Inside the Brain
Children who have
speech-impairing strokes
often learn to talk again,
while adult stroke victims
can lose their verbal
abilities for good. By
giving reading and verbal
tests inside the MRI,

Stroke Stopper
A new "wingspan" stent helps
restore blood flow for
patients with intracranial
atherosclerotic disease, or
ICAD. Surgeons insert the
stent up the leg arteries,
guide it to the brain, then
let its wire mesh expand,

Cochlear Implants Work Better If Done On Both Ears
Unlike other acoustical devices such as hearing aids, which just amplify sounds, cochlear implants mimic what happens inside the ear, changing sound waves into electrical signals sent to the brain. ... > more -
Psychologists, Human-Factors Engineers Design Computer-Generated Educational Outings
Psychologists Janis Cannon-Bowers and Alicia Sanchez are part of the team that created virtual reality field trips -- not just for fun, but to help children learn. Employing some of the latest ... > more -
Acousticians Improve Sound Quality of Cochlear Implants
In a new study, 34 normal-hearing and 18 cochlear-implant subjects were tested on three speech-perception tasks known to be notoriously difficult for cochlear-implant users: speech recognition with a ... > more -
Neurologists Use New Brain Scanning Device To Better Control Seizures
Doctors are now using a new kind of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures brain activity in real time. In some cases, MEG can pinpoint the source of an epileptic seizure much ... > more -
