Rehabilitation is critical for stroke survivors as it aims to restore function, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.\n\nAuditory-visual stimulation (AVS) is a stroke rehabilitation technique that combines auditory and visual stimuli to promote cognitive and motor recovery. This approach is based on the principles of neuroplasticity, which suggest that engaging multiple senses through receptor systems can promote brain plasticity and recovery after neurological injury such as stroke.\n\nTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a promising technique in stroke rehabilitation that involves applying magnetic fields to the scalp, which induces electrical currents in specific brain regions. This method is believed to facilitate neuroplasticity, the brains ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.\n\nLI-TMS is a variant of TMS that uses lower intensity magnetic fields. This technique is designed to minimize discomfort while still promoting neuroplasticity. Key aspects of LI-TMS include:\n\n1. Safety and Tolerability: LI-TMS is generally well-tolerated, making it suitable for patients who may be sensitive to higher-intensity stimulation.\n2. Potential for Long-Term Effects: Studies suggest that LI-TMS may lead to sustained improvements in motor function and cognitive abilities, even after treatment has ended.\n3. Combination with Other Therapies: LI-TMS can be effectively combined with traditional rehabilitation methods, enhancing overall therapeutic outcomes.\n\nThis study aims to test the proposed interventional protocols using a prototype device for low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LI-TMS) and audio-visual stimulation (AVS) on healthy participants.\n\nParticipants in the experimental group are screened and tested upon their first visit to the hospital. Afterward, intervention courses are run five days a week for two weeks. Activities take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday while Saturday and Sunday are free. Interventions of each protocol are applied for two days in routine. At the end of the intervention course, participants are screened and tested again at the hospital and after two weeks.\n\nThe following is how the Interventional procedure goes: first, the device will be plugged in and tested, then in 5 minutes the subject sits in a comfortable chair, further a disposable hair cap is put on his/her head, a textile helmet with coil emitters is put on top of the disposable hair cap, then glasses with Red, Green, Blue Light-emitting diodes and stereo headphones. The Interventional protocol was selected in prototype software. In conformance with the selected Interventional protocol, the characteristics of the exposure signal were then set up. The button on the prototypes touch screen was pressed next. The intervention procedure was stopped when the time on the timer on the touch screen of the prototype expired. When the exposure procedure was over, the prototype was switched off and all its exposure units were taken off of the test subject in reverse order.\n\nThe study will involve two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group, consisting of 30 healthy participants, will receive a course of interventions over two weeks of days. The comparison will be made with a control group consisting of 10 healthy participants who will receive no intervention, only screening, and testing.\n\nInterventions.
