According to U.S.-based Scripps Howard News Service, therapy involving patients moving their eyes back and forth is making inroads. Stephen Christman, a psychology professor at the University of Toledo, has found a 20-30 percent memory recall improvement in patients who watched lights flashing from side-to-side on a computer screen. The research builds on a therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has been used since 1989 to help people overcome traumatic memories.
