Researchers at Stanford University have found that recombinant osteopontin (SPP1) protein reduces foreign body response (FBR) and thereby facilitates successful integration and function of implantable devices.
Researchers in Prof. Paul George's laboratory have patented a conductive polymer scaffold designed to electrically stimulate neural progenitor cells (NPCs) for enhanced neural regeneration.
Brief Description: Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel fiber-optic technology to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and immunity to motion artifacts that can be used in freely moving animals.
Inventors at Stanford have developed a novel strategy to perform concurrent fluorescence measurements of multiple biological parameters in freely moving and head-restrained animals.
Researchers in the Noh Lab have developed a gait based, emotion recognition system using geophone sensors that are attached to the floor. People's gait changes under various emotions creating distinct structural vibration patterns.
Aging is one of the leading causes that is associated with brain dysfunction, degeneration, and disease. Progressive inflammation in the brain due to age adversely affects brain function and increases susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.
The Tass Lab has invented non-invasive, Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (vCR) stimulation devices and methods to safely and efficiently treat brain disorders characterized by abnormal neuronal synchrony such as Parkinson's disease.
Stanford researchers have developed a method for targeted focused ultrasound application to peripheral nerves to suppress acute pain. This invention can non-invasively concentrate ultrasound waves onto peripheral nerves without impacting surrounding tissue.
Stanford researchers have created a novel wearable device and system to assess fatigue on the user based on electrical activity associated with an eye blink of the subject.
Stanford inventors have created a novel, interactive, highly scalable computational approach for representing dynamic brain activity as a network for use in clinical settings.
Stanford inventors have developed an information theoretic, seizure detection algorithm for electroencephalography (EEG) towards improving diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with epilepsy.
Stanford researchers from the Khuri-Yakub group have designed an improved, high spatial resolution ultrasonic neuromodulation device that implements chip waveform instead of continuous wave PIRF.
The blood-brain barrier is a huge challenge when it comes to the delivery of therapeutic proteins to treat genetic diseases, injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.
