Bypass commands from the brain to legs through a computer. 14-Aug-2014 [ Print | E-mail ] Share [ Close Window ] Contact: Yukio Nishimurayukio@nips.ac.jp National Institutes of Natural Sciences Gait disturbance in individuals with spinal cord injury is attributed to the interruption of neural pathways from brain to the spinal locomotor center, whereas neural circuits locate below and above the lesion maintain most of their functions.
Neural networks in the spinal cord, locomotion center are capable of producing rhythmic movements, such as swimming and walking, even when isolated from the brain. The research group came up with bypassing the functioning brain and locomotion center with the computer to compensate lost pathways as a way to enable individuals with spinal cord injury to regain walking ability. Since the arm movement associte with leg movement when we walk they used muscle activity of arm to sarogate the brain activity. . [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] AAAS and EurekAlert! New Microsoft Project Makes Shakey Timelapse Video Watchable. Videos. Mau-Tsuen Yang's Research. AR-based Surface Texture Replacement We propose a texture replacement system based on AR markers to find contour of a surface object and paste new texture inside the detected contour naturally.
The proposed system can analysis input images, detect contours of target surface, and apply new material to the target surface realistically. The proposed technology can be widely used on digital image/video post-production and interior design. An Interactive 3D Input Device: 3D AR Pen Augmented Reality (AR) technology is ideal for creating a more natural and intuitive Human-Computer-Interface (HCI). Facial Expression Recognition for Learning Status Analysis Facial expression provides an important hint for teachers to know the learning status of students. 3D Virtual English Classroom (VEC3D) We design a campus-like virtual reality that provides an authentic contact for English learners in Taiwan.
Virtual Talking Head Driven by either Video or Voice Lip Contour Extraction Moving Cast Shadow Detection. DARPA Explores Virtual Reality as the Future of Cyberwarfare. In William Gibson’s sci-fi novel, Neuromancer, hackers jack-in to an internet-like virtual world called the matrix. Instead of working with lines of code, they’re digitally embodied in a realm where computers, programs, and the paths connecting them are represented as 3D objects—hacking the matrix is more like a video game. When the book was first written, the internet’s forerunner was already in place. The Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) had been linking computer terminals across the US in a network called ARPANET since 1969.
But Gibson’s vision of cyberspace, or as he described it then, “a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators,” didn’t really get momentum until the mid-1990s. Today, of course, that “consensual hallucination” is every bit as ubiquitous as he suggested it would be. But a lot can change in a few years. The same organization that first began experimenting with the internet is jumping into virtual reality for hackers. Leap Motion’s Gesture Control Finds Niche Uses in Medicine, Art and Augmented Reality. We first became acquainted with Leap Motion back in 2012. The company makes a small device about the size and shape of a pack of gum that uses infrared sensors and clever software to model objects inside its field of view—most obviously, these objects might be a pair of hands controlling a computer using gestures.
Though Leap’s early inspiration was to make 3D modeling more intuitive, comparisons to gesture-controlled sci-fi holographic displays led some to surmise the Leap controller could be an heir apparent to the touch screen and mouse. It was, perhaps, a little too much hype for any startup to live up to out of the gate. After a round of unenthusiastic reviews and slow sales, they’ve had to reposition themselves for the longer haul. However, though Leap might be a little hung over from 2013’s euphoric highs, the firm is still here, and their device is still cool.
Last year, Elon Musk and his engineers at SpaceX used a Leap Motion controller to help them 3D model rocket parts.

The inFORM Dynamic Shape Display is a table that can render 3D content physicallyUsing a Kinect sensor, users can create a 3D likeness of their handsThe display can also be used as a controller (CNN) -- Picture this scene: an iPad resting on a table with the familiar 2D image from a video call on the screen.
The flat display shows your caller's upper body, talking away. But below this their hands and arms reach up out of the tabletop into the physical world, gently lifting a small red ball off the table and passing it from one digitally-recreated hand to the other. It can already happen. It's the work of the inFORM Dynamic Shape Display: a tabletop covered in miniature white squares that rise up like towers, to turn digital content into physical objects. Used in conjunction with a 3D sensor, like Microsoft's Kinect, it can capture a person's physical appearance and reproduce it in tiny skyscraper-like "pixel" blocks -- on-the-fly, anywhere in the world.

Sugar-powered biobattery has 10 times the energy storage of lithium: Your smartphone might soon run on enzymes. As you probably know, from sucking down cans of Coke and masticating on candy, sugar -- glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose -- is an excellent source of energy. Biologically speaking, sugar molecules are energy-dense, easy to transport, and cheap to digest.
There is a reason why almost every living cell on Earth generates its energy (ATP) from glucose. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy storage density of 596 amp-hours per kilo -- or "one order of magnitude" higher than lithium-ion batteries. This fuel cell is refillable with a solution of maltodextrin, and its only by products are electricity and water. Now, it's not exactly news that sugar is an excellent energy source. A diagram of the enzymatic fuel cell.
Now, however, Zhang and friends at Virginia Tech appear to have built a high-density fuel cell that uses an enzymatic pathway to create a lot of electricity from glucose.

Roberto Fazio's Light Studio Brings Projection Mapping To The Next Level. When we interviewed Italian projection mapping artist Luca Agnani last week, he gave us a brief list of noteworthy peers he worked alongside at the City of Lights festival in Moscow, last fall.
Some much needed insight, considering this relatively new iteration of spacial augmented reality is becoming more and more prominent in digital arts scenes the world over. One name he emphasized was Roberto Fazio—an Italian digital artist with a studio based in Bologna. Agnani called him, rather matter-of-factly, a “guru” in the field. Naturally you’re left to skeptically contemplate such lofty terms with a see-it-to-believe-it attitude, but a quick search through Fazio’s portfolio reveals why a guy as celebrated in the Italian visual arts scene as Agnani would throw laurels his way. In support of Agnani’s praise, we decided to profile a few of the works Fazio had a hand in. Below is a video of the projection, which debuted at the PhotoShow Milan: Malaga Vienna Paris.

Breadboarding - Homebuilt - Systems. As those who have been following my posts in the Homebuilt System forums, I have been a proponent of breadboarding for a long time because it lets me test components before I install them in a case.
I am in a better position than most to do this because I am generally running 2 or 3 systems off a 4 port KVM switch. I always reserve one set of cables for testing (I am real popular with friends with computer problems). The following picture is an old 680i system I am trying to get running with a Q6600. (Yes I know all about the problems of 680i motherboards with quad core CPU's.) As you can see from the connected drives, I basically have a caseless system.
Then for testing, I build the PC in stages. I included the old Dysan floppy disk box to show what I normally use. I am working in Saudi Arabia right now and my house is known as "The Elephant Graveyard of Computers". The Best Computer Science Schools — CompSci School and Degree Rankings.

He has been developing for several devices, among them some in the Samsung Galaxy family. as usual with devs, he flashed a lot of stuff in the Galaxy S I9000. Eventually something gave up. The phone was hard-bricked. Having known me for a hardware guy, mostly just talks, he handed me his phone. We both thought i’ll probably re-use the screen… i wanted to try and resurrect it to full functionality though. The exposed Galaxy S i9000 board This is because the kind of soldering required here is quite incredible for it to be just a software hack. A close up of the unshielded board If you are good at soldering surface mount zero ohm resistor like that, i’d recommend the remount of the same resistor.
