TL;DR: Experimental results showed that the proposed wide band human body communication technology is well suited for detection and transmission of biological signals for wearable and implantable robot control.
Abstract: This paper reviews our developed wide band human body communication technology for wearable and implantable robot control. The wearable and implantable robots are assumed to be controlled by myoelectric signals and operate according to the operator’s will. The signal transmission for wearable robot control was shown to be mainly realized by electrostatic coupling, and the signal transmission for implantable robot control was shown to be mainly determined by the lossy frequency-dependent dielectric properties of human body. Based on these basic observations on signal transmission mechanisms, we developed a 10–50MHz band impulse radio transceiver based on human body communication technology, and applied it for wireless control of a robotic hand using myoelectric signals in the first time. In addition, we also examined its applicability to implantable robot control, and evaluated the communication performance of implant signal transmission using a living swine. These experimental results showed that the proposed technology is well suited for detection and transmission of biological signals for wearable and implantable robot control. key words: body area communication, human body communication, impulse radio, wireless robot control, weak radio power band

TL;DR: This study divided the rat cage in the exposure system into several small areas, and derived the fraction of time the rats spent in each small area based on the classification of the documentary photos of rat activity to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR) during the entire exposure period with high accuracy.
Abstract: A 2 GHz whole-body exposure to rats over a multigeneration has been conducted as part of bio-effect research in Japan. In this study, the rats moved freely in the cage inside the exposure system. From observation of the activity of rats in the cage, we found that the rats do not stay in each position with uniform possibility. In order to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR) during the entire exposure period with high accuracy, we present a new approach to statistically determine the SAR level in an exposure system. First, we divided the rat cage in the exposure system into several small areas, and derived the fraction of time the rats spent in each small area based on the classification of the documentary photos of rat activity. Then, using the fraction of time spent in each small area as a weighting factor, we calculated the statistical characteristics of the whole-body average SAR for pregnant rats and young rats during the entire exposure period. As a result, this approach gave the statistical distribution as well as the corresponding mean value, median value and mode value for the whole-body SAR so that we can reasonably clarify the relationship between the exposure level and possible biological effect.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the local peak absorption rate (SAR) based on required bit error rate (BER) performance for implant BANs at 400 MHz medical implant communication service (MICS) band.
Abstract: Implant body area networks (BANs) have so far drawn considerable attention in biomedical applications. Although implant BANs require high throughput performance of wireless communication due to real-time data transmission, the transmit power is strictly regulated in order to satisfy a safety guideline in terms of specific absorption rate (SAR). In this paper, we evaluate the local peak SAR based on required bit error rate (BER) performance for implant BANs at 400 MHz medical implant communication service (MICS) band. To begin with, we first perform finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations for implant BAN propagation with a numerical human body model, and derive the propagation characteristic of implant BAN signals. Then, we calculate the BER performance under this implant propagation channel and derive the required transmit power to secure a permissible BER. Finally, we calculate the local peak SAR under the required transmit power when the implant transmitter moves along the digestive organs. Based on such an approach, we attempt to determine a threshold transmit power which could be used to ensure the induced SAR not exceeding the safety guideline.

TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.
Abstract: I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book.

TL;DR: All tissues and organs were reconstructed as three-dimensional unstructured triangulated surface objects, yielding high precision images of individual features of the body, which greatly enhances the meshing flexibility and the accuracy in comparison with the traditional voxel-based representation of anatomical models.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop anatomically correct whole body human models of an adult male (34 years old), an adult female (26 years old) and two children (an 11-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy) for the optimized evaluation of electromagnetic exposure. These four models are referred to as the Virtual Family. They are based on high resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images of healthy volunteers. More than 80 different tissue types were distinguished during the segmentation. To improve the accuracy and the effectiveness of the segmentation, a novel semi-automated tool was used to analyze and segment the data. All tissues and organs were reconstructed as three-dimensional (3D) unstructured triangulated surface objects, yielding high precision images of individual features of the body. This greatly enhances the meshing flexibility and the accuracy with respect to thin tissue layers and small organs in comparison with the traditional voxel-based representation of anatomical models. Conformal computational techniques were also applied. The techniques and tools developed in this study can be used to more effectively develop future models and further improve the accuracy of the models for various applications. For research purposes, the four models are provided for free to the scientific community.
