Podcasts about electrodes

Can you wiggle your ears? Apparently around 15 percent of the population can consciously move their ears up and down. Now, new research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience have figured out where this ear wiggling skill came from. While humans can't turn their ears like some animals, our ear muscles still try to make tiny, unconscious movements when we're listening to something intently. In the study, the researchers asked 20 volunteers to listen to an audiobook played through a speaker at the same time as a podcast was also played from the same location. They created different scenarios, starting with easy ones where the podcast was quieter than the audiobook and the pitches for both were very different. They also created challenging scenarios where two podcasts were played together over the audiobook and the pitch of all three were similar. Electrodes were placed on the volunteers allowing the researchers to record the electrical activity produced by the muscles involved in wiggling the ears. The researchers found activity in the superior auricular muscles, which lift the ear upwards and outwards, was larger during the most difficult listening conditions and that the posterior auricular muscles, which pull the ear backward, were more active when the sounds came from behind the participant than in front of them. While the majority of the volunteers couldn't physically move their ears, the subtle twitches measured are thought to be remnants of an ancient reflex, called a "neural fossil" which came from our ancestors who could move their ears to focus on sounds. Although we lost the ability to visibly move our ears about 25 million years ago, these findings suggest that the neural pathways for ear movement are still present - and might subtly aid our ability to hear things.

GraphEnergyTech CEO Dr Thomas Baumeler takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the potential for the company's high-conductivity graphene electrodes. GraphEnergyTech, a Frontier IP Group PLC (AIM:FIPP) portfolio company, has raised £1 million through its first external equity funding round led by Aramco Ventures. Baumeler discussed how this funding reflects confidence in the company's potential rather than just its technology. The funds will be used to acquire independent equipment, upscale production, and further develop their cutting-edge graphene-based electrodes. Baumeler highlighted that GraphEnergyTech's nonmetallic electrodes are significantly cheaper and more sustainable than traditional metallic alternatives like silver. This innovation aims to address the impending shortage of silver used in solar panels by 2050, emphasising the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. GraphEnergyTech is focusing on solar applications initially but sees vast potential in other areas such as batteries and printed electronics. Baumeler shared that the company has already garnered interest from major solar manufacturers and emerging startups, underscoring the market's enthusiasm for their technology. "We want to replace metallic electrodes, especially in solar, but also in batteries and printed electronics over time," said Baumeler.

Het stimuleren van de hersenen met gebruik van geïmplanteerde elektrodes laat al positieve resultaten zien bij verschillende ziektes. Alleen die elektroden worden door ons lichaam niet altijd even goed geaccepteerd. Ook zijn ze hard en kunnen ze omliggend weefsel beschadigen.  Daarom komen onderzoekers met een nieuwe manier om naar bio-elektronica te kijken. Ze ontwikkelden een gel die ingespoten kan worden en die in reactie op van nature aanwezige chemische stofjes in het lichaam verhardt en geleidend wordt. Vooralsnog is het succesvol getest in levende zebravissen, bloedzuigers en in biefstuk. Er is dus nog een lange weg te gaan, maar als gedachtenexperiment is het alvast spannend.  In de ze audio hoor je Hanne Biesmans van de Linköping Universiteit in Zweden.

  In the pursuit of finding ways to support her son's ADHD and anxiety, Ashley learned about Micro Current Neurofeedback from the school counselor. After doing the research, Ashley and her husband were open to giving it a try. After one session, her son was sleeping better and was showing more flexibility in thinking skills and going with the flow. This was enough to convince them that there was something powerful about this method! If you're like me, you're wondering what Micro Current Neurofeedback is. Simply put, it's a way to help balance your brain. Electrodes are applied to nudge the central nervous system to lay down new neural pathways and create healthier brainwaves. It gives your nervous system a little nudge because it can get out of whack from trauma, chronic stress, illness, etc.  What does Micro Current Neurofeedback have to do with midlife women? You'll want to listen in to hear some pretty amazing results that Ashley is seeing with some of her clients. This is another great tool to have in your toolbox as you go through life looking to find optimal health. I know I'll be continuing this form of therapy!  If you're in the Birmingham, Alabama area you can connect with Ashley and give Micro Current Neurofeedback a try. You can reach Ashley via her website to have a free consultation or to book an appointment. You can also follow her on Instagram at bhmmcn.  For listeners outside of Alabama, use this site to find someone in your area.    Join my programs: Balance Eating Method Balance Program

Paul explains the minimums and maximums of sizing these conductors for this specific electrode.

