A nearly invisible brain-computer interface (BCI)

Georgia Tech researchers have just shared a game-changing breakthrough: a nearly invisible brain-computer interface (BCI) that fits between hair follicles and sits just beneath the skin. No bulky headgear, no conductive gel – just a wireless sensor smaller than a millimeter, picking up brain signals with 96.4% accuracy, even while walking or running.

Machine learning finds combined biological and psychosocial data improve chronic pain prediction

Researchers at McGill University and other institutes recently carried out a study aimed at identifying biomarkers and psychosocial factors associated with the development of chronic pain conditions. Their findings, published in Nature Human Behavior, were obtained by analyzing data from a large biomedical database, namely the UK Biobank, using advanced machine learning techniques.

Advanced mechanical heart valve offers smoother blood flow

Associate Professor Dr. Hadi Mohammadi runs the Heart Valve Performance Laboratory at UBCO’s School of Engineering. He, along with Dr. Dylan Goode, has been testing an MHV created in their lab that may—after clinical trials—supersede mechanical valves currently available for people living with heart disease.
