Experimental Magnetic Pulses May Help Heal A Brain After Stroke

 

Recent testing has found that placing electromagnetic coils against the scalp stimulates brain cells to “form new connections, allowing the brain to rewire itself to compensate for damage caused by a stroke.” In Italy, researchers looked at patients with hemispatial neglect, a common problem with stroke victims where they are “unable to see or recognize anything on one side of … [Read more...]

New Airport Body Scanner Software Increases False Alarms

 

France and Germany have decided to forgo the millimeter-wave scanners because of false alarms triggered by folds in clothing, buttons and even sweat. In Germany, the false positive rate was 54 percent, meaning that every other person who went through the scanner had to undergo at least a limited pat-down that found nothing. For the millimeter-wave machines, a complicating … [Read more...]