A minor electric signal is all it takes to move a couple hundred pounds of human. When we walk, the brain sends a signal through the spine to the individual muscles of the legs, feet, and core to manage the complex orchestra of contraction and relaxation that makes balance and walking possible. After stroke, the brain may stop sending all or some of those signals. That breaks the ability to walk. It happened to me and millions of others. There is nothing wrong with my leg, though. The muscles, joints, tendons and nerves in my leg, foot, and core are all still there and as fully functional as they were before the stroke. They're just waiting for he signal from my brain which, in the beginning, never came. Rehab was about getting the brain to send that signal again. And it started sending some of it. It's not as complete as it used to be. Or as strong. But it's enough that I can walk with my cane and brace well enough, and not quite as well without my aids. But, again, it's a brain issue, not a leg issue. If you can send a signal to those muscles without the brain, can you effectively get those muscles to move and walk more effectively? Yes you can. That's what Neural Sleeve from Cionic does. In this episode, I speak with Cionic CEO and founder Jeremiah Robison about the Neural Sleeve, why it works, how stroke survivors can learn more, and how his daughter inspired this product. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/ElectricPants to listen to the conversation. Click here for a machine-generated transcript Who is Jeremiah Robison? Jeremiah Robison is the Founder and CEO of CIONIC, an innovative company that builds lightweight and durable bionic clothing driven by powerful algorithms that adapt in real time to each individual's mobility needs. He started the company in 2018 after his daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and he was frustrated at the lack of effective technology available to help improve her mobility. Four years later, CIONIC introduced the breakthrough, FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, the first product to combine sensing, analysis and augmentation into a wearable garment. Prior to CIONIC, Jeremiah spent twenty years at the intersection of data, algorithms, and the human body, driving innovation in sensing and machine learning at Apple, Openwave Systems, Slide, and Jawbone. Jeremiah has a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University. Jeremiah's daughter Jeremiah's daughter, Sofia, was apparently in a rush to meet this amazing world. She was born early, weighing just 2 pounds, 4 ounces. She developed Cerebral Palsy in the process. Cerebral Palsy (CP) and stroke are similar conditions. In fact, as Dr. Heather Fullerton explained in episode 49 ( http://Strokecast.com/PediatricStroke) roughly 50% of CP is caused by stroke in utero or shortly after birth. CP is the result of not enough oxygen getting to the right part of the brain at the right time of development. Brain cells die or don't develop or don't form the right networks the way they should. As a result, a child can develop any number of challenges around mobility, speech, dexterity, and more. Just like adults (and other children) with stroke. The damage from stroke in the brain is also, in part, due to lack of oxygen getting to the right parts when they need it due to a disruption in the blood supply. Stroke survivors have a lot in common with our neuro cousins in the CP and MS communities, to name a few. Jeremiah talks about wanting to help Sofiawith her gait, as any parent would. Jeremiah was in a position to do something about it, and the Neural Sleeve comes from that experience. Sofia herself is now 12 years old and has developed a presence on Instagram with the family's nonprofit at @WAWOSORG. Sofia shares her own inspirational tips and exercise strategies for other kids with CP or other disabilities. View this profile on Instagram WAWOS (@wawosorg) • Instagram photos and videos FES FES stands for Functional Electric Stimulation. I talked about the technology in more detail in episode 92 - Electrodes and a Stationary Bike — FES for Stroke Treatment. I've used eStim in therapy while I was inpatient and then at home, too. Devices are available on Amazon for $30-$50.* You put 2-4 electrodes on an arm or leg, roughly at either end of a muscle. The AA battery powered unit sends a minor electric signal to the electrode. The nerves at the end of the muscle detect it and think the brain is sending the signal. The nerve then contracts or relaxes the muscle. The muscle is doing the actual work. It can be a great way to help an affected limb get some exercise, stretch some tendons, and generally not waste away. In the shoulder, it can even treat subluxation. FES is the next level of eStim. Instead of just making the muscle move, it makes it, and other muscles move much more precisely to accomplish a specific function. In the case of Restorative Therapies, this was to coordinate movement to drive rahab. https://youtu.be/HJo07_JimOA Some of the more well-known FES devices are those from Bioness and Walkaide. They specifically stimulate the muscles that lift our toes (the dorsiflexors) to eliminate foot drop while walking. They are an alternative to an AFO. The look like a cuff that a person wears just below the knee. They work great for some folks, but not all. They're also not typically covered by insurance. I tried them both earlier in my post-stroke life. The Walkaide worked better on my gait, but at $5K-$6K to buy the unit (in 2019), I decided the benefit simply wasn't worth the cost for me. For others, the device is a great solution. Author Maddi Niebanck who survived a stroke at 22 and was in episode 97 uses the Bioness and is a big fan. The Neural Sleeve takes this technology further. As Jeremiah explained, the network of electrodes in the device means that precise placement is not as important. Software can adjust for that.  With its larger assortment of electrodes, it can also stimulate more muscles and address other aspects of gait. And it looks less like a home-release ankle monitor. The rental aspect of the Neural Sleeve also makes it more accessible to more folks, similar to the approach adopted by show sponsor Motus Nova for its rehab device. The best rehab gear is the gear you won't need forever, and that rental becomes much more compelling. At least under the American model of health care financing. Cionic Images You can get a look at the device in these images. Or visit http://cionic.com. No Plateau Podcast Many stroke survivors have heard of Saebo. The make a series of devices for survivors. One of them is the Saebo Step, which is an alternative AFO. They sent me one several months ago, and I use it as my summer AFO. Specifically, it's the one I use when I wear short pants or sneakers. They also have a podcast called the "No Plateau Podcast" which is a great name for a stroke oriented show. And I'm the guest on episode 6. It was a lot of fun and I didn't have to do the editing. In the episode, I share my stroke journey and we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of stroke rehab. We also talk about what I mean when I say, "Don't get best…get better." And we talk about some of the inequities affecting female presenting and BIPOC stroke survivors. You can listen right here.

