LED medical lighting -- Stimulate the muscles to prevent atrophy

Neuroscience expert staff Dalhousie University in Canada and the Brain Repair Center found a new method, you can skip the nervous system, directly stimulate nerve injury or disease linked to lose muscle.

When the nerve failure LED light success is directly stimulate the muscles to prevent atrophy

Taught at medical neurology department, who is also director of the Brain Repair Centre's Werther 'Laves (Victor Rafuse) Professor and his research partners together, an assistant professor with the department of Zhang Ying (Transliteration Ying Zhang) He said they successfully stimulate the muscles with LED lighting, enabling nerve injury and neurodegenerative diseases caused by atrophy and paralysis of the muscles react.


Dalhousie surgery residency and doctoral candidate Michael Phillips' report En (Philippe Magown) And graduate Basavaraj Shettar physicians and Travers and Zhang Ying cooperation this major medical breakthrough experiments and their findings on October 13, 2015, published in (Nature Communications) Journals.

'We found that through the skin as long as a day with the LED light irradiation one hour and there is no link nerve muscle, can prevent them from shrinking. Other studies successfully make the case of light to stimulate nerves, but we are able to skip the first case of nerves and direct action research on muscle. This study brings significant progress, because of the complete failure of neural tissue injury or as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, commonly known as getting cold) Other diseases, can not let the muscles by stimulating nerve functioning. '

Borrow from the LED light shines restore muscle function

To verify the light to directly stimulate muscle activity theory, the researchers implanted mice genes will react to light ion channels (ion channel) ,This ion channel was first discovered in the unicellular green algae, which the ion channels allow the muscles when exposed to blue light LED can stimulate contractions.

Scientists looking for a simple method of implanting ions into the body light reaction

'Our next step is to develop a light reaction able to ion channels directly to the muscles, without modifying the method of genetic composition so that we may have a way to find a viable therapy for humans.'

For example, Travers recommends that patients with hand muscles such ion channel transfer hand muscles nerve injury on failure. 'We see the development of a' possibility LED light gloves', and can be worn to avoid muscle atrophy, and when patients want to get something that can stimulate muscle contraction. '

Unlimited Potential applications are expected to help patients with neurological disorders disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

This new technology is still in the stage of research has many potential applications, including use in stimulating the patient's diaphragm disease Amyotrophic help because of neurons and synapses link failure mechanisms been suffering breathing problems in patients to stimulate their respiratory muscles, so the muscles to maintain the operation.

Plant lighting new direction | LED illumination or plant diseases can be suppressed

US Department of Agriculture and the US Food and Agricultural Research Institute (NIFA) It will provide $ 1.7 million funding allows researchers to carry out the use of light to inhibit a variety of pathogens research program. Mark `Elijah (Mark Rea) Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Director of the Lighting Research Center, will cover Road and Cornell University David `Agriculture and Life Sciences (David Gadoury) Cooperation involved in this research program. Joint research and two Norwegian research groups, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and the Norwegian Center for Biological Economy Research.


US Department of Agriculture (USDA) As well as the United States Food and Agricultural Research (NIFA) We will provide $ 1.7 million (Equivalent to about 10.78 million yuan) Funding allows researchers to carry out the use of light to inhibit a variety of pathogens research program.

The research team will develop and test the UV-B and visible means of different production systems, to suppress powdery mildew (powdery mildew) Feasibility, to better understand how light affects the severity of the pathogen on the plant and development of these diseases.


The research team also shoulder the responsibility to promote, so that the public understand the importance of light on the control of plant diseases. And to further assist the relevant personnel to identify the most suitable sustainable crop production lighting technology.

US time on October 12, USDA and NIFA announced $ 50 million in funding for special crops research program (SCRI) .

The program aims to develop and promote the scientific method to solve problems specific crop concept, encompassing all the special category of crop production from the study of plant genes to develop new methods of production, design and find solutions to food poisoning.

NIFA bet many funds for high-tech agricultural research, education, and then extends to seek revolutionary solutions to social problems of mankind.

Clara intelligent lights: capable of detecting people brain waves

'Brain waves' for the people seems to be a particularly mysterious thing, because people can not visually to feel its strength. This spring, visual art gallery in New York, a group of researchers announced the start of production of a brain capable of detecting people Intelligent light waves - Clara.


Clara thinking can help people find them easily dispersible thinking centralized peak. This lamp with embedded speakers, you can adjust the sound and lighting conditions change according to the human brain waves. The very beginning, Clara can issue a warm, Soft lighting, help to stimulate people's creativity, focus, once the test to enter the time when the state, Clara lights will become increasingly bleak cold, loud speakers and noise emitted, the more concentrated your voice noisy louder, so exercise your powers of concentration and shielded from external interference.


So Clara is how to make out?

Package:
Arduino Uno
Adafruit Music Maker
Sparkfun Bluetooth devices
Adafruit 1M 60-LED light bar
Neurosky brain wave monitoring equipment
A 4Ω 3W speakers
USB power supply or 4 AA NiMH batteries (Everywhere, its own search)

Arduino library:
Adafruit Neopixel
Adafruit VS1053
kitschpatrol's Brain library
Related Arduino code is also available on Github.


I do not know if you have not played a child playing with toys EEG MindFlex, this toy is by focusing attention to control the ball movement, Clara creativity comes from this.

Previously, researchers have tried to find a predictable regularity waves brain, the study found that the brain there is a 'eureka moment when thinking about (eureka moment) ', That is the peak, the researchers hope to predict brain inspired this 'eureka moment' and shield interference in this time period, for example, when a genius Reflections on the street, sudden inspiration, but the inspiration may be street car song break, if we can predict inspiration, and intends to avoid the harsh environment can solve this problem.


But it seemed to be somewhat impractical, researchers have tried to use Clara to visualize the brain waves, and then let the people exercise when anyone thinking by lights and noise, try to keep in noisy environments can maintain attention.

Currently Clara still debugging, the effect is not very good, so it is not a video demo.
