A new tool to model peripheral nerve stimulation rapidly discovered optimal electrical waveforms (white traces) which, when delivered through the metal contacts of a cuff electrode placed on the vagus ...

Scientists have detailed a less invasive method of neural stimulation that would use an untethered ultrasmall electrode activated by light, a technique that may mitigate damage done by current methods ...

Imagine having an electrode embedded in your brain in a surgical procedure that involves drilling holes in your skull to implant it. Now imagine going through an MRI scan for medical evaluation, when ...

A new neurostimulator developed by engineers at UC Berkeley can listen to and stimulate electric current in the brain at the same time, potentially delivering fine-tuned treatments to patients with ...

The same electrode technology could be used to stimulate specific locations in the brain to study epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Biomedical engineers at the Lawrence Livermore National ...

Lillian Tarr, a 58-year-old nurse, was lying down for meditation at the end of a yoga class last March when she felt a headache coming on. She remembers thinking she would need to take a Tylenol when ...
