A self-powered pacemaker might even be possible ... Rogers and colleagues spent years figuring out how to bake thin silicon circuits on a silicon base or substrate, chemically wash away the silicon ...

"We have combined the pacemaker and other novel circuits into a single chip in order to make them smarter, more sensitive and more power-efficient, in addition to reducing form factor" explains ...

Such an interaction is not possible in the VOO mode. In the case of reentrant circuits the phenomena underlining resetting are more complex, as schematically presented in Figure 2. If an ...

The spontaneously active circuits described here are the spinal ... Another common feature is the presence of pacemaker-like neurons that are involved in the spontaneous generation of events.

To regulate mood, the prefrontal cortex acts as a pacemaker to coordinate the actions ... "These subcortical circuits are the key regulators of our emotional life," said Helen Mayberg, a professor ...

To test the prototype, the researchers developed an electronic circuit to transform and store the signal in a small buffer. They then connected the system to a custom made cardiac pacemaker. Zurbuchen ...
