Image Velocity Estimation In Echocardiographs
BACKGROUND There are many instances in which a subject in an image is moving, and it is necessary to track the subject as it moves from frame to frame; this movement is known as optical flow or image velocity. Such measurement of optical flow may be done to improve the image encoding efficiency, or allow enhancement of the display of the movement... view more... (2005-04-26)
Interactive simulator for learning how to handle an excavator. SHE
Within the framework of the Esprit European research programme, IKERLAN (a Basque Technological research Centre) is participating in the design and development of virtual reality tools that make it easier to learn how to use machines or systems. The aim of the SHE project is to develop a prototype simulator for training operators and students how... view more... (2002-08-13)
Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work
A robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system impairment, say University of Michigan researchers. view more (2007-02-12)
Naps with rapid eye movement sleep increase receptiveness to positive emotion
Naps with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep refresh the brain's empathetic sensitivity for evaluating human emotions by decreasing a negative bias and amplifying recognition of positive emotions. view more (2009-06-10)
Study uses stream fish as indicators of water quality
For many years, regulatory agencies have used chemical standards to assess water quality. view more (2005-11-01)
Fast and slow — How the spinal cord controls the speed of movement
Using a state-of-the-art technique to map neurons in the spinal cord of a larval zebrafish, Cornell University scientists have found a surprising pattern of activity that regulates the speed of the fish's movement. view more (2007-03-01)
When cancer cells can't let go
Like a climber scaling a rock face, a migrating cancer cell has to keep a tight grip on the surface but also let go at the right moment to move ahead. view more (2009-04-14)
Flight of the bumble (and honey) bee
Insects such as honeybees and bumble bees are predictable in the way they move among flowers, typically moving directly from one flower to an adjacent cluster of flowers in the same row of plants. view more (2009-03-23)
Institute for Animal Health at the BA: the changing world of animal disease
Where do new diseases come from and how do they spread? The Institute for Animal Health will address these questions at the BA Festival of Science on Tuesday 09 September. A press conference will be held at 1100 hrs in the Newton Building, University of Salford. view more (2003-09-01)
Can you hear me now? How the inner ear's sensors are made
A UCLA study shows for the first time how microscopic crystals form sound and gravity sensors inside the inner ear. Located at the ends of cilia - tiny cellular hairs in the ear that move and transmit signals - these crystals play an important role in detecting sound, maintaining balance and regulating movement. view more (2008-12-02)
Digital Coach for Olympic Swimmers?
Heidelberg. Top-flight sportspeople all have a dream - winning a gold medal. For swimmers in particular, victory or defeat is frequently decided by fractions of a second, so efficient coaching is essential. Scientists at Heidelberg`s European Media Laboratory (EML) are working on a hand-size electronic assistant that analyzes the movements of... view more... (2002-01-23)
Manchester Metropolitan University launches European research group
MANCHESTER Metropolitan University has launched Biomove - a new European research consortium based in its 5* Institute for Human Movement. The European Consortium for Research into Biological Movement (Biomove) brings together research scientists from across Europe who study the strengths and weaknesses of the human body from both athletic and... view more...

New 'eye movement' test may help treat fetal alcohol syndrome
A simple test that measures eye movement may help to identify children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and ultimately lead to improved treatment for the condition, say Queen's University researchers. view more (2005-11-14)
Researchers advance knowledge of little 'nano-machines' in our body
A discovery by Canada-U.S. biophysicists will improve the understanding of ion channels, akin to little 'nano-machines' or 'nano-valves' in our body, which when they malfunction can cause genetic illnesses that attack muscles, the central nervous system and the heart. view more (2008-12-19)
No link between epidurals and backache
Epidural pain relief during labour is not associated with long term backache, find researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-08-14)
Blindsight: How brain sees what you do not see
Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. view more (2008-10-15)
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein is dynamic, critical to DNA repair
Researchers report that a single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), once thought to be a static player among the many molecules that interact with DNA, actually moves back and forth along single-stranded DNA, gradually allowing other proteins to repair, recombine or replicate the strands. view more (2009-10-22)
New research shows slight of hand is not so slight
Typing on a keyboard or scribbling on paper may be similar activities, but there is a significant difference in how the body moves, according to new motor development research. view more (2008-04-18)
Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand. view more (2007-07-13)
Research to aid sufferers of Parkinson's Disease
Northumbria University in Newcastle is taking part in a collaborative project with European partners to advance research into Parkinson`s Disease following a contract of more than £1 million (1.6 million Euro) from the European Commission. Together with the University of Leuven, Belgium, and the Vrije University of Amsterdam in the... view more... (2002-01-24)
