Assembly of Protein Tertiary Structures
In the last several years there has been exciting progress in the development of algorithms for ab initio protein folding: the generation of protein structures starting from amino acid sequence infor- mation alone (Kolinski & Skolnick, 1994; Bowie & Eisenberg, 1994; Yue & Dill, 1996, Srinivasan & Rose, 1995). Because of the many formidable pro- […]
System aspects of a bionic eyeglass
In spite of the impressive advances related to retinal prostheses, there is no imminent promise to make them soon available with a realistic performance to help navigating blind persons. In our new project, we are designing a Bionic Eyeglass that is providing a wearable TeraOps visual computing power to advise visually impaired people in their […]
The Past Present and Future of Bionic Devices Restoring Cranial Nerve Function
While cochlear implants have achieved widespread clinical application, with >120,000 devices in use worldwide, other potential applications for neuroelectronic interfaces in the head & neck have so far received less attention. Considering the important role cranial nerves play in communication, navigation, and other vital or life-enhancing functions, neural interfacing applications in the head and neck […]
