Good Vibrations
How and where the brain forms associations between sensation and action are crucial questions in the field of cognitive neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, add to an already impressive body of work elucidating the neural mechanisms responsible for forming categorical decisions about vibrotactile stimuli that guide behavior. Here they show that single neurons in premotor cortex represent, rem...
متن کاملNot so good vibrations
Pliny the Elder was one of the first to record it 2,000 years ago: termites are noisy eaters. Their loud chewing generates acoustic emissions that have been proposed to be a method of detecting cryptic attack. But a team from the Commonwealth worker termites might be able to detect vibration/acoustic signals generated by their foraging and use these signals to determine the size of the piece of...
متن کاملElectromagnetic energy harvester with repulsively stacked multilayer magnets for low frequency vibrations
This paper investigates the applicability of an electromagnetic generator with repulsively stacked magnets for harvesting energy from traffic induced bridge vibrations. First, the governing equation for electromechanical coupling is presented. The magnetic field for repulsive pole arrangements is discussed and the model is validated from magnet falling test. The detailed design, fabrication, an...
متن کاملPerformance of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester under Vibrations Taken from a Helicopter
This paper compares performance of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester, in terms of output power, under different types of vibration. The most common method used to characterize a vibration energy harvester is to excite the energy harvester under a sinusoidal vibration of its resonant frequency and measure the voltage across certain electrical loads. However, in practical applications, t...
متن کاملPrestin and the good vibrations
In a recent paper published in the Biochemical Journal, Lolli et al. presented evidence that the C-terminal STAS (sulfate transporter and anti-sigma factor antagonist) domain of the motor protein prestin possesses an anion-binding site. This discovery might shed light on an aspect of the function of this mysterious and fascinating protein that is crucial for the human hearing system.
