According to a systemic review of population-based data sets relevant to global vision impairment and or blindness between 1980 in 2015, there is an estimated 36 million people who suffer from blindness [4]. An additional ...
The Circle of Willis is a network of internal carotid arteries, basilar arteries, and vertebral arteries all coming together to perfuse the brain with blood. In the event that stenosis occludes part of the circle, the ...
Machine learning techniques have been utilized to predict the outcome of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment in depression, e.g., through classifying the responders (R) and non-responders (NR) to ...
Mental fatigue is defined as a “state of reduced mental alertness that impairs performance” It affects nearly everyone in society at some point and has become one of the leading causes of workplace accidents [2]. Common ...
epileptic seizure is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal activity of nerve cells in the brain. Epileptic seizures may happen while the patient is awake or asleep, and may cause loss of consciousness, falling, or ...
Surgeons have demonstrated common issues when in procedures. MR and
AR utilization have recently been implemented into the medical field.
Headsets like the HoloLens give advantages that are able to benefit both the
patient ...
This literature review discusses how researchers can control cardiac cells with neural networks. The cardiac system is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and coordinates with the respiratory system. Numerous ...
The focus of this review is neuroscience research using robots programmed to navigate spatial environments using methods based on animal cognition. The use of cognition-based methods in robot navigation has multiple ...
Optogenetics is an innovative neuromodulation technique involving the use of light and light-sensitive proteins to control molecular events within a genetically modified cell. The fundamental mechanism behind optogenetics ...
Debilitating brain trauma caused by injury or stroke, and other
neurological disorders, can hinder a person’s ability to use their hands.
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are a subject of great interest regarding
augmenting ...
Retinal implants have become a more feasible eye-corrective tool in recent years. Examples of modern retinal implants include: the Argus II electronic epiretinal device, and the IMS electronic subretinal device (Jalil, ...
Microwave radiation refers to electromagnetic waves between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. Microwaves are used in communication systems, manufacturing, medical treatments, and military operations. The ability to modify waveform ...
A leaky integrate and fire (LIF) model is a basic mathematical model designed to simulate a neuron. The simplicity and relative ease with which network architectures can be constructed using patterns of LIF neurons make ...
When an individual suffers nerve damage as a result of a stroke or
severe trauma, their quality of life suffers greatly. In many cases, this can
lead to paralysis of limbs due to peripheral nerve damage. To improve
mobility ...
Bi-directional exchange of information between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and a computer interface can be achieved through the use of a peripheral nerve interface (PNI). Sophisticated PNI’s can be used to augment ...
There are several different retinal diseases prominent within the United
States including
age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
These three particular retinal diseases affect a total ...
Anosmia is an olfactory disease that is associated with the inability to smell. This disease affects 3-20% of the population, consisting of younger as well as aged adults. Anosmia is found mostly in aged adults, that are ...
The goal of this study is to determine how the needs of those who operate upper limb prosthetics can be met so that the prosthetic retention rate is higher, reflecting an improvement in their quality of life. As we use our ...
Predicting, diagnosing, and treating neurological disease is a
significant challenge in current medical research. This review will consider
computational neuroengineering models of the brain for three specific
neurological ...
