Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is expected to be used in image reconstruction of accumulated visceral fat in the human abdomen, where the accumulated visceral fat may be rel...

Because touch is a mechanical interaction between the skin and an object, unconstrained tactile sensing is a challenging issue. In this research we studied spatial transparency, a ...

In this article, we propose a novel method for facilitating underwater electromyographic measurement, without using an adhesive waterproof film. This method employs a waterproofed ...

We evaluated the potential of using a compact, high-power quantum cascade laser (QCL) in the 5.7-µm wavelength range for less-invasive laser angioplasty, by observing the effects o...

Shock waves have recently attracted attention for their effects on biological soft tissues, such as angiogenesis. When shock waves are reflected at some surfaces of biological tiss...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral loads are reported to be lower in HCV-positive dialysis patients than in HCV-positive non-dialysis patients. Previously, we conducted in vitro experim...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows non-invasive and painless stimulation of local cerebral nerves using eddy current generated by electromagnetic induction with a TMS c...

There are typographical errors at the 3rd line in the caption of Fig. 3. "activated areas of VGS vs. AM, AM vs. Rest, and VGS vs. Rest, where BOLD signals" has been incorrectly pub...

Although hospital information systems (HIS) have recently become more widely used, data stored in HIS databases are not fully utilized in clinical research. One major reason is the...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an important marker of systemic atherosclerosis, and often leads to significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with end-stage ...

Since the conventional method of electrical stimulation delivered using an extracellular electrode has poor selectivity in terms of nerve fiber type, it is difficult to avoid recru...

To validate the performance of a newly developed normalized integrative functional magnetic resonance imaging-magnetoencephalography (fMRI-MEG) method and identify the temporal and...

In dental treatment, dental computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems have been introduced to assist dental technicians in fabricating dental prost...

Therapeutic use of ultrasound (US) has a great potential for minimally invasive therapy. We have studied acoustic microbubble delivery for effective sonoporation and thermal therap...

Measuring core body temperature is important in the study of human body temperature regulation in daily life. We measured core body temperature continuously using an ingestible cap...

Many useful signals measured on the body surface contain DC and extremely low frequency components. However, surface electrodes are not ideal for DC or low frequency signal measure...

We are pleased to announce that the first paper in Advanced Biomedical Engineering is now online.Biomedical engineering covers a wide range of science, and due to its multidiscipli...

The Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering was established on November 10, 1962 as a place of collaboration for researchers involved in biomedical engineering, in ...
