WPI Launches Transdisciplinary Masters Degree Program in Neuroscience
This Worcester place of learning just never stops. Recognizing the urgent need to develop a better understanding of the brain, behavior, and the causes of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has launched a master of science program in neuroscience with a unique focus on artificial intelligence and computational techniques and approaches. The program will prepare neuroscientists with the broad interdisciplinary skills needed to tackle one of the most important scientific challenges of our age and develop a new generation of treatments.
The transdisciplinary masters in neuroscience degree program has four primary focus areas: computational neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, and psychological science.
With over 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, the brain is among the most complex biological system known and holds the key to who we are and how we perceive and interact with the world, said Jean King, Peterson Family Dean of Arts and Sciences and professor of neuroscience. The complexity of this system has made it difficult to develop effective treatments for neurological disorders.
WPIs neuroscience degree program is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in biology, biochemistry, computer science, mathematics, neuroscience, psychology, or related fields and has theses and non-theses options.

Several months ago, The Research Bureau published a very informative report suggesting that if the WRTA went fare-free that it would dramatically increase ridership. About 40 American cities and towns have or hope to go fare-free, including Kansas City, according to an announcement from the Worcester FareFree Task Force.
At the same time, I had filed an order with the Worcester City Council stating that the WRTA service was inefficient and underutilized while being quite costly to city taxpayers, said Worcester City Councilor Gary Rosen. Realizing how important and necessary our transit service is to so many individuals and families, my goal was to encourage our city (and state) elected and appointed officials to take steps to improve service and get more riders back on those buses. Thankfully, that is now happening.
The Research Bureaus report, Sen. Harriett Chandler and Rosen were recruited to join a recently-formed committee that was looking into the feasibility of making the WRTA fare-free. Made up of visionary individuals who want to retain but improve the WRTA, the committee has been meeting regularly for months in the hopes of implementing an appealing fare-free transit system at no additional cost to Worcesters residential and commercial taxpayers.
The next meeting, on Thursday, Dec. 19, at 10 AM sharp, starts at the HUB, 60 Foster St., on the #5 WRTA bus. Participants, and that can include you, ride that bus along with its regular patrons on its normal route.

5 Things You Need to Know Today in Worcester - Dec. 18, 2019 - This Week In Worcester
Citing research conducted at eleven different universities, the author of a new book entitled, "Consciousness, The Hard Problem Solved," reveals what he believes is the origin of consciousness and is both praised and ridiculed as a result.
Richmond, VA, December 18, 2019 --(PR.com)-- According to Scientific Materialists, the Hard Problem, is devising a theory to explain how the brain creates consciousness. Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin says it is not only hard but impossible for them because they have been looking in the wrong place. In his new book, he offers a solution based on the findings of research conducted at almost a dozen universities including the University of Virginia, the University of California at Berkeley, Yale University, Duke University, and Columbia University among others. Since its release a month ago, the book has climbed into the top tier of its category on Amazon.com.
One reviewer, who gave it five stars, wrote that this new title is, One of the most thought provoking books I've read in a long time! You would have to be really closed minded not to see the simple logic and very well proven documentation presented!
Another reviewer trashed the book, whose review has since been removed, called it, a rehash of near death experiences.
Martin said, Obviously the second reviewer didnt actually read the book because there is not one single near death experience recounted in it - not one. But Im not surprised. Scientific Materialism has become a secular religion for many, and when someone dares question any of the dogma their religion is based upon, that persons work is immediately and vehemently put down.
Martin went on to say, As the 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer [1788-1860] once said, All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident. Its clear that at least some Scientific Materialists are stuck in the ridicule-to-violently-oppose stages. Fortunately, it appears that open-minded individuals tend to see the truth in what Ive written, and so I believe it is only a matter of time before my explanation for the source of consciousness is accepted as self-evident.

