Cranial-Nerve Non-Invasive Neuromodulation(CN-NNM). CN-NINM uses controlled patterns and sequences of tactile stimuli (mild electric stimulation) on the tongue. CN-NINM is non-invasive because stimuli are applied to the surface of the skin. Combined with specialized physical therapy or mental exercises, CN-NIMM may aid functional recovery from neurological impairment that is caused by stroke, trauma, or neurodegenerative disease.

This project examines brain activity responsible for recovery of balance, posture, and gait in vestibular-impaired persons, while using a system that delivers a neuromodulation stimulus to the brain through the tongue. Brain activity is measured using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
