New engineering methods turn medical scans into plastic replicas
A method of integrating medical imaging with engineering design has been developed by a University of Sussex engineer. Dr Panos Diamantopoulos is confident that his three-dimensional patient-specific replicas, manufactured by a process known as rapid prototyping, will become invaluable tools to health professionals for diagnosis, surgical... view more...

CultureLab News - May computer games special
During May 2002 the British Council's Culturelab-uk.com forum gives users the chance to pitch their own questions to revolutionary computer games developer, Peter Molyneux, whose company Lionhead forged a whole new gaming territory with its game Black And White. This special edition of Culture Lab, devoted to gaming, features an exclusive... view more... (2002-05-16)
Using Synthetic Evolution to Study the Brain: Researchers Model Key Part of Neurons
The human brain has evolved over millions of years to become a vast network of billions of neurons and synaptic connections. Understanding it is one of humankind's greatest pursuits. view more (2009-10-05)
Treating multiple brain tumors with radiosurgery results in improved survival
Treating four or more brain tumors in a single radiosurgery session resulted in improved survival compared to whole brain radiation therapy alone. view more (2005-10-19)
Researchers develop new method for studying 'mental time travel'
Neuroscientists at Princeton University have developed a new way of tracking people's mental state as they think back to previous events - a process that has been described as "mental time travel." view more (2005-12-23)
Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer models of circuits in the human brain and they can... view more... (2003-04-16)
New computer program uses brain scans to assess risk of Alzheimer's
New York University School of Medicine researchers have developed a brain scan-based computer program that quickly and accurately measures metabolic activity in a key region of the brain affected in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-06-20)
Computer Model Predicts Brain Tumor Growth and Evolution
Researchers from Brown University and other institutions have developed a computational computer model of how brain tumors grow and evolve. view more (2009-05-19)
Tracing broken wiring in stroke patients
Researchers have used a technique to trace the functional disruption in brain circuitry that causes stroke patients to show a lack of awareness or response to the side of the body opposite to the side of the stroke lesion in the brain. view more (2007-03-15)
Study provides new insights into brain organisation
Scientists have provided new insights into how the brain is organised-knowledge which could eventually inform diagnosis of and treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's Disease and autism. view more (2006-08-02)
Pedophilia may be the result of faulty brain wiring
Pedophilia might be the result of faulty connections in the brain, according to new research released by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). view more (2007-11-28)
Computer Based Model Helps Radiologists Diagnose Breast Cancer
Radiologists have developed a computer based model that aids them in discriminating between benign and malignant breast lesions, according to a study performed at the University Of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison, WI. view more (2009-04-06)
Computer vision
Widespread crime and the rise of global terrorism have meant that security systems need to incorporate sophisticated and rapid computer recognition of human faces, as delegates will hear next week at the British Machine Vision Conference being held at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Another side of the same coin is in making human faces that... view more... (2003-09-02)
Researchers demonstrate direct brain control of humanoid robot
A classic science-fiction scene shows a person wearing a metal skullcap with electrodes sticking out to detect the person's thoughts. Another sci-fi movie standard depicts robots doing humans' bidding. Now the two are combined, and in real life: University of Washington researchers can control the movement of a humanoid robot with signals from a... view more... (2006-12-18)
UAB Researchers Draft 3-D Protein Map
A new three-dimensional computer protein map is helping researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) unravel the biological pathways that control brain-cell death after a stroke. view more (2009-06-25)
Looking for something? Surprising number of neurons help find it, research shows
A person searching for a ripe tomato at the grocery store is more likely to notice apples, strawberries and other red fruits as well. view more (2007-07-19)
Brain-computer link allows paralyzed patient to manipulate devices by thought
A patient with a spinal cord injury was able to produce brain signals associated with intending to move his paralyzed limbs, signals picked up by an implanted sensor and translated into electronic impulses that allowed him to control a computer cursor and manipulate mechanical devices. view more (2006-07-13)
Epilepsy and brain pathology linked together by the protein ADK
The brain of individuals who suffer from epilepsy is characterized by astrogliosis, a brain pathology evidenced by a complex series of changes in the morphology and function of brain cells known as astrocytes. view more (2008-01-03)
New microchip design could be the key to expanding mobile phone memory
Mobile phones could one day have the memory capacity of a desktop computer thanks to a microchip that mimics the functioning of the brain, scientists report today (9 September) in the journal Science. view more (2005-09-09)
Research has shed light on the computer frustrations that plague older adults
A number of evolving social changes highlight the importance of making computer technology accessible and usable for older adults. For instance, older adults are using email increasingly to keep up their social contact with others and are using the Internet to look up health information. view more (2007-03-19)
