... that integrates advances in medical imaging. Magnetic resonance data sets of both normal and diseased subjects were used as a virtual laboratory. Finite element simulations were performed under pathological disease states of the brain as a contribution toward an accelerated device design. An optimized sensor...

... in the range described for commercially available TMS apparatus. The maximum current density, computed 3 cm below the coil using a simple model of brain anatomy, was approximately 1.9 times the motor threshold, thus ensuring a sufficient margin for reaching the neuronal threshold in the target area. The 11...

Bikson Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive procedure where a weak electrical current (260 μA to 2 mA) is applied across the scalp to modulate brain function. tDCS has been applied for therapeutic purposes (e.g., addiction...

...) will be carried to the visual area of brain through optic nerve by the effective interaction with a number of artificial chemical synapses. Finally this silicon eye will be an effective implant for the damaged eye. And we are sure that this will be a great breakthrough in the modern medicine. 24 07 2009...

The first step to the realization of this device is a low-power, high-fidelity method for communicating between the nanoprobe and the waystation. In this abstract, we report a successful test proving the viability of using the brain...
