Microfluidic temporal cell stimulation
This thesis presents a novel microfluidic platform for investigating cellular signaling networks, combining a programmable system for generating arbitrarily complex temporal input stimulant concentration profiles with real-time fluorogenic monitoring of cell physiological response. While cellular …

Hypergravitational stimulation of cell differentiation
… through many different modes of mechanical stimulation. Control of stem cell differentiation has been controlled in the past via mechanical stimulation. A plethora of studies have been conducted within this field documenting the effects of many mechanical stimuli such as vibration or …

The Electrical Stimulation of Bone Formation.
In 1957 Fukada demonstrated that bone has piezoelectric properties, that is, bone produces electric current and potential in response to mechanical forces. The same phenomena were reported in 1962 by Bassett who found that the potentials developed in the area of compression were negative, and …

Light Stimulation of Sensory Hair Cells
… here describes a novel method of hair-bundle stimulation: irradiation with light. The original aim of this study was to elucidate the role of Ca<sup>2+</sup> in fast adaptation, a process thought to underlie a hair bundle's ability to amplify stimuli. I aimed to do this by generating …

Artistic Modulation of Consciousness by Bioelectromagnetic Stimulation
… why the application of bioelectromagnetic stimulation as a medium of artistic expression allows for the production of new and unprecedented realisations of integrative art. Furthermore, the modulation of consciousness in human beings relating with such realisations is argued to be the core …

Toward the Optimal Waveform for Electrical Stimulation
<p>Electrical stimulation (ES) is used to strengthen muscle, improve abnormal tone, and improve the healing rate of pressure sores. Four male and three female research subjects received four minute bouts of electrically stimulated isometric contractions equal to 10% of the maximal voluntary …

Fetal responsiveness to auditory and tactile stimulation
… behavioural responses to auditory and tactile stimulation. Responses were examined for the second- and third-trimester fetuses (second-trimester ≤ 27 gestational weeks (wGA), third- trimester >27 wGA), in both experiments, respectively.<br/><br/>Experiment 1 of this thesis examined fetal …

Translational Modeling of Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation
… effect of low amplitude non-invasive electrical stimulation in people using neurophysiological measures (motor evoked potentials, MEPs). Clinical applications of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) have since proliferated, though the mechanisms are not fully understood. Efforts to …

Brain stimulation reveals neural mechanisms of stereopsis
… brain function, I use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which allows me to causally relate induced changes in neural activity with changes in depth perception. This way I can map out neural mechanisms of stereopsis within the visual cortex. As a first step, I conducted a proof of …

Biomimetic electrical stimulation for cardiac tissue engineering
… of the tissue being replaced. Electrical stimulation has been used to induce synchronous contractions of cultured cardiac constructs. The hypothesis adopted for this study is that functional cardiac constructs can be engineered by "mimicking" the conditions present during cardiac …
