Tremor Suppression by Rhythmic Transcranial Current Stimulation
Tremor can dominate Parkinson's disease and yet responds less well to dopaminergic medications than do other cardinal symptoms of this condition. Deep brain stimulation can provide striking tremor relief, but the introduction of stimulating electrodes deep in the substance of the brain carries significant risks, including those of hemorrhage. Here, we pioneer an alternative approach in which we...
متن کاملProliferation and viability of adherent cells manipulated by standing-wave ultrasound in a microfluidic chip.
Ultrasonic-standing-wave (USW) technology has potential to become a standard method for gentle and contactless cell handling in microfluidic chips. We investigate the viability of adherent cells exposed to USWs by studying the proliferation rate of recultured cells following ultrasonic trapping and aggregation of low cell numbers in a microfluidic chip. The cells form 2-D aggregates inside the ...
متن کاملElimination of standing wave effects in ultrasound radiation force excitation in air using random carrier frequency packets.
The ultrasound radiation force has been used for noncontact excitation of devices ranging from microcantilevers to acoustic guitars. For ultrasound radiation force excitation, one challenge is formation of standing waves between the ultrasound transducer and the device under test. Standing waves result in constructive/destructive interference causing significant variations in the intensity of t...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler ultrasound.
Transcranial Doppler ultrasound allows measurements of blood flow velocity to be made from the basal intracerebral vessels. The major advantages of transcranial Doppler ultrasound are that it is non-invasive, relatively cheap, can be performed with portable machines, allows monitoring for prolonged periods, and has a high temporal resolution making it ideal for studying dynamic cerebrovascular ...
متن کاملStanding-wave interferometer
An interferometric position sensor was developed using the concept of sampling a standing wave. Interference of a standing wave created in front of a plane mirror can be detected by thin, partly transparent sensors based on amorphous silicon. The optical thickness of the absorption layer is thinner than the wavelength l of the incident light. Detection of minima and maxima of the standing wave ...
