New software to advance brain image research developed

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 26, 2011) — A University of Colorado Boulder research team has developed a new software program allowing neuroscientists to produce single brain images pulled from hundreds of individual studies, trimming weeks and even months from what can be a tedious, time-consuming research process.

The development of noninvasive neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, spurred a huge amount of...

Keeping bugs out of software for self-driving cars: Analysis verifies safety of distributed car control system

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 21, 2011) — Driver assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control and automatic braking, promise to someday ease traffic on crowded routes and prevent accidents. Proving that these automated systems will work as intended is a daunting task, but computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have now demonstrated it is possible to verify the safety of these highly complex systems.

To do so, the researchers first...

New software improves the maintenance and management of forests

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 15, 2011) — New software developed by the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) can generate maps of forest areas with information on timber volume, biomass or height of the trees, among other variables.

The development of this software by the Group of Geoenvironmental Cartography and Remote Sensing is part of the INFOREST project coordinated by COTESA (Center for Observation and Spatial Remote Sensing S.A.U) and funded...

New software 'hearing dummies' pave the way for tailor-made hearing aids

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 14, 2011) — New software 'hearing dummies' are part of cutting-edge research that promises to revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of hearing impairments.

The work could also be used in the long-term to develop a radical new type of hearing aid that can be customised using the hearing dummy to meet the different needs of individual patients. If the procedures gain clinical acceptance, a device could reach the market...
