Wearable bracelet tracks bipolar mood swings: changing electrical signals in skin linked to manic or depressed moods

Researchers have announced preliminary results of using wearable technology to measure electrical impulses in the skin and other physiological biomarkers which might be associated with mood changes in bipolar disorder. The work is at an early stage, but they hope that they will be able to build on these patterns to detect mood swings in bipolar disorder sufferers, so helping […]

Breakthrough in understanding motor neuron disease

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have made a major discovery in understanding motor neuron disease (MND). The research team has found that MND has 4 distinct patterns of changes in electrical signals that can be identified using EEG (electroencephalography). This breakthrough will be extremely valuable in identifying patients for clinical trials and will assist in finding new treatments for this […]
