(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Adhesion-based cell capture on surfaces in microfluidic devices forms the basis of numerous biomedical diagnostics and in vitro assays. Solid surface microfluidic platforms have been widely explored for biomedical diagnostics ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system that predisposes individuals to experiencing recurrent seizures. It affects 3 million Americans and 50 million people world-wide. A seizure is a transient ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Accurate sensory perception in noisy environments requires physiological mechanisms that reduce sensory interference. In the auditory system, it has been hypothesized that attentional control of cochlear responses to sound ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Proteomics has been revolutionized in the last couple of years through integration of new mass spectrometry technologies such as -Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization (SELDI) mass spectrometry. As data is generated in an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Anaphora in language is defined as an expression that refers to another expression. Hankamer & Sag 1976 and Sag & Hankamer 1984 proposed that anaphors can be divided into deep anaphors, which are resolved using a non-linguistic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Beta band (13-30 Hz) oscillations in sensorimotor cortex are associated with motor performance, but the nature of this relationship is not clear. Recently, excessive beta activity in cortico-basal ganglia circuits has been ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Bilateral cochlear implantation seeks to restore the advantages of binaural hearing to the profoundly deaf by giving them access to binaural cues normally important for accurate sound localization and speech reception in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)There is a pressing need in minimally-invasive surgery for novel imaging methods that can rapidly and accurately localize the surgical instrument and its target. We have developed two novel localization methods for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Space-suited activity is critical for human spaceflight, and is synonymous with human planetary exploration. Space suits impose kinematic and kinetic boundary conditions that affect movement and locomotion, and in doing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The human tongue is a versatile, lithe and structurally complex muscular organ that is of paramount importance for many physiological tasks. The lingual musculature is composed of various orthogonally oriented myofiber ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health concern for Americans and people worldwide. Arteriogenesis, an adaptive remodeling process in which pre-existing collateral arterioles remodel to form large diameter conductance ...