And check out more episodes of the No Plateau Podcast on Saebo's website or in your favorite podcast app. Hack of the Week Jeremiah recommends patience. Recovery is a journey as we well know, and we can take it just a piece at a time. It's also important to capture the process in notes, video, audio, and/or pictures. As we make progress day-by-day we won't see it. It's only when we look back at our records that we see how far we've come. And of course this aligns well with the idea of "Don't get best…get better." It's that incremental progress that matters…little bits every day that over time add up to success and goal achievement. Links Where do we go from here?

Show Notes: SpaceX's Starlink internet reaches Antarctica, touching all 7 continents  | New Atlas (01:16) Scientists with the United States Antarctic Program at the McMurdo Station are tapping into the space-based internet service, Starlink. Boosting the bandwidth for scientific research at the end of the Earth. Location of the Antarctic Program? You guess it Antartica The researchers have received a Starlink terminal of their own where it is said to be improving connectivity as they carry out their research. All of this was ,adding possible through laser links between the satellites in orbit that eliminate the need for ground stations at the poles Ultimately this makes Antarctica the seventh and final continent to receive Starlink internet coverage.  Google spins out secret hi-speed telecom project called Aalyria | CNBC (04:52) Codenamed “Minkowski” within Google, the secret project is being unveiled to the public on Monday, Sept. 12th, as a new spinout called Aalyria. No clue how long it's been working on the technology or how many employees are joining the startup Not too many details about the project. Aalyria said in a news release that its mission is to manage “hyper fast, ultra-secure, and highly complex communications networks that span land, sea, air, near space, and deep space.” The company continues by claiming they have laser communications technology “ on an exponentially greater scale and speed than anything that exists today.” It will be led by CEO Chris Taylor, a national security expert who has led other companies that have worked with the government.  Have an $8.7 million commercial contract with the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit. The Light laser tech is named, “Tightbeam” The claim is that it keeps data “intact through the atmosphere and weather and offers connectivity where no supporting infrastructure exists.” “Radically [improving] satellite communications, Wi-Fi on planes and ships, and cellular connectivity everywhere.” A blood test that could detect cancers early will undergo trials in the U.S. | Interesting Engineering (11:04) According to a report by MIT Tech Review, The U.S. is preparing to launch trials of blood tests that can improve the detection of multiple kinds of cancer. The test will be conducted by the National Cancer Institute Testing efficacy of various blood tests in detecting cancer in 24,000 healthy participants over four years. The only test that is currently used in the U.S. is the Galleri, which claims to detect more than 50 cancer types.  Not approved by the FDA Therefore, it's not covered by most insurance and costs $949. To give a brief explanation on how the majority of these multi-cancer early detection tests (MCEDs) work: Searching for tumor cell remnants that explode after being attacked by the immune system in the bloodstream. A cancer warning before symptoms appear. Only some blood tests can identify the organ where the cancer is in.  