Deep brain stimulation is an emerging treatment for severe depression, but exactly how it alters the brain to relieve ...

A study by UNIGE, in collaboration with ETH Zurich, has significantly improved the accuracy of a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, paving the way for its use in the treatment of neurological ...

Belt electrode-skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) involves the use of belt-shaped electrodes to contract multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Twitch contractions have been demonstrated ...

Linköping University in Sweden scientists have created a novel soft gel electrode that might revolutionize brain stimulation. According to this Wired article, the scientists developed a gel that, when ...

Specific nerves may be stimulated artificially, for example to treat pain. The finer the nerves, the more difficult it is to attach the required electrodes. Researchers at the Technical University of ...

Flexible thin-film electrodes placed directly on brain tissue show promise for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, as demonstrated recently by scientists at Tokyo Tech. Thanks to an innovative ...

Coherence Neuro has started testing a brain-computer interface that could one day use electrical stimulation to prevent tumors from growing.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a widely used noninvasive brain stimulation technique with mixed results to date. A potential solution is to apply more efficient stimulation to ...

Electrical stimulation has proven to be a tremendous aid in many physical rehabilitation cases, as the technologically ...

Flexible thin-film electrodes placed directly on brain tissue show promise for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Thanks to an innovative yet straightforward design, these durable electrodes ...

A University of Houston engineering professor is warning that implanted cuff electrodes – widely used in therapy for epilepsy, depression and inflammatory disorders – could trigger unintended nerve ...
