New technologies can greatly advance research in various fields, including medicine and neuroscience. In recent years, for instance, engineers have created increasingly sophisticated devices to record brain activity and other ...
The hippocampus is a major region in the brain of vertebrates known to play a key role both in navigation and the encoding of memories and learning. While many neuroscience studies have investigated this brain region's function ...
The real-time monitoring of intravascular oxygen levels is important to accurately track the cardiopulmonary health of patients after cardiothoracic surgery. Existing methods use intravascular placement of glass fiber-optic ...
Implantable neuromodulation devices such as deep brain stimulators and vagus nerve stimulators, are widely used to treat neurological diseases. Most devices are composed of rigid probes that limit spatial resolution and increase ...
A multi-institution research effort led by Harvard Medical School, Boston, has looked into the safety and efficacy of excluding aspirin from the treatment of patients with advanced heart failure receiving a fully magnetically ...
Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying for decades to better understand how humans make decisions, in the hope to devise more effective interventions to promote healthy and beneficial lifestyle choices. Two brain ...
Two significant factors have hampered the age of human-integrated cybernetics. One, humans can interact well with electronic devices without needing to implant them. Nearly all cybernetic human-machine interactions can be ...
Implantable deep brain stimulators can help many people with neurological and psychiatric disease when traditional treatments fail. But surgery every time the batteries need to be changed is a major drawback. Now, UConn researchers ...
