Use of an electrotactile vestibular substitution system to facilitate balance and gait of an individual with gentamicin-induced bilateral vestibular hypofunction and bilateral transtibial amputation.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This case report describes the use of an electrotactile vestibular substitution system (ETVSS; BrainPort Balance Device, Wicab, Inc., Middleton, WI) to facilitate balance and gait of an individual with bilateral vestibular ... Read more...

Modulation of osteogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells by specific pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation.

30 Aug 2009 Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a promising candidate cell type for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications by virtue of their capacity for self-renewal and multipotent differentiation. Our intent was to characterize the ... Read more...

Direct activation of sparse, distributed populations of cortical neurons by electrical microstimulation.

25 Aug 2009 For over a century, electrical microstimulation has been the most direct method for causally linking brain function with behavior. Despite this long history, it is still unclear how the activity of neural populations is affected by stimulation. For ... Read more...
