Worldwide, millions of stroke survivors undergo prolonged cardiac monitoring, leading to the discovery of atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeats, in up to 1.5 million of these patients each year. A new study, published in The Lancet Neurology, des …
Starting Thursday, more than 100 neuroscience researchers from around the world are visiting Western to take part in the first international touchscreen symposium, ‘New frontiers in cognitive testing using touchscreen technology.’
Health-care professionals may soon have a clearer ‘window’ into heart disease while offering a near risk-free testing option to more than half a million Canadians, according to a recent study.
Fear of flying might seem an odd impetus for a scholarly study, but it was just the push Psychology PhD candidate Hiten Dave needed.
Newly discovered protein biomarkers could soon help oncologists differentiate with near certainty between two types of ovarian cancers, thus allowing for more precise treatment options.
Every office or family has one – the colleague who mistakenly walked into a wall or the sibling who mistook a closed glass door for an open entrance. Most of us, however, seem to have an innate sense of a room’s geometry. When we roll out of bed, our feet know exactly...
From tablets and smartphones, to glucose monitors and medicine dispensers, a new Western-led research project anticipates these and other smart technologies will be make a huge difference in the health – and lives – of those dealing with severe mental illness.
One year ago today, a team of Western graduate students launched a high-altitude balloon (HAB) 20 km into space with the lofty goal of studying the Earth’s stratosphere. The launch was a success. The retrieval not so much – at least until last week.
An international team of health-care investigators is piloting a new medical-delivery system that uses a ‘surgical strike’ approach to solve pandemic problems.
Western has opened the Canada Research Chair (CRC) application process in a special call for candidates who demonstrate research excellence and who meet equity, diversity and inclusion criteria.
Led by Education professor Daniel Ansari, the new Centre for the Science of Learning looks to generate evidence-based insights into how children learn best and then work closely with school boards and teachers to put that knowledge into classrooms and education boardrooms.
Pain does not exist in this dojo? Or does it? Find our when Jamie Seabrook takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
Recently, Biology professor Norm Huner, the founding father of Western’s Biotron, was tapped to lead the climate-change research centre – again – two decades after he first sowed the seeds for the cutting-edge facility.
