Engineering Devices for Chronic Pain Recovery . INT 84BH
Chronic pain, a debilitating condition affecting one in five adults, surpasses cancer and heart disease in cost. This seminar explores device-based solutions to reverse the neuroplastic changes that contribute to chronic pain. It will explore existing and new opportunities for designing and building these devices and training systems that can help. We’ll present devices used in 9 studies that, combined with incentive and education, significantly reduced pain and increased function. Our research on brain organoids reveals neural patterns similar to those in chronic pain, suggesting potential targets for new devices.

fun class, fun professor, there's online hw problems, go to class and you can do the hw. if anyone needs a Physics 6AL lab manual I'm selling it for $15 dollars and the bookstore sells it for $22.30! email me at ucsbgrl@yahoo.com
Clear, concise lectures. Made physics fun and interesting. Attendance is mandatory with iclicker participation. A on the midterms and final.
AWESOME DUDE! Prof Hansma wants students to succeed, always takes students' opinions (via iclicker), and likes to impress kids with falling weights and lampposts, explosions, rocketwagons, and bouncing baskeballs off the walls. WILL get you interested about physics. couldn't ask for better-- i learned a LOT and was never bored!
