So a big goal of neuroprosthetics is to be able to reactivate that communication using
electrical
or chemical stimulations.
When you experience something, like dialing a phone number, the experience is converted into a pulse of
electrical
energy that zips along a network of neurons.
Data is written onto the disc by converting strings of bits into
electrical
current fed through an electromagnet.
Electromagnetic radiation is pure energy consisting of interacting
electrical
and magnetic waves oscillating through space.
There, each memory cell consists of a tiny transistor and a capacitor that store
electrical
charges, a 0 when there's no charge, or a 1 when charged.
These have no moving parts, instead using floating gate transistors that store bits by trapping or removing
electrical
charges within their specially designed internal structures.
Pain and other messages travel through the nervous system as
electrical
impulses.
Regional anesthetics work by setting up an
electrical
barricade.
These general anesthetics also seem to work by affecting
electrical
signals in the nervous system.
Normally, the brain's
electrical
signals are a chaotic chorus as different parts of the brain communicate with each other.
Negative charge builds up and acts like a log jam, keeping the neuron from transmitting
electrical
signals.
The brain has to juggle a sea of thousands of
electrical
signals getting them all to their destination at precisely the right time.
The mental synthesis theory proposes that like a puppeteer pulling the strings, the prefrontal cortex neurons send
electrical
signals down these neural fibers to multiple ensembles in the posterior cortex.
Myelin is an insulator and speeds up the
electrical
signals zipping down the nerve fiber.
She knows how different wavelengths of light stimulate three types of cone cells in the retina, and she knows how
electrical
signals travel down the optic nerve into the brain.
They commonly use an electrocardiogram to measure the heart's
electrical
activity and a blood test to assess heart muscle damage.
Myelin is similar to insulation on
electrical
cables.
It prevents energy loss from
electrical
signals that the brain uses, moving them more efficiently along neural pathways.
In 20% of cases, these attacks are intense enough to overload the brain with
electrical
energy, which hyper-excites sensory nerve endings.
Well, the first thing is, there's a community of engineering professors, from Cambridge to Kyoto, who are developing engineering content in
electrical
engineering to develop what you can think of as a massive, super textbook that covers the entire area of
electrical
engineering.
But we knew that neurons used electricity, and by World War II, our technology was advanced enough to start doing real
electrical
experiments on live neurons to better understand how they worked.
As I got my Bachelor's and PhD in
electrical
engineering, did R and D in the UK, then consulting in the Middle East, I have always been in male-dominated environments.
So what we've learned over the first century of neuroscience is that the brain is a very complicated network, made out of very specialized cells called neurons with very complex geometries, and
electrical
currents will flow through these complexly shaped neurons.
What you would see are thousands and thousands of kinds of biomolecules, little nanoscale machines organized in complex, 3D patterns, and together they mediate those
electrical
pulses, those chemical exchanges that allow neurons to work together to generate things like thoughts and feelings and so forth.
And while batteries have made some really cool improvements lately, the truth is, they're just never going to be as efficient as the
electrical
grid.
Now, my apartment had four
electrical
outlets, and I couldn't use a microwave and a toaster at the same time, but still, I could pay my rent.
They can measure the types of information that we want, things such as: bodily movement, bodily temperature,
electrical
rhythms of the body and so forth.
And we can go higher, and suspend our transportation like we did with our
electrical
grid.
Patients with epilepsy could be forcibly institutionalized until the EEG was able to measure abnormal
electrical
activity in the brain.
It's one the Obama administration even called "the cornerstone to modernizing America's
electrical
grid."