To confirm a diagnosis a biopsy has to be performed but if you can't tell the location that is an issue The whole body of a person cannot be biopsied. The NCI trial should provide a standard approach to launching cancer screening research. Timothy Rebbeck, a professor of cancer prevention at Harvard thinks these tests will be critically helpful in cases of pancreatic, liver, and ovarian cancer, which are fatal and do not have any other screening options. Concluding, “It seems very realistic to me to think that we could reduce death by half." This modular off-grid solar EV charger can be installed in just four hours | Electrek (18:34) Paired Power, a California company, has debuted a modular, off-grid electric vehicle charger that is powered by a solar canopy. The new modular charger called PairTree There is Level 1 (household charging, very slow), Level 2 (adds around twenty or so miles of range to the batteries of your car for every hour), and Fast Charging (Tesla Supercharging stations) A transportable solar canopy with built-in EV charging capabilities Can be used off grid, but it can also be hooked into the grid if desired.  Comes in 5 kW units using 10 bifacial solar panels each Level 2 Charging PairTree is designed to optimize EV charging loads to deliver up to 75 miles of daily range. PairTree can be installed in only four hours by two people. Tom McCalmont, CEO and cofounder of Paired Power, said: “EV charging is no longer a fringe benefit for any location where a car might park; it's quickly becoming a service that both average citizens and employees expect. There are various reasons why site owners don't want to wait or might have restrictions on grid-connected EV charging or conventional solar canopies, and PairTree is the solution to bring any location quickly into the EV future.” Paired Power is taking orders for PairTree now, and the company is expecting general delivery to take place in the second quarter of 2023. PairTree's starting price is $26,900, and that covers the canopy and solar only (no charging or other electronics).  Fully configured units will sell for mid-$60k depending on options. Scientists Just Made Hydrogen Fuel With Nothing But Air and Solar Power | Singularity Hub (23:55) Researchers from the University of Melbourne in Australia have developed a new technique that makes hydrogen fuel out of thin air in even the driest climates. Hydrogen could also be an important part of the energy mix. Burned just like conventional fuels, but the only byproduct it releases is water For hydrogen to contribute to decarbonization, “green hydrogen” is needed. Produced by electrolyzers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy. Gang Kevin Li, co-author on the study, told Newsweek: “The ability to use moisture from air makes this DAE [direct air electrolyzer] module applicable in remote, arid, and semi-arid environments where the accessibility to fresh water is a big problem … Most areas on earth with high solar and wind potentials lack fresh water.” Even in the driest climates, though, there is a considerable amount of moisture in the air. Sahel desert, relative humidity is still around 20 percent on average The researchers device to do all of this hydrogen harvesting consists of  a water harvesting unit that houses a sponge soaked in a water-absorbing liquid that can pull moisture from the air. Electrodes that can be powered by any renewable energy source. When current runs through those electrodes water is split via electrolysis into its constituent oxygen and hydrogen atoms, which can then be collected as gas. The team showed the device could run efficiently for 12 consecutive days   Produced hydrogen with 99 percent purity. In a test for real world potential: rigged up five electrolyzers in parallel and placed them outside powered by a solar panel Produced an average of 745 liters (197 gallons) of hydrogen per square meter per day. Half of conventional electrolyzer methods, but this is running just on humidity Until electrolyzer technology comes down in price and becomes more efficient, hydrogen is unlikely to compete with traditional fuels, whether it's pulled from thin air or not.

