1. Apparatus for the enhancement of neurophysiological processes of a patient by the stimulation of receptive cell fields in the visual pathways of the patient between the retina and the visual cortex, the apparatus including first visual display means for viewing by said patient and computer processing means producing an output to said first visual display means to cause a display on said visual display means, said display including at least one visual cognitive exertion exercise and at least one visual stimulation image including one or more therapeutic display elements targeted to stimulate selected ones of said receptive cell fields, said therapeutic display elements including one or more moving contrast edges, wherein said therapeutic display elements are displayed on said visual display means so as to provide therapeutic stimulation to said receptive cell fields of a patient whilst said patient is performing said cognitive exertion exercise;

  • further including second visual display means to be viewed by a therapist and therapist input means allowing said therapist to provide inputs to said processing means to vary said display;

    further including feedback means providing an indication of said patient'"'"'s performance to said computer processing means, and means for indicating said performance on said second visual display means; and

    further including means for varying the display on said first visual display means to optimise said patient'"'"'s brain response.
