An abled individual is believed to be capable of withstanding and overcoming the severe tremors of an earthquake as has been ascertained in a previous study. However, the event-related physiological mechanisms of human postural stability during an earthquake are subject to further investigation. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to further characterize postural stability in a simulated environment...
Vision loss has severe impacts on its victims, carrying with it physiological, psychological, social, and economic consequences thereby degrading the quality of life and depriving the individual from performing many of the daily living activities. This article describes the design and development of a prototype retinal prosthesis for visual stimulation. The system consists of a webcam, a notebook...
This article describes the design and development process of an eye tracking-based computer system that benefits from the intact ocular motor control of the completely locked-in patient to provide him or her with an alternative means of communication. A completely locked-in patient is an individual who has lost all types of motor control and communication ability with people in his or her environment...
Much is still unknown about the control of posture and postural stability within the unstable environment of an earthquake. Hence, the objectives behind this study were to investigate the lower-extremity muscular response and head acceleration of human subjects in maintaining postural stability during the event of a simulated seismic activity. In order to achieve these goals, an earthquake simulator...
While biomedical engineering education is thus far undergoing advancement in leading institutions worldwide, there are many areas of the globe where it is still absent. This article depicts the experience behind the development of a premier comprehensive undergraduate program in biomedical engineering in Lebanon and conceivably the Arab world. The program has been carefully planned with deliberation...
