Cognitive Scientists Use fMRI To Watch Brains While Eyes Search
Cognitive scientists ran an experiment to understand how the brain searches for an object with a known shape. They asked subjects to track the movement of dots, and used fMRI to see which parts of ... > 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 -
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 -
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 -

Biomedical Engineers Use Electrical Stimulus To Help Patients Lift Their Feet
Physical Therapists are helping people with central nervous system disorders learn to walk again. A wireless computer-enabled device aids those suffering from a condition called foot drop, which ... > more -
Psychologists Use fMRI To Understand Ties Between Memories And The Imagination
Psychologists have found that thought patterns used to recall the past and imagine the future are strikingly similar. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging to show the brain at work, they have ... > 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 -
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 -
MRIs Peek into the Brains of Synesthesia Patients
Cognitive neuroscientists have now documented hundreds of cases of synesthesia -- the condition in which one sense triggers the response of a different one. Using functional magnetic resonance ... > 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