Neuroscience Market Will Generate Massive Revenue In Future 20162024 - Industry News Ledger
Optogenetics, a tool for controlling neurons with light, has given neuroscientists the ability to flip brain cells on and off more or less at will, revolutionizing neuroscience.
Yet the technique faces a fundamental challenge: To study all but the outermost part of the brain, researchers need to implant fiber optics or other invasive devices to deliver light deep into the brain.
Now, inProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,Stanford researchersreportthat theyve found a less invasive way to do so: injectable nanoparticles that convert sound waves, which can easily penetrate into the brain, into light.
Our question was, can we eliminate all these implants for delivering light? Our approach has offered a much less invasive alternative, saidGuosong Hong, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and a member of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.
Developed in part at Stanford, optogenetics is based on the idea that scientists can genetically modify cells, such as neurons, to make some of their functions switch on and off with visible light. Researchers have used that tool to better understand how information flows between different regions of the brain, study the underpinnings of social behavior, cognition and memory, and better understand neurological diseases such as Parkinsons.
The challenge is that even in the best cases, the light optogenetics needs to work penetrates only the topmost layers of the brain. Studying deeper brain regions requires light-delivering implants such as optical fibers. Not only are those implants invasive, they limit how many parts of the brain researchers can study at a time.
One less invasive alternative is sonogenetics, which uses ultrasound waves to turn genes on and off. Unlike light, sound particularly ultrasound can penetrate deep into tissues throughout the body, including the brain. But the technique is brand new, and so far there are few genes that can be modified to be controlled by ultrasound.
Still, Hong and his team figured, ultrasound has potential, particularly if they could find a way to convert sound into light and as it turned out, there is such a way in the form of mechanoluminescent materials, such as zinc sulfide, that emit light when an external pressure is applied. By doping zinc-sulfide nanoparticles with cobalt, Hong and his team found they could store light energy in the nanoparticles and release it later on with ultrasound. Further doping the particles with silver tuned them to release just the right wavelengths of light to activate optogenetically modified neurons, regardless of where those neurons are in the brain.
With those advances in hand, two obstacles remained. First, the team needed to get the nanoparticles close to neurons in the brain without invasive implants. Second, they needed a way to charge them up so they would be ready to release light when they reached their destination. To solve both problems, Hong and his team injected their nanoparticles into mouse blood vessels, so that the nanoparticles were constantly flowing throughout the body notably, in the brain and in the skin. When nanoparticles flow through the skin, the team reasoned, light penetrates deeply enough to charge up the particles. In the brain, light from the nanoparticles is close enough to activate optogenetically modified neurons.
Hong and colleagues tested their idea first in an artificial circulatory system to show they could get the nanoparticles to light up, recharge and light up again. They next injected the same particles into mice and carefully positioned them underneath a device that aimed ultrasound at motor control circuits in their brains. Then, the team found, they could get mice to wiggle their legs just by turning on the ultrasound.
One remaining issue, Hong said, is making their ultrasound system small enough to deploy in a wider range of experiments. Another issue is that the nanoparticles themselves, while rechargeable, only last a few hours before they get filtered out of the blood, a lifetime the team hopes to extend.
But if those problems can be solved, this approach could enable researchers to produce light sources anywhere and anytime inside the body at will without invasive implants. If that works out, it could make optogenetic treatments for neurological disease less invasive, Hong said, and perhaps extend the applications of light therapy, similar to that used to treat certain kinds of skin cancer, as well.
I really envision this as a method not just for optogenetics but for any application that needs a light source deep in the body, Hong said.

Engineers develop a less invasive way to study the brain - Stanford University News
An international research team comprising neuroscientists at Virginia Tech, University College London, and the University of London revealed brain mechanisms and functional regions that underlie confirmation bias a phenomenon where people strongly favor information that reinforces their existing opinions over contradictory ones.
The study provides insight into a fundamental property of belief formation that has been documented by psychologists and economists, as well as in popular literature, including George Orwells 1984. People tend to disregard information that conflicts with their past choices, no matter how authoritative or factual the new information may be.
We are watching this all over the news, said P. Read Montague, a professor and director of the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and an honorary professor at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging at University College London. It is the mystery of decision-making. People routinely make decisions that cut across their own best interests. We clearly know this in areas like drug abuse, overeating, or any repetitive activity during which people disregard obviously beneficial advice.
In the study, participants from Roanoke and Blacksburg, Virginia, arrived at the laboratory in pairs and were introduced to each other before retiring to individual cubicles. They played a real estate game, made wagers for cash, and then re-evaluated their decisions in light of the wagers made by their partners.
Researchers combined functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with the behavioral task. Participants blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) variables were examined through moderated mediation analysis, capturing a relationship between brain activity and multiple levels of performance, and testing whether the mediation is different for conditions of agreement and disagreement.
When participants learned their partners agreed with their opinions, they significantly increased their bets, thus confirming they were confident with their decision. Participants only slightly decreased their wagers when their partners disagreed.
The impact of the partners opinion was far greater when it confirmed the players judgment, and the partners opinion was more likely to be disregarded when it was contradictory consistent with confirmation bias.
The functional brain imaging data revealed a region whose activity modulation was associated with decision-making and memory. The posterior medial prefrontal cortex mediated the strength of confirming opinions over disconfirming opinions and tracked agreements more closely than disagreements.
We are using functional neuroimaging and computational neuroscience to take apart the mechanisms that look at why we are biased to make one kind of decision versus another, what neural structures are involved, and how do these change across development and across states of health, disease, and brain injury, Montague said. In that sense, the study contributes directly to understanding why people make decisions. It has implications for institutions all across our culture where people make judgments that are either against or congruent with their own interests.

