Kinesiologists Design Tiny Treadmill To Help Balance Baby Steps In Downs Syndrome Infants
Kinesiologsts developed a tiny treadmill to help infants with Downs Syndrome learn to balance themselves earlier. Typically, these children learn how to walk at 24 to 28 months, later than the 12 ... > more -
Interventional Neuroradiologists Treat Brain Strokes with New Kind of Stent
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 ... > more -
Cochlear Implants Work Better If Done On Both Ears

Electrical Engineers Create Voice-controlled Mouse
Computer scientists worked with electrical engineers to move the cursor on a computer screen with the userýs voice instead of a mouse. Software interprets vocal commands to move the cursor, ... > 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 -
Radiologists Use Light To Scan The Inner Workings Of The Brain
Radiologists have developed a new device to understand brain activity. It is a collection of fiber optic cables attached to a flexible cap placed atop the head. The cables send near-infrared light ... > 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 -
