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 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 -
Doppler Sonography Helps Psychologists Measure Attention Levels
Psychologists are finding out that even when people try to focus on a task they tend to lose concentration within 40 minutes, and sometimes as little as 10 minutes. The studies are based on a new ... > more -
Colors Are Key To Keeping Your Eyes On The Game
