[Manipulation of Human Brain Oscillation to Control Neuron Network Dynamics and its Clinical Application]

Electroencephalographic recordings of human brain oscillations have been performed over approximately a century. Noninvasive methods for manipulation of brain oscillations are currently available. Reportedly, the manipulation of brain oscillations alters human behavior and cognition and is also used for "oscillotherapy" to treat many neurological diseases. In this review, we summarize the physiological mechanisms of brain oscillations, human behavioral and cognitive changes, and oscillotherapy; we have focused on our recent findings of the manipulation of human brain oscillations during bipedal walking and gait disorder recovery.
