Neuronal Plasticity
The foundation of life-long learning
Cognitive rehabilitation is based on the principles of neural plasticity, describing the malleability of our nervous system. This malleability is called neuronal plasticity.
Learning and all associated processes in human beings are working as these principles describe. Through various internal and external stimuli, new connections can be created in the brain and strengthened by repetition or weakened by disuse. Resulting from these processes whole brain areas can change and adapt to specific needs.
Consider our brain somewhat as a plant that’s able to regenerate and grow.
Neuroplasticity in rehabilitation
The impact of neural plasticity in rehabilitation is crucial for regaining essential skills. If our nervous system is stimulated or overstrained, it adapts to the increased demand. After an injury of a human’s cortex critical periods open, in which the neurons are particularly malleable.
These phases and the training are elementary for successful rehabilitation.
At living brain we take advantage of these biological principles. Our exercises stimulate the brain in a way it induces neural plasticity after injuries of the nervous system and helps to bring back lost abilities.
OUR USER-EXPERIENCE STUDY
As a medical device manufacturer the scientific base as well as the functionality of our products are especially important to us. That is the reason why we are conducting our own clinical studies.
In our first study, we investigated how stroke patients react to our product.

OUR CLINICAL STUDY
To evaluate the effectiveness of teora mind we conducted a controlled-randomized clinical study. The study compared the innovative therapy with teora mind to the standard theory of computer-assisted trainings. The group training with VR showed significantly better results, especially concerning improvements of the executive functions.
