I honestly think these prism goggles to improve proprioception is a crutch. Creating new neuro pathways and cueing proprioceptors I feel is much more effective. Nifty gimmick though
The world needs more people like you 🙌

FANTASTIC Dr Barrett, keep on keeping on! WONDERFUL findings, best regards.

Is it possible to do something like that for people with TBI's that have double vision? So they don't have double vision any more?
The USA health Care system absolutely sucks for people with a Brain Injury!
What hospitals use this??
It’s very exhausting explaining people why you forget things so fast and why you didn’t see the person on the left side. After Years you start to compensate that, but still annoying
An interesting exploration of spatial neglect.
Neurosurgeon and a poet awesome!!
I am a level one trauma nurse of many years that worked at leading facilities. I was going to be a flight nurse. I give this background to let you know I am familiar with trauma. I am no longer a trauma nurse which was my passion, secondary to consenting to this procedure I was told was safe and effective.I am addressing those in rehabilitation medicine. I am asking for help in addressing these brain injury outcomes, now proved around devices in the California courts. The issue is electroshock or ECT. We have sustained repeated brain injuries at the hands of trusted providers. We are now sustaining further damages from providers, in trying to find help, and this is where I turn to your profession.Since providers do not want to implicate other providers nor facilities, never mind their risk their medical career if they were to expose this, we as victims of this are greatly suffering. I do not like to use the word victim, but here it applies. I am diligent with my own care in trying to recover from this and am far from silent when I cannot access needed resources. I am lucky in this way to be outspoken and to have a background that is well aware of testing needed and what has transpired around this. I am met with the same as my peers often in spite of this. We are TBI survivors just as any other survivor, only our mechanism of injury being electrical was delivered by physicians hands. We struggle daily to maintain our lives after not just one head injury, but multiples. We are told we have not been harmed. We are gas lighted when our reality is already skewed by traumatic brain injury. We ask for help, but doctors ignore and minimize us. We cannot access testing nor services, because reason for same would have to be acknowledged, and better to ignore than have your name as a provider in the notes exposing this battery at best. My peers are killing themselves because we are discounted in our suffering and actually in many instances treated with overt contempt when trying to find help from doctors and staff.Below is an outcome that is mine. I have been now identified with damages to my frontal lobes, cerebellum, and temporal lobes by a TBI specialist secondary to electroshock. It is is the medical records. I ask you in rehabilitation medicine to have these conversations with others so we can address this harm and get help to those that desperately need it. Expose this and shine a light as the public is at great risk. You are familiar with our struggles. We are just like any other TBI patient that needs your help and recognition please.
There is a test called the VNG that is used to identify concussions and other brain injuries. It is the in office test similar to the on field test the NFL players now get called the I-PASS. Below are damages recorded in notes by TBI specialist to outcomes of electroshock. Perhaps this test may be used to identify TBI in ECT patients, as it is used for TBI in the NFL. These below findings around ECT are resulting from VNG testing. Patients are also showing changes on MRI, EEG, neuro/cog testing, and SPECT.

Please see ectjustice now owned by law firms participating in national product liability suit. My gratitude for any exposure you can bring to this issue.
Didn't know Kirk Hammett was a neurologist
Why couldn’t the caregiver train them and then phase out gradually
I wonder if this treatment for those born with Cerable parsley like my best friend was though she is a strong inspiration to me she is very strong and and how she compinsates with her injury and does What she is able to do and does
It would be wonderful if could help those with Cerable parsley.
Amazing, thank you for sharing.
Will your an inspiration and I know you have a wonderful future ahead! Good luck! 😊❤️
I strongly advise anyone that rides bike, skateboard, snowboard, ski to wear a helmet. Stay safe!
My heart genuinley goes out to people with brain injuries. It's the most important organ but we'll only ever truly realise that until it's too late
I got no correct diagnosis nor rehab of any kind after my brain injury. I worked very hard trying to relearn things alone & I'm proud of what I achieved. But life now is full of uncertainty: lost my fit strong body, my health, my job, my home, my relationships… The lucky few (what %?) get access to the best treatments and aftercare, the rest of us are left to rot. I WISH everyone could easily access all of it and most importantly: adapted safe hosing for LIFE = security.
I enjoyed every minute of this wonderful presentation. You rock Dr Barrett, keep up the good work!
It is great effective treatment. Dr Barrett describes that she was the discoverer of using YOKED PRISM and then MONITIZES it to her benefit.($3000) Use of YOKE PRISM for prism adaptation has been used since the 1970's by Developmental Optometrists…SHE COMPLETELY ignores the work of American Optometrists. Contact NORA the neuro optometric rehabilitation association and find out for yourself! Find a trained rehab optometrist…save some money…get better!
Thanks for sharing such important information on traumatic stress.
Great perspective, very clear. Thanks.
Well now i know I'm very traumatized
The best example and solution cure I have ever seen. Thanks
