3-D movement captured to conduct music
Imagine the sound mixing desk in a concert hall controlled not by a technician manipulating hundreds of knobs and sliders, but by pointing to speakers and changing volume and tone with the movement of an arm. This futuristic orchestra conductor is being made reality by the work of researchers in the school of music at the University of Leeds. Dr... view more... (2004-07-06)
More than aiding balance, vestibular organs provide an on-line movement guidance system
Anyone who's had to find his or her way through a darkened room can appreciate that nonvisual cues play a large role in our sense of movement. view more (2005-08-09)
In the loop: Scientists reveal how signals travel through rat's whiskers
Like blind peoples' fingers, rats use their whiskers to engage in active sensing - a combination of movement and touch - when trying to figure out the location and identity of a certain object. view more (2006-05-17)
DO VARICOSE VEINS HAVE SYMPTOMS?
Tens of thousands of varicose vein operations are performed in the UK each year. Varicose veins are thought to be responsible for lower limb symptoms including heaviness, swelling, cramps and tingling. The presence of one or more of these symptoms, along with evidence of abnormal blood movement in leg veins, may be considered an indication for... view more... (1999-02-02)
New Technology Opens Up PC World To Disabled
Researchers at the University of Ulster have developed new technology that could revolutionize the quality of life for the disabled. The Look Device allows individuals with severe physical impairments to control the operation of a computer cursor solely with the movement of their eyes. A set of customised spectacles, with built in sensors,... view more... (2002-11-12)
Quicker and easier rehabilitation following a stroke
By artificially vibrating certain muscle parts, the brain areas and neuronal pathways responsible for movement can be trained. This has the potential to help stroke patients recover their mobility more quickly. These are the results of PhD research by Maarten Steyvers of the Department of Kinesiology, K.U.Leuven. view more (2004-06-11)
Our visual system may react more rapidly when visualising 2 objects which might collide
International research co-led by professor Alejandro Maiche, of the Department of Basic, Evolutionary and Educational Psychology at the UAB, has put forward the hypothesis that the brain responds to the possibility that two objects might collide, in a different way to how it would react to two objects in movement with divergent trajectories. view more (2007-09-14)
Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." view more (2009-08-05)
The anti-consumption movement: Researchers examine resistance to global brands
What motivates people to rebel against global brands-or consumption in general? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research examines the connection between nationalism and the anti-consumption movement in India. view more (2009-06-16)
Beating the thieves with location tracking
Police aim to 'design out' crime by equipping valuable items with tracking devices that sound an alert or record their movement. They are being helped by electronic engineers at the University of Leeds who are devising a way of locating objects using widely-available technology. view more (2004-07-05)
Study suggests new way to screen infants for fetal alcohol syndrome
Children who have been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) are more likely to have serious psychiatric and behavioral problems later in life, including a higher risk for dropping out of school, unemployment, and criminal behavior. view more (2008-03-06)
Metastatic movements in 3-D
Caswell et al.report in the Journal of Cell Biology how the altered behavior of integrins can prompt metastatic movement in tumor cells. view more (2008-10-06)
Defective movement of cell's power plants implicated in commom inherited neurological disorder
Contrary to previous thinking, the inefficient movement of cell's "power plants" -- the mitochondria -- within a cell, rather than their low energy production, may be a contributing factor in the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), new research shows. view more (2007-01-17)
Textured insoles could prevent common sporting ankle and foot injuries
Textured insoles in boots and sports shoes could prevent the all too common foot and ankle injuries that plague sport, suggests research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Conventional boots and sports shoes, with a smooth insole, mask vital sensory cues to the extremely sensitive soles of the feet. These relay information about pressure... view more... (2003-03-28)
Researchers Find Eye Movement Can Affect Problem-solving, Cognition
A pair of Beckman Institute researchers has discovered that by directing the eye movements of test subjects they were able to affect the participants' ability to solve a problem, demonstrating that eye movement is not just a function of cognition but can actually affect our cognitive processes. view more (2007-09-25)
GPS-like technology helps pinpoint best methods for moving injured players
The 15 minutes it took to remove Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett off the field after he suffered a spinal cord injury may seem like a long time for someone needing acute medical care, but in fact, those minutes underscore how critical it is to carefully move a player with a suspected spinal cord injury off the field. view more (2007-09-17)
Common treatment for methamphetamine overdose may damage brain cells
A common antipsychotic drug used in emergency rooms to treat methamphetamine overdose damages nerve cells in an area of the brain known to regulate movement, a new study shows. view more (2007-05-30)
Rong Li Lab probes mechanism of asymmetry in meiotic cell division
The Stowers Institute's Rong Li Lab has characterized a mechanism that allows for asymmetrical cell division during meiosis in oocytes. By tracking chromosome movement in live mouse oocytes, the team discovered that chromosomes can recruit to their vicinity a protein called formin-2. view more (2008-10-08)
A walking robot goes mountaineering
The human gait is a marvel of coordination. All aspects of movement control - from the angle of the knee joints to the momentum of the hip up to the balance point of the torso - need to be meticulously adjusted. view more (2007-07-13)
Colorful spy tactics track live cells supporting cancerous tumors
A new advance in cellular imaging is allowing scientists to better understand the movement of cells in the area around tumors, also known as the tumor microenvironment. view more (2008-09-17)
