Immersive Composition for Sensory Rehabilitation: 3D Visualisation, Surround Sound, and Synthesised Music to Provoke Catharsis and Healing [PDF]

, 2014
There is a wide range of sensory therapies using sound, music and visual stimuli. Some focus on soothing or distracting stimuli such as natural sounds or classical music as analgesic, while other approaches emphasize the active performance of producing ...

Induction of slow oscillations by rhythmic acoustic stimulation [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2012
SummarySlow oscillations are electrical potential oscillations with a spectral peak frequency of ∼0.8 Hz, and hallmark the electroencephalogram during slow‐wave sleep. Recent studies have indicated a causal contribution of slow oscillations to the consolidation of memories during slow‐wave sleep, raising the question to what extent such oscillations ...

Acoustically Stimulated Charge Transport in Graphene Film

Nanomaterials, 2022
The process of acoustically stimulated charge transport in the graphene film on the surface of the YZ−cut of a LiNbO3 crystal was investigated. It was found that the dependence of the current in the graphene film on the frequency of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) excitation repeats the amplitude-frequency response of the SAW delay time line.

3D In Vitro Models of Breast Cancer: Current Challenges and Future Prospects Toward Recapitulating the Microenvironment and Mimicking Key Processes

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro cancer models are advantageous for studying important processes such as tumorigenesis, cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis. The complexity and biological relevance increase depending on the model structure, organization, and composition of materials and cells.

Disentangling the effects of phonation and articulation: Hemispheric asymmetries in the auditory N1m response of the human brain [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: The cortical activity underlying the perception of vowel identity has typically been addressed by manipulating the first and second formant frequency (F1 & F2) of the speech stimuli.

Programmable Reconfiguration of Hybrid 4D Chiral Metamaterials via Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A class of hybrid chiral mechanical metamaterials is designed to achieve programmable reconfiguration through soft networks, hinges, and bilayer joints integrated with rigid units. Responsive to mechanical and thermal stimuli, these structures exhibit large volume changes, tunable deformation pathways, and both positive and negative thermal expansion ...

Sound-by-sound thalamic stimulation modulates midbrain auditory excitability and relative binaural sensitivity in frogs

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Descending circuitry can modulate auditory processing, biasing sensitivity to particular stimulus parameters and locations. Using awake in vivo single unit recordings, this study tested whether electrical stimulation of the thalamus modulates auditory ...

Nanomaterial-Assisted Acoustic Neural Stimulation

, 2020
Wireless and non-invasive stimulation of neural system, especially at the central level, is considered a critical issue not only for the treatment of a variety of pathological conditions, such as epilepsy, chronic pain, and obsessive-compulsive disorders, but also for reducing the debilitating motor symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s ...

Bioinspired Materials, Designs, and Manufacturing Strategies for Advanced Impact‐Resistant Helmets

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how bioinspired materials, structures, and manufacturing strategies transform helmet design to achieve enhanced impact resistance. Drawing inspiration from nacre, porcupine quills, beetle exoskeletons, and skull architectures, it highlights advances in auxetic lattices, nanocomposites, and functionally graded foams.

Stimulated acoustic emissions from coupled strings [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 2013
We consider traveling transverse waves on two identical uniform taut strings that are elastically coupled through springs that gradually decrease their stiffness over a region of finite length. The wave system can be decomposed into two modes: an in-phase mode ([Formula: see text]) that is transparent to the coupling springs, and an out-of-phase mode ([
