Slower rates of stimulation may be more effective in brain therapy, suggests research

One of the promising non-invasive brain therapeutic methods is the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. During such a procedure, a magnetic coil is placed near the head of the patient and a magnetic pulse is transmitted to a specific damaged region of the brain.

Artificial retinas fabricated using organic printing inks may restore vision to blind people

A simple retinal prosthesis is being developed in collaboration between Tel Aviv University in Israel and Linköping University in Sweden. Fabricated using cheap and widely-available organic pigments used in printing inks and cosmetics, it consists of tiny pixels like a digital camera sensor on a nanometric scale. Researchers hope that it can restore sight to blind people.
