Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

Brain-Stimulation Tools Once Limited to Researchers Are Now Reaching the Public at Home Through a First-of-Its-Kind ...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers in a project at Chalmers ...

However, with electric stimulation we can increase the speed of healing so that the diabetes-affected cells almost correspond to healthy skin cells.” Importantly, the researchers achieved these ...

Scientists have shown that mild electrical stimulation to specific brain regions can temporarily make people behave more generously, highlighting a direct ...

A new study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that the use of a take-home electrical stimulation device improved muscle perfusion, the rate at which oxygen is delivered to muscles ...

The US Food and Drug Administration is again proposing a ban on electrical stimulation devices used to reduce or stop self-injurious or aggressive behavior, the agency said in a statement Monday.

A new study suggests that a promising noninvasive brain stimulation technique may not function exactly as psychiatrists had ...
