  1. 11. Analog input in gaming: Investigating the possibilities of new controller affordances in video games

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Pim Ostendorf; [2018]
    Keywords : Interaction Design; Video Games; Controller mapping; Fine motor control; Fighting Games; Alternative controls;

    Abstract : This report covers the eight week design project for the Thesis Project 1 and it looks at both the process and the results of this project. Through an iterative prototyping process a prototype was created to answer the research question: “What gameplay mechanics are required for a fighting style video game to allow for analog input in its character movements and do these mechanics allow for more natural controls and mastery?” Together with research into academic writing in the fields of neurology, embodied design and game design it was concluded that an analog control scheme, within the context of a video game that allows for that type of affordance, gives the user more natural control over the character they are playing.

  3. 12. Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy Using Non-spreading Airy Beams

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Author : Aleksandrs Leitis; [2016]
    Keywords : Microscopy; Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy; Light Sheet Microscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Recently a new field of microscopy has emerged, known as selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM). Using a SPIM setup the sample is illuminated with a thin light sheet from the side. The selective plane illumination overcomes many problems that conventional microscopes have. READ MORE

  4. 13. A1M, Hb and tryptophan metabolism in R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Sylvia Karlberg; [2012]
    Keywords : Huntington s Disease; kynurenine; tryptophan metabolism; A1M; Alpha-1-microglobulin; hemoglobin; neurology; neurobiology; neurochemistry; immune system; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurotoxic metabolites generated from tryptophan metabolism are increasingly regarded as a pathogenic mechanism in neurological and psychiatric disease including Huntington’s disease (HD). Specifically, the tryptophan-derived neurotoxin 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) accumulates in HD brain and is capable of damaging neurons through excessive ROS-production and oxidative stress. READ MORE

  5. 14. Scientific Theories on the Déjà Vu Phenomenon

    University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

    Author : Rickard Redgård; [2009]
    Keywords : déjà vu; familiarity; neurology; memory; attention; cognition;

    Abstract : The term ”déjà vu” was first introduced around the 1890s in order to separate thephenomenon from other paramnesias, but a clear consensus on its definition was not reacheduntil mid 20th century. Since the middle of the 19th century, several dozens ofparapsychological, pseudoscientific and scientific theories have been proposed to explain thedéjà vu phenomenon, ranging from “messages from God” to “delayed neural transmissionspeed”.

  6. 15. From innovation to clinical value : An evaluation of innovative neurological medical devices

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Jonas Grundström; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A global mapping of early stage medical technology companies has been implemented. The companies have emerging products within neurology and have undergone an evaluation by clinicians concerning the ability to provide clinical value for Swedish health care. READ MORE
