Application of acoustic-electric interaction for neuro-muscular activity mapping: A review

Abstract

Acousto-electric interaction signal (AEI signal) resulting from interaction of acoustic pressure wave and electrical current field has received recent attention in biomedical field for detection and registration of bioelectrical current. The signal is of very small value and brings about several challenges when detecting it. Several observations on the AEI signal have been done in saline solution and on nerves and tissues under controlled condition that give optimistic indication for its utilization. Ultrasound Current Source Density Imaging (UCSDI) has been introduced, that uses the AEI signal to image the current distribution. This review provides an overview of the investigations on the AEI signal and USCDI imaging that has been made, their results and several considerations on the limitations and future possibilities on using the acousto-electric interaction signal.

From BAM to BEM, a personal journey through EJTM and PaduaMuscleDays

“…This has become a very important research topic during the subsequent years [10]. So given this history, it will not be a surprise to find that the Collection of Abstracts of the 2017 Spring PaduaMuscleDays covers a new discovery on the mechanisms of Ca 2+ handling at ultrastructural level and spans to cover work on take-home rehabilitation strategies to rejuvenate older old humans [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Additional information is in the 2017SpPMD PROMO at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdbbeQFi9z8&t=4s and in the new Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ UCshXMdDxpuOKa7eCWMBRqLg/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_ id=0 The conference is, indeed, expanding beyond the boundaries of time and walls to include the internet and social media.…”
