Stimulation of the semicircular canals can artificially control human walking and balance
By applying electrical currents across the heads of people while they walk, researchers have improved our understanding of how our vestibular system helps us maintain upright posture; at the same time, the researchers found that the stimulus could be applied in a way that allowed a person who was walking straight ahead to be steered by "remote control" without her balance being affected. The find...Two-dimensional Optimization of a Semi-nested PCR for Detecting Listeria monocytogenes
