  • Publication number: 20230100414
    Abstract: A device may include an image capturing component to obtain images of an environment of a user, and a light projection system. The light projection system may include a laser source and an optical imager. The device may process, in real-time, images captured by the image capturing component to derive signals for controlling the laser source, provide the signals to the laser source to enable the laser source to generate a laser beam pattern, cause the optical imager to raster scan the laser beam pattern to an absorptive element. The absorptive element may be disposed on or in the user, and positioned proximate to a region-of interest, of the user, that includes neuronal cells. The laser beam pattern may cause the absorptive element to produce acoustic energy that cause depolarization of the neuronal cells. The sensory stimulation may enable the user to visually and/or auditorily perceive the environment.

  • Publication number: 20220031166
    Abstract: A device may obtain imaging data. The imaging data that is obtained depicts one or more body parts of a patient. A voltage sensitive dye may be applied to stain nerve tissue associated with the one or more body parts of the patient. The voltage sensitive dye may be activated by neuromodulation applied to stimulate the nerve tissue. The imaging data may capture a fluorescence of the nerve tissue based on the voltage sensitive dye being activated by neuromodulation. The device may provide the imaging data for display.

  • Publication number: 20220031224
    Abstract: The present disclosure is associated with monitoring health of a patient. An example electromagnetic-evoked acoustic device includes an electromagnetic component to emit energy toward tissue of a patient to cause the energy to be absorbed by the tissue; an ultrasound transmission component to transmit acoustic energy toward the tissue to cause a biological response from the tissue; and an ultrasound sensing component to sense the biological response from the tissue to permit a status of the tissue to be determined, wherein the biological response is sensed based on the energy absorbed by the tissue during the biological response.

  • Publication number: 20070265350
    Abstract: Methods of identifying agents that inhibit ROS by altering the binding of a GTPase such as Rac to SOD, agents identified by the method, and methods of using compounds that inhibit ROS to inhibit or treat neuronal degenerative diseases, are provided.
