Application Briefs: AR/AI
Moving forward, the lines between PLCs, edge devices, and cloud systems will continue to blur. The most successful manufacturers will be those who can seamlessly integrate these technologies, creating a unified system that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Read on to learn more.
Briefs: Robotics, Automation & Control
A research team created a noninvasive electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor that was installed in a Meta VR headset that can be worn comfortably for long periods. The EEG measures the brain’s electrical activity during the immersive VR interactions. Read on to learn more.
5 Ws: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Rice University engineers have developed the smallest implantable brain stimulator demonstrated in a human patient that could revolutionize treatment for drug-resistant depression and other psychiatric or neurological disorders.
Briefs: AR/AI
Mimicking the easy, instantaneous image processing power of the human eye, Penn State electrical engineering researchers created a metasurface, an optical element akin to a glass slide that uses tiny nanostructures, placed at different angles to control light.
Briefs: Imaging
MIT researchers have developed a camera-based touch sensor that is long, curved, and shaped like a human finger. Their device provides high-resolution tactile sensing over a large area. The sensor, called the GelSight Svelte, uses two mirrors to reflect and refract light.
Briefs: Medical
A brain-machine interface coupled with robot offers increased benefits for stroke survivors.
NASA Spinoff: Wearables
Resulting in applications once thought impossible, sensor technology for understanding mind-body interface builds on research for space travel.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
This set of oculomotor metrics provide valid and reliable measures of dynamic visual performance.
Briefs: Imaging
Combining high-speed camera and interferometer technology enables the detection of electrical pulses travelling through nerve cells.
NASA Spinoff: Aerospace
Inspired by NASA’s research of certain segments of DNA to estimate radiation damage, Promega Corp. used the technique to create its own diagnostic test which is used to customize cancer treatment.
Briefs: Materials
Adding a flexible backing to this kind of brain-computer interface allows the device to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved surface and to more uniformly distribute the microneedles that pierce the cortex.
