Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a robotic optical microscopy system which enables users to simultaneously view and record separate areas of a single three-dimensional sample.
Over 1 in 3 people are affected by neurological conditions worldwide. Pharmacological and surgical treatment options may be limited due to access, side effects, and reduced therapeutic efficacy.
Stanford scientists have developed a lightweight, wearable multichannel NMES system that provides real-time, AI-driven gait assistance and muscle strengthening — with a particular focus on children with walking disabilities.
Stanford researchers have developed an innovative, integrated diagnostic and therapeutic focused ultrasound (FUS) platform that non-invasively targets peripheral nerves to produce temporary, reversible nerve blockade for acute and chronic pain management.
Stanford scientists have discovered that theta oscillations in the anterior cingulate cortex can detect empathic states, and that targeting the upstream orexin circuit can modulate empathy-related behaviors.
Stanford researchers at the Chichilnisky lab have patented an artificial retina framework for dynamic electrical stimulation to improve the performance of electronic visual implants.
Stanford scientists have developed an optical imaging system that enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple neural signals across large brain regions with high temporal and spatial resolution.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a novel endoscopic system for electrical stimulation and signal recording of olfactory tissue through a minimally invasive nasal approach.
Stanford Artificial Retina Project researchers have developed an ASIC Retina Chip that interfaces with retinal ganglion cells to restore vision in patients with retinal degeneration.
Stanford researchers have developed a system that assesses altered mental states in both human and animal subjects using neural biomarkers, allowing for repeatable cross-species studies of potential treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Stanford researchers have patented methods to improve phagocytosis, the process by which macrophages clear protein aggregates, dying cells, and debris, to treat age-related diseases.