Revealing the Neural Basis of Confirmation Bias - Technology Networks
Australian med-tech company Anatomics has conducted a study on the benefits of 3D printed patient-specific medical models for pre-surgical planning.
Using its 3D printed SpineBox kit to support spinal fusion surgery, Anatomics has measured the performance of the models on 129 patients, over a period of 27 months. These patients were all undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) at a single centre, performed by the same surgeon. From the results, Anatomics has concluded that MIS TLIF represents a viable application for 3D printed patient-specific models, improving the efficiency and quality of the operation.
3D printed sternum implants
Based in Melbourne, Anatomics specializes in manufacturing and marketing surgical products to surgeons locally and internationally.
Working with Lab 22, the 3D printing service bureau arm of CSIRO (the Australian federal government agency for scientific research), Anatomics has 3D printed a number of medical implants over the years. In 2015 the company helped to design and 3D print a titanium sternum and rib implant for a 54-year-old patient in Spain, diagnosed with a chest wall sarcoma.Following this, again with Lab 22, it 3D printed a composite sternum and rib cage implant for a patient in the U.S. The implant was provided to a surgical team, led by Jeffrey L. Port of the New York-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell hospitals, who successfully performed the implant procedure on 20-year-old Penelope Heller.
Anatomics 3D printed sternum implant has also been implemented on a patient in the UK at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham. The operation was the subject of a BBC TV series that aired in 2017 named Trust Me, Im a doctor, which went on to inspire further 3D printed titanium implant procedures.
How useful are 3D printed patient-specific models?
To carry out its study of surgical guides, Anatomics used patient imaging and surgical planning software to manufacture 3D printed patient-specific MIS TLIF kits for each of the 129 patients. These kits consisted of a 1:1 scale BioModel of the patients spine, stereotactic K-wire guide, osteotomy guide, and muscle retractors.
Each of the 3D printed spine models was used pre-operatively for surgical planning, patient consent, and education. Specifically, the BioModels can support procedures such as nerve decompression, fusion cage implantation, and help to provide accurate completion of the spinal construct.
To measure the efficiency of the 3D printed models on the patients, Anatomics considered the operating time, sterile tray usage, fluoroscopy screening time, operative waste and median hospital stay when using the BioModels. The accuracy of the planning provided by the 3D printed models was analyzed according to the number of screws and rods used if the interbody case measurements matched intraoperative data, and deviations in the implant size and screw placements.
After reviewing data gathered from postoperative CT scans, Anatomics concluded that its SpineBox kit presents a new benchmark for efficiency and quality in spinal fusion procedures. Notably, it found that the 3D printed models achieved a pedicle screw placement accuracy of 97.8 percent. However, there were some complications, including one intraoperative dural tear, and six reoperations. Not only are they helpful in treatment, but also in education for patients, as it allows the surgeon to explain in detail the nature of the surgery according to the specific individual.
Measuring the performance of patient-specific solutions for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery is published in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, ScienceDirect. It is co-authored by Ganesha K.Thayaparan, Mark G.Owbridge, Matthew Linden, Robert G.Thompson, Philip M.Lewis, and Paul S.DUrso.

Anatomics proves viability of 3D printed surgical guides - 3D Printing Industry
Emerging technologies are contributing towards new developments in various branches of science, be it drug discovery or faster disease detection. The field of neuroscience is also reaping the benefits of modern technology as a graduate of the Berkeley SkyDeck accelerator program, Humm, has created a new device that claims to improve your working memory.
Take a look at winners of EIT Digital Challenge 2019.
Back in April, a study published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience found some fascinating results. Under the study, a mild electric stimulation was applied to 70 year old participants and their performance in certain memory tasks was noted to be on par with 20-year-olds. It was conducted by researchers from Boston University.
Drawing from over 30 years of research in the field of neuroscience research, Humm created a device that applies a mild electrical stimulation to help stimulate the brain and improve memory. The startup has now raised 2.3 million in seed round that was led by the Berlin-based investor Blueyard Capital.
With the latest round of funding, Humms total disclosed funding amount is 2.7 million. As mentioned above, it secured 2.3 million in its latest round of funding, which was led by the Berlin-based investor Blueyard Capital. CRCM Venture Capital and the Berkeley SkyDeck Fund participated with additional funding.
Humm will utilise latest funding to launch its first product, a wearable patch and a companion software app. The patch is called humm and it is clinically proven to help improve working memory by applying gentle stimulation to the brains attention and learning center. The device uses transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to boost the power of theta waves produced in our brain that is touted to restore information flow and improve the ability to recall. The product is slated to hit the market in 2020.
Humm stimulates activity in the prefrontal cortex of your brain, which is linked to enable essential cognitive functions such as learning, decision making and problem solving. The company says that one will need to use the device for merely 15 minutes and they will get a mental boost for up to 90 minutes. Humm users can expect better recollection of learned material, better focus and multitasking, without the ill-effects arising from chemical stimulants like coffee.

