Opti-Speech technology, developed by the University of Texas at Dallas, uses 3D images of the tongue to aid in learning speech sounds. The technology could be particularly beneficial for stroke patients struggling with speech articulation. A study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience showed that visual feedback training improved participants’ accuracy in learning new sounds. Further research is needed to understand why visual feedback impacts speech and which brain regions are involved.

Syntonics, a type of light therapy used in vision therapy, involves transmitting light frequencies to the brain via the eyes. It’s effective for treating various visual problems and even emotional disorders and brain injuries. The therapy also balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. During treatment, patients gaze into different light frequencies based on their specific issues. The effectiveness of syntonics is indicated by changes in behavior, symptom reduction, and improvements in peripheral vision absorption.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), specifically concussions, is a major health problem in Malaysia, particularly among young adults. After a concussion, individuals often experience Post Trauma Vision Syndrome (PTVS), which can cause symptoms such as dizziness and difficulty coordinating the eyes due to brain damage. PTVS can impact reading skills, balance, and result in headaches or migraines, as well as problems with eye movement, focusing, and convergence. Neuro-Optometric Vision Rehabilitation is a treatment program that assists patients in improving their visual function by addressing these issues.
