Closed-Loop Brain Imaging May Improve Pilot Training
The results, recently published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroergonomics, suggest that fNIRS-informed training can improve the way we evaluate individual performance for mission-critical essential workers.
COULD AN INJECTION REPAIR CARTILAGE AND PREVENT SURGERY IN OSTEOARTHRITIS PATIENTS?
What if a treatment could prevent tissue damage from becoming a serious osteoarthritis case months, or even decades later? This is the challenge being tackled by researchers at Drexel’s School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, in conjunction with researchers at Villanova University, University of Delaware and Tulane University, recently published in ACS Nano.
The Measure of a Dancer
A spin, a lift, the tilt of a leg, the extension of an arm – dance can be broken down into its elemental form, but the ability to combine those elements to produce a beautiful […]
How Drexel Scientists are Communicating Their Research
Being able to effectively communicate scientific ideas and results — without muddled jargon getting in the way — is essential for sound public decision-making. Most academic research is funded with taxpayer dollars, after all. And […]
Media Watch: What Happens to Your Body Before a Car Crash?
In one basement lab at Drexel University, undergraduate Evan Bisirri is instructed to strap in and hold on tight as he seats himself inside a crash-test simulator. A wild ride is about to begin. But […]
Snapshot: Researchers Showcase Wound Healing Patch on Capitol Hill
For millions of Americans suffering from chronic wounds, a wearable patch — powered by inaudible sound waves — could offer a life-changing solution. That’s the story Drexel University researchers told legislators, scientists and industry partners […]
Deleting This Fatty Acid Receptor Helps Mice Recover From Spinal Cord Injury
Researchers from Drexel University and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have discovered a new target for treating spinal cord injury. In a recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the scientists […]
In Paris, Drexel Co-Hosts World’s First Neuroergonomics Conference
A fatigued business executive drives home on a stormy night after a trying workday. An anesthesiologist fails to notice a dangerous change in her patient’s vital signs while attending a long, complex surgery. An air […]
Inside Drexel’s Morgue for Failed Joint Implants
Like coroners investigating a suspicious death, the biomedical engineers at Drexel’s Implant Research Center carefully pour over each palm-sized ball, cylinder and screw that is delivered to 3401 Market Street. Their job is to […]