Berlin-based investor bets big on Humm, a wearable that can boost your memory and focus - Silicon Canals
Imagine a world where learning is effortless, where communication and control of technology are as simple as a thought and where every person has the power to expand their intelligence. In the last ten years, cutting edge neuroscience has opened new horizons for the improvement of the human brain.
At the forefront of this advancement is Humm, a neuroscience startup working to bring the incredible results of neuroscience research out of the lab and into non-invasive wearables that improve the quality of life for everyday people. Humm isthe maker of the first affordable, wearable patch for providing electrical stimulation to your brain,
Today, Humm announced it has closed a $2.6 million seed round, bringing total funding to $3.1 million.The Humm device has been clinically studied and shown to improve memory and learning. It is a disposable wearable patch, like a big bandaid and was tested in UCSF neuroscience clinical trials which showed that people can experience close to 20% faster learning speed after one 15-minute session. Humms product is used by the Air Force to help its pilots in training.
The round was led by Blueyard Capital with additional funding from CRCM Venture Capital and follow-on funding from the Berkeley SkyDeck Fund. Joining the companys board are Jason Whitmire, General Partner of Blueyard and Ariel Poler. Poler is a prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor and long-standing executive of the successful consumer health company Strava and UCSFs Health Hub.
Founded in 2017 byAhmud Auleear, Christopher Norman, Iain McIntyre, and Timothy Fiori, theBerkeley, California-based Humm is a recent graduate of the Berkeley SkyDeck accelerator. The startup is working with leading neuroscientists to bring its first patch to market; making neurostimulation technology 100-times cheaper and allowing users to experience the benefits in three minutes.
The new funding will be used to launch Humms first product, a wearable patch and software app that makes learning faster and easier by strengthening the neural circuits which regulate memory in the brain. The Humm patch is the first technology that has been shown to measurably improve working memory within just minutes of use, and for hours after. A persons working memory determines how many numbers, names and other facts they can hold in mind at any time, and improving it allows a user to do things like learn skills and information faster, focus better and multitask more effectively.
Ciarn OLeary, General Partner at Blueyard Capital stated, As software and biology continue to be on a collision course, new technology paradigms will emerge that will unleash creativity and empower scientists, clinicians and engineers to read, edit and write biology including key human functions. Humms technology improves the performance of the human mind and has the potential to expand healthspan for millions of people. So we are excited to be working with a team that is reinventing the form factor and experience of brain stimulation.
This is a very important time for Humm, said Iain McIntyre, Humm CEO and Co-founder. Using the patch is as easy as sticking on a BAND-AIDnothing bulky or awkward. In a 15-minute session, our clinical trial shows a 20 percent improvement in working memory capacity [against placebo] within the first three minutes of wearing a patch, that then lasts for more than an hour afterwards. In our testing with hundreds of early access users this year weve seen people doing exciting things with that boost, like accelerating the speed they can learn a language or remembering more of what they read.
Working with top neuroscientists in the field of neurostimulation at UC Berkeley and UCSF, Humm is continuing to refine the easy-to-use and inexpensive (less than $10) patch. The product is worn on the forehead, just above the prefrontal cortexa critical area of the brain for decision making and learning. It uses non-invasive electrical stimulation, which has been studied for the past 30 years and Humms particular method of choice, known as tACS, takes advantage of some of the latest exciting research in the area.
The companys early access store is now closed after receiving thousands of pre-orders from customers and a substantial order from the U.S. Airforce, but those wanting to be among the first to try may join a waitlist at http://www.thinkhumm.com. Humm plans to make the patch available to consumers in Q3 2020. The product will be demonstrated at the upcoming CES conference in Las Vegas January 2020. (Demo at the SkyDeck exhibit at the RAVV booth in Eureka Park #51263).
Our vision is to use this novel technology to replace medication and supplementation for the brain with a healthier, better alternative that nurtures and improves our mental capabilities,Added Mcintyre.
