Simulating Impaired Reflexes Teaches Effects of Drunk Driving
Health educators can now give students a realistic taste of the perils of drunk driving, using a DUI simulator. Special go-carts delay the reaction of the brake and gas pedals and exaggerate the ... > more -
Exhibit Delves into Science of Taste and Smell
An exhibit at San Francisco's Exploratorium explains the science of cooking and eating, and in particular how we taste food. Our sense of taste comes from a combination of smell receptors in the nose ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
A new brain-imaging method allows physicians to diagnose Alzheimer's before its onset. A radioactive dye is injected in the blood and travels to the brain, where it attaches to plaque deposits of ... > more -
Neurosurgeons Cut Surgical Procedure Time with New Device
In a method called deep brain stimulation, certain movement disorders are treated by implanting wires in the brain that deliver electrical signals. The surgical procedure can last up to eight hours, ... > more -
Neurologists Combine Electric Stimuli with Excercise to Reverse Paralysis
Paraplegic patients who still have some active nerve endings in their legs can find major improvements with a new therapy. During rehabilitation on a bicycle, special pads send electrical pulses that ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Develop Glove That Translates Sign Language
A new high-tech glove enables the translation of sign language into written text, facilitating communication for the hearing or speech impaired. The glove senses movements of the hand and fingers, ... > more -

Software Engineers Develop Biofeedback Method for Singing Lessons
Keeping a beat or staying on-key can be acquired skills. Software engineers have designed a new software package to make that easier, turning your computer into a singing teacher. The system plots ... > more -
Incubator Enables MRI Scans on Preemies for Preventing Birth Asphyxia
Designed by a team of doctors, nurses, and engineers, a specially designed incubator allows premature babies to receive MRI scans to assess their health. The scans can measure many indicators, such ... > more -
Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
Building upon a recent discovery that the same Alzheimer's disease process that goes on in the brain also occurs in the eye, researchers have developed a pair of optical tests that can determine the ... > more -
Cardiologists Employ Biomedical Engineering to Safeguard Heart Patients
To prevent strokes in at-risk patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm, researchers have devised a mechanical alternative to common drug treatments. In the procedure, ... > more
