Multi-Contact Force-Sensing Guitar for Training and Therapy

Hand injuries from repetitive high-strain and physical overload can hamper or even end a musician's career. To help musicians develop safer playing habits, we developed a multiplecontact force-sensing array that can substitute as a guitar fretboard. The system consists of 72 individual force sensing modules, each containing a flexure and a photointerrupter that measures the corresponding deflection when forces are applied. The system is capable of measuring forces between 0-25 N applied anywhere within the first 12 frets at a rate of 20 Hz with an average accuracy of 0.4 N and a resolution of 0.1 N. Accompanied with a GUI, the resulting prototype was received positively as a useful tool for learning and injury prevention by novice and expert musicians.Comment: IEEE Sensor Conference, 201

What does the water inside the brain tell us? Diffusion tensor imaging

The humanbrain consists of about 75 percent water. Diffusion tensorimaging (DTI) is an advanced magnetic resonance (MR) technique imaging that hasbeen developed for diagnostic and research in medicine. It can be use DTItractography to better understand degenerating axons of white matter lesions insome neurological diseases such as MS, AD, trauma, cerebral ischemia, epilepsy,brain tumors and metabolic disorders.</p
