self.
Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation used for Neuromodulation
The term neuromodulation refers to a new science that looks at the ongoing process of signaling input and feedback that occurs beneath the conscious level and involves the retina and eye muscles. Even during sleep, chemical changes take place in the various cellular layers of the retina. For example, when a person falls asleep with the flickering light of a television on or with surrounding noise, the brain is unable to fall into a deep sleep, resulting in less-than-optimal restorative properties.
Retinal neuromodulation is the modification of neurological systems via retinal stimulation and an emerging area of Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation. Mind-Eye examinations apply scientific principles in addressing issues related to a patient’s neurological imbalances including abnormal responses and reactions to the environment.
Executive function skills, which develop by the time a person reaches 25 years of age and are based on “Who am I” experiences, can decline or disappear as a result of aging, disease, or injury. Other brain processes such as perception, emotion, and unconscious responses at the chemical and proprioceptive (sensory input and feedback that relates to body movement and positioning). Many skills can be rebuilt due to brain and retinal