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob's 101st lesson on Pokémon biology. Today's class is all about Electrode, the Ball Pokémon (Sphere Pokémon in Hisui) and evolved form of Voltorb. So if you've never seen an Electrode before, just imagine a Voltorb... but flipped over. And that's it! Electrodes love some good, yummy electricity. So much so that their fascination with power plants has been known to cause frequent blackouts. Electrodes are also known to explode at the slightest stimulation. Sometimes, they do it just for fun - the scoundrels! There's much more to learn about Electrode, including its electric/grass type Hisuian variant, so be sure to take good notes!

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger ND, talks to Toby Pasman Pasman is a neurophysiology researcher who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and completed his Master's of Psychology through Lynn University in 2021. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/toby-pasman   Highlights from today's episode include: Toby Pasman 10:27 One being that long term meditators produce a lot more gamma waves than the average person. And gamma waves are kind of a lesser talked about brainwave, they're actually the fastest of all the brainwaves. And basically, neuroscientists have kind of discovered that they play a big role in our awareness, our ability to be intently focused and actively go about sort of solving different problems, along with sort of integrating information coming from different areas of our awareness Toby Pasman 13:40 Thinking about things cognitively processing, we're producing mostly beta waves. Now, when someone meditates and kind of turning their awareness inward, you start producing more, you drop down into producing more of these alpha waves. And alpha brainwaves are really important for kind of relaxation, also increasing people's ability to learn, process, and recall a lot of information really quickly. Toby Pasman  And basically, with neuro technologies, were able to, short circuit, the process in the sense that it might take a meditator a long time to be able to eventually sink into producing beta waves through their meditation. But I could put a couple of electrodes on someone's brain and specifically stimulate a beta frequency. So, then their brain is going to just directly entrain to that frequency that's being stimulated. So, it's, it's a similar sort of mechanism in terms of altering brainwaves and the electrical activity, both with meditation along with kind of these newer neuro technologies, but these different technologies can really accelerate the process quite dramatically.   About Toby Pasman Toby Pasman is a neurophysiology researcher who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and completed his Master's of Psychology through Lynn University in 2021. He worked on the Emotions and Neuroplasticity Project at the Brain Development Lab at the UO while in undergrad, learning EEG acquisition and artifacting.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin explores the topic of resistance-to-ground specifications. It is important to consider the justification for specifying a particular value of resistance-to-ground. Can a very low value always be achieved? Does it matter? While some installations may have a valid need for a low resistance-to-ground, many times, it is not necessary.  Also, consider that it is not possible to simply buy materials that meet an arbitrary resistance-to-ground spec. Rather, engineers should evaluate if the grounding system has a good continuity and therefore low potential difference across the system to minimize hazards to equipment and personnel.  For a video of this podcast, please visit our YouTube Channel at E&S Grounding Solutions.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin builds upon the previous episode's discussion on testing the continuity of a grounding system, this time focusing on the clamp-on method. In this method, the clamp-on meter will induce a current on the system in two directions. The clamp-on meter can then determine the resistance. Normally, a low resistance reading will indicate that there is a good continuous loop between the grounded object under test and the larger grounding system. However, in the case of isolated grounds, the desired resistance measurement on the clamp-on meter would be extremely high (open) to indicate that current only traveled successfully in one direction. Then, a two-point test can be used to validate that there is a continuous path for the isolated ground.  A clamp-on meter can provide key insights into possible issues such as leakage current and corrosion.  For a video of this podcast, please visit our YouTube Channel at E&S Grounding Solutions.