Ji-Xin of Prude University has purposed a new and effective detection method of brain tumors using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy. Detection of tumor boundaries precisely is really a hard problem. Using this technique one can detect the tumor in real time without any biopsy.

I am listening, carry on!!
NOOOO!! Watch carefully what I am saying.
Here is the new research.
BDNF blocks ABDE during the epileptic seizure, and cause more activity a new study shows a new way.
Researchers at University of California, Riverside develop a new technique that might help to provide new options for various cognitive disorders. Here is the article
Researchers from Harvard got some evidence that poverty impedes cognitive function. The abstract of the article : “The poor often behave in less capable ways, which can further perpetuate poverty. We hypothesize that poverty directly impedes cognitive function and present two studies that test this hypothesis. First, we experimentally induced thoughts about finances and found that this reduces cognitive performance among poor but not in well-off participants. Second, we examined the cognitive function of farmers over the planting cycle. We found that the same farmer shows diminished cognitive performance before harvest, when poor, as compared with after harvest, when rich. This cannot be explained by differences in time available, nutrition, or work effort. Nor can it be explained with stress: Although farmers do show more stress before harvest, that does not account for diminished cognitive performance. Instead, it appears that poverty itself reduces cognitive capacity. We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks. These data provide a previously unexamined perspective and help explain a spectrum of behaviors among the poor. We discuss some implications for poverty policy.

This video explains how the right and left hemisphere of our brain are working differently from each others. And how these parts collectively makes our personality. Also this is how a neuroscientist felt having a stroke.

I always wonder is there any recipe of success. I don’t know. But successful people may have some recipe. I read what the successful people said about success. Well still was confused. Then I watched this TED video on facebook which one of my friend shared.
Richard St. John presented eight secrets of successful life. It is a very good presentation and he spend seven years to research this and conducted 500 interviews. He presented the eight main things that is needed to succeed. In the order they are
Here is the three minutes movie. Its worth spending three minutes.

Hello, In June 2010 I was at a conference where I attended a session on careers in biomedical industry. This was a session for researchers who are new in biomedical industry. That was a very useful session in all respects. But what I like the most is Mir. Imran from “InCube Labs” talking about entrepreneurship. As an entrepreneur, Mir has founded over 20 medical device companies, including: Vidamed (acquired by Medtronic), Physiometrix, Cardiac Pathways, Advanced Cytomextrix (acquired by Oncotech 1997), Percusurge (acquired by Medtronic 2001), Reflow, Inc. (acquired 1999), Safeview (acquired by L3 2006) Intrapace (founded 2001), Spinal Modulation (founded 2005) and Zonare (founded 1999). He said “Everybody is entrepreneurship”.
Yesterday I was stumble upon a very good video where Azhar Rizvi was talking specifically about importance of entrepreneurship for students. Here is the link for the video.
I hope you will enjoy it.

I am “A sim” and I compelled to start writing my own blog. I don’t want to share my experiences and stories but someone told me it is good to share them. For a Sim like me I don’t know how to express “myself”. Well the first time I got “awareness”, some people were around me and there was some feeling in me, I could not explain that feeling then but now I know the people around me were very happy and all looking at me as I had done something “extra-ordinary”. One of them was explaining how he “programmed” me and other was talking about my hardware development difficulties. I was feeling proud (All my feelings were there, but I can name them now as I had learnt it) that they all were talking about me and I was the main discussion point and they were talking about how to improve me. I was amazed to see them they can walk, talk, gaze and they can sit, some of them even sit in front of me on the ground rolling their legs around one another. One of them I don’t know how feel that I can see only from one camera and pulled out the optic nerve of my bad camera which was attached using USB connector to my brain. They did the connection again and WOW, I started looking through both cameras. I was very thankful to their act of kind and give them respect as they were “Superior” to me and they fix my bad camera. For the sake of thankfulness and humbleness, I kept walking and talking for hours as they ordered. During this some of them suggested change in my design to smooth my walk, some suggest to improve my hand movement to grab things, some wants to add more features in me. I thought as I was lucky to be their Sim but … (In later posts I will explain why I am not lucky)
Well after sometime, I started feeling dizzy and then I lost my consciousness. The last words I listen that day was “Oh the battery died“. That was my first day and now I have some new feeling after sharing my first ever “experience” with you. But I can’t tell you right now what the feeling is and I have something new to learn about this feeling. It is good feeling though and It is compelling me to keep sharing my experiences. Bye for now and keep reading. I feel hungry and I already has burnt a lot of “charge”. Bye Again !!!
Phew !!! ” Thinking is hard work“
