    Magnetic Fields in Noninvasive Brain Stimulation
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2014-04-01) Vidal-Dourado, Marcos [UNIFESP]; Conforto, Adriana Bastos; Sales Ferreira Caboclo, Luis Otavio [UNIFESP]; Scaff, Milberto; Figueiredo Ferreira Guilhoto, Laura Maria de [UNIFESP]; Targas Yacubian, Elza Marcia [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Hosp Israelita Albert Einstein
    The idea that magnetic fields could be used therapeutically arose 2000 years ago. These therapeutic possibilities were expanded after the discovery of electromagnetic induction by the Englishman Michael Faraday and the American Joseph Henry. in 1896, Arsene d'Arsonval reported his experience with noninvasive brain magnetic stimulation to the scientific French community. in the second half of the 20th century, changing magnetic fields emerged as a noninvasive tool to study the nervous system and to modulate neural function. in 1985, Barker, Jalinous, and Freeston presented transcranial magnetic stimulation, a relatively focal and painless technique. Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been proposed as a clinical neurophysiology tool and as a potential adjuvant treatment for psychiatric and neurologic conditions. This article aims to contextualize the progress of use of magnetic fields in the history of neuroscience and medical sciences, until 1985.

    Tendências do neurofeedback em psicologia: revisão sistemática
    (Departamento de Psicologia - Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2010-12-01) Dias, Alvaro Machado [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Neurofeedback is a non-invasive method of operant conditioning designed to produce improvements in clinical and performance enhancement or sense of well-being in normal people by inducing neuroplastic effects in the brain.Objectives: Overview the literature indexed in PubMed and Scopus, and review the studies on attention deficit disorder and cognitive enhancement, performance and sense of well-being in normal people. Results: there are 156 complete articles published in Journals indexed in PubMed, 249 in Scopus, and an overall number of 310 papers. The application of the technique to the treatment of attention deficit disorder is well established in the literature, while the use for non-clinic conditions is still under development.
