1. A method of using an apparatus for implementing a training regime having a stimulator and an input device, for remediating exaggerated responses associated with a supergroup of neurons in an individual with an associated with impaired modality, the method comprising:

  • a) selecting a first stimulus substantially corresponding to a first boundary of the supergroup of neurons;

    b) providing said first stimulus using the stimulator;

    c) receiving feedback from the individual via the input device indicating the intensity of the individual'"'"'s response to the first stimulus; and

    d) adaptively repeating b and c while modifying the first stimulus based on feedback from c, thereby gradually reducing the sensitivity of the supergroup while avoiding an exaggerated response to the first stimulus.
