Efficient Autonomous Navigation for Terrestrial Insect-Machine Hybrid Systems [PDF]
While bio-inspired and biomimetic systems draw inspiration from living materials, biohybrid systems incorporate them with synthetic devices, allowing the exploitation of both organic and artificial advantages inside a single entity. In the challenging development of centimeter-scaled mobile robots serving unstructured territory navigations, biohybrid ...

Repetitive stimulation in the central nervous system [PDF]
There has been a considerable change in ideas about the effect of a lesion in the central nervous system (CNS) and the view of a fixed neurological deficit following a lesion in the CNS is no longer tenable. The clinical picture seen after a partial lesion in the CNS depends in part on the destruction or partial destruction of nerve pathways and cells,

Intramembrane Cavitation as a Predictive Bio-Piezoelectric Mechanism for Ultrasonic Brain Stimulation [PDF]
Low-intensity ultrasonic waves can remotely and nondestructively excite central nervous system (CNS) neurons. While diverse applications for this effect are already emerging, the biophysical transduction mechanism underlying this excitation remains unclear.

Therapeutic electrical stimulation of the central nervous system
The electrical effects on the nervous system have been known for long. The excitatory effect has been used for diagnostic purposes or even for therapeutic applications, like in pain using low-frequency stimulation of the spinal cord or of the thalamus.
