Sentences with phrase «for microelectrode»

Not exact matches

Researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering have developed thin, flexible polymer - based materials for use in microelectrode arrays that record activity more deeply in the brain and with more specific placement than ever before.

Also, the team plans to create devices with even higher density, including a double - sided microelectrode array with 64 electrodes per tine instead of eight — making for a total of around 4,000 electrodes placed in the brain at once.

For example, in nonhuman primates, stimulation using microelectrodes improved face categorization (Afraz et al., 2006), modulated motion perception with great specificity (Fetsch et al., 2014), and increased the learning rate during a reinforcement learning task (Williams and Eskandar, 2006).

Through «heart - on - a-chip» technology — modeling a human heart on an engineered chip and measuring the effects of compound exposure using microelectrodes — Lawrence Livermore researchers hope to ensure potentially lifesaving new drugs are safe and effective while reducing the need for human and animal testing.

Through «heart - on - a-chip» technology — modeling a human heart on an engineered chip and measuring the effects of compound exposure on functions of heart tissue using microelectrodes — Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers hope to decrease the time needed for new drug trials and ensure potentially lifesaving drugs are safe and effective while reducing the need for human and animal testing.
