Monitoring and Visualizing Brain Activity in Real-time During Brain Surgery

A thin film that combines an electrode grid and LEDs can both track and produce a visual representation of the brain’s activity in real-time during surgery — a huge improvement over the current state of the art. Watch the video to see how the device provides neurosurgeons visual information about a patient’s brain to monitor brain states during surgical interventions to remove brain lesions including tumors and epileptic tissue.

Looking for Deep Brain Activation? Meet ImPULS

Precise neurostimulation has potential to revolutionize therapies for neurological disorders. However, current neural interfaces targeting the deep brain face significant limitations in spatial resolution and potency due to tissue attenuation. Watch this video to learn more about an implantable piezoelectric ultrasound stimulator (ImPULS) that generates an ultrasonic focal pressure of 100 kPa to modulate the activity of neurons.

Digital 3D Images for Better Cancer Diagnoses

Using an approach that combines technologies from biomedicine and mechanical engineering, researchers have developed a robotic platform that diagnoses cancer more accurately and provides three-dimensional information about the cells’ spatial arrangement. Watch the video to see how platform rapidly quantifying tissue samples in their entirety.

AiSee: AI-Powered Vision for the Visually Impaired

Researchers develop AI-powered ‘eye’ for visually impaired people to ‘see’ objects. With AiSee, our aim is to empower users with more natural interaction. By following a human-centered design process, we found reasons to question the typical approach of using glasses augmented with a camera. Watch the video to learn more.
