Human epileptic photosensitivity has been studied in several ways. (a) Visual stimulation that resembles the stimulation normally responsible for seizures, such as that from televisions or videogames, both of which typically use cathode ray tubes in which the display is created in a flickering pattern. Such stimulation is often rendered yet more epileptogenic by programmes with content that als...

Based on an analysis of current literature, this work deals with mechanisms of intoxication and detoxication during the aging process, as well as prospects for applying enterosorption as a detoxication technique for prolonging life. Enterosorption belongs to scientific field in which Russian researchers are ahead of others. Therefore, the most interesting results have been obtained by them (inc...

When I arrived at the University of Oregon as a freshman in 2012, I was a biochemistry major with medical school in my sights. During the week of orientation, I met freshman with similar professional goals—doctor, nurse, physical therapist— who were human physiology (HPHY) majors. I researched the HPHY program just enough to know I liked it more than biochemistry, and I somewhat hastily switche...

We propose a novel system that incorporates physiological monitoring as part of the human–computer interface. The sensing element is a thermal camera that is employed as a computer peripheral. Through bioheat modeling of facial imagery almost the full range of vital signs can be extracted, including localize blood flow, cardiac pulse, and breath rate. This physiological information can then be ...
