prof angelo quartarone works at a centre where he witnesses plasticity in action every day.o repair itself in some way. of course, with neurorehabilitation, we can accelerate recovering patients. we apply different techniques of rehabilitation, robotics, virtual reality — all the sort of rehabilitation approaches — and using neuromodulation technique, which can empower the process of neuroplasticity in these patients. i'm talking about transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation. those are techniques which are currently used to boost up plasticity. this patient has lost power in her right limbs, and angelo's team are using two key ways to boost plasticity and help her regain mobility. the robot and game she's playing help by employing many of the tactics we've seen so far. it's repetitive, variable and intensive, inducing plastic changes in the affected neural networks. but importantly, it's rewarding, which also helps strengthen these connections. then there's the transcranial direct current stimulation device — that's the electric cap she's
