Systems and methods for improving behavioral therapies encompassing therapies wherein a perceptual stimulus is administered to a subject or a motor behavior is performed by the subject. Such administration of perceptual stimuli or motor performance is paired with the delivery of vagus nerve stimulation to the subject. The vagus nerve stimulation is timed with the sensory stimulus administration or motor performance in a temporal alignment that maximizes neuroplasticity and performance. Systems for performance of the method and associated software are also disclosed

A gait training device includes at least one surface electrode attached adjacent an identified muscle group of a user. The surface electrode measures muscle activity as electromyogram levels (EMG). First and second footswitch units have at least one footswitch disposed at an identified location adjacent the user's feet. First and second telemetry units are provided that attach to the legs of the user and are connected to the surface electrodes and the footswitch units. A computer has a connected telemetry data receiving device, audio and video output capabilities, data storage, computational capabilities and input devices. A computer program uses data from both footswitches and the at least one surface electrode to develop feedback information for the user that includes real-time data relating to muscle activity (EMG) that is correctly-timed, but excessive in amplitude, muscle activity that is correctly-timed, but with insufficient force and muscle activity that is out-of-phase or equinas.