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin concludes a two-part series on resistance to ground measurements by discussing the induced frequency test, often called the “Clamp-On Method."  In this method, a comparison is made between an induced current and a return current, while the test voltage is held constant. When the meter is clamped on to an electrode that is in series with a massive resistance loop with many parallel resistances, the meter can display a resistance that is approximately near the resistance to ground of the electrode under test. If electrodes of interest are accessible via test wells, the clamp-on method can be helpful for maintaining the grounding system by examining the change in resistance over an extended period of time, or by measuring the amount of current in the grounding system.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin sits down to chat about the three-point fall-of-potential method for conducting a resistance to ground measurement. In this method, there is a particular location for a potential probe that will help produce a reasonably accurate result for the test. However, it is important to take readings at multiple locations to see if there are any problems with the test setup and site conditions. The fall-of-potential method has limitations to its applications because site conditions may not accommodate a good test setup. Still, engineers should learn how the concepts behind the fall-of-potential method can be useful when assessing the design or performance of a grounding system.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin discusses the Wenner four-point method for testing soil resistivity. Selecting proper spacing of the four test probes must be considered when measuring the resistivity at various depths into the earth. It is important to investigate how the measurements may differ between seasons and weather conditions. The results of a soil resistivity test employing the Wenner method are an essential part of the soil model used when studying how fault current dissipates in the earth through the grounding system, and how personnel can be protected from dangerous step and touch potentials.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin chats about three tests commonly used to test a grounding system. A four-point test reveals properties about the soil surrounding the grounding system. A three-point test can be used to measure the resistance from one or more metal electrodes to the earth. A two-point test helps to confirm that an electrically continuous (very low impedance) path exists throughout the grounding system. The results of each test offer key insights into assessing the performance and safety of a grounding system. For a video of this podcast, please visit our YouTube Channel at E&S Grounding Solutions.

In our final episode for this series, we bring back our first guest, Dave Rosa, to continue our conversation on NeuroOne technologies looking into the future. Dave introduces a number of exciting new technologies, such as needle-sized electrodes and an electrode combine two procedures into one. All these new technologies are being developed with the aim of reducing invasiveness and patient trauma. Dave mentions the cooperative and parallel development of software along with hardware, and how AI-based technology is an exciting thing to look forward to.

Our third episode of Behind the Electrodes introduces Dr. Douglas Weber, professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Neuroscience Institute of Carnegie Mellon University and founding member of DARPA's Biological Technologies Office. From his experience, Dr. Weber notes the surprising difference between the technology used in research compared to the technology used in practice. He also emphasizes the importance of using AI systems to process data from the thousands of channels in brain. Dr. Weber closes with some optimistic projections about more flexible and adaptable neuroscience devices that can allow communication on many different levels.

In our second episode, we have Dr. Kip Ludwig, who leads the Bioelectronic Medicines Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, as well as serving on the NeuroOne Medical Technologies advisory board and as the chairman of the AI advisory board. Dr. Ludwig talks through the difficulty with collecting data from information channels and how a certain type of electrode may be capable of triggering a reconnection to lost senses.

In the inaugural episode of Behind the Electrodes: Stimulating conversations, we interview Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne Technologies. Dave talks about the decisions he made to end up at NeuroOne, and also describes just what makes NeuroOne electrodes stand out against competitors.
