Baby Treadmill
Kinesiologsts developed a
tiny treadmill to help
infants with Down Syndrome
learn to balance themselves
earlier. Typically, these
children learn how to walk
at 24 to 28 months, later
than the 12 months for those

Cool School - Where Peace Rules
Human development scientists
and computer game developers
designed a video game that
teaches kids how to resolve
conflicts peacefully amongst
themselves. Inanimate
objects, such as pencils and

Learn To Read Through Sound
Cognitive neuroscientists
monitoring brain activity
with fMRI found that
children with dyslexia are
often unable to process the
fast-changing sounds used in
spoken language. Sound

Avoiding Rear-end Collisions
Psychologists studied the
way a trailing driver reacts
to a car braking directly in
front of theirs and
researchers developed an
early warning system
algorithm to prevent rear

Food Psychologist Explains The Mindless Way People Overeat
A food psychologist has found that people overeat unconsciously, due to numerous factors. Studies show that larger plates result in larger servings. Also, watching television while eating leads to ... > more -
Anesthesiologists Use Nerve Blocks As Alternative To General Anesthesia
Anesthesiologists use ultrasound to locate peripheral nerves, then inject a nerve numbing medication into the area. A single injection leaves a limb numb for several hours or a day. The medication is ... > more -
Engineers Measure Blood Alcohol Content With Spectroscopy
Using optical technology, engineers created a way to measure the amount of alcohol in a driver’s skin. They use near-infrared absorption spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol content. The light ... > more -
Computer Scientists Use Technology To Help Children With Autism
Computer scientists have devised two tools to help people interact with autistic children. Videotaping interactions allows teachers or parents to replay situations and evaluate the cause of ... > more -
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising ... > more -
Acoustic Device Allows Sound To Travel Through Bones
Otolaryngologists develop a new, implantable hearing aid. It works with a transmitter worn behind the ear that sends sound vibrations from her deaf side through the skull to her good ear. It's ... > more
