But there may be soon if researchers in New York and Texas are right. They’ve come up with a way to diagnose concussions and other brain injuries using <a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/eyetracking-software-goes-mobile">eye-tracking technology</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/concussion.html">Concussions</a> are brain injuries that commonly involve headaches, confusion and problems with concentration, memory, balance, and coordination.</p><p>There is currently no tool seen as the gold standard for diagnosing concussions — for example, CT-scans and MRIs often miss concussions — and athletes and soldiers can downplay symptoms in order to return to action. Yet "brain injury is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in Americans under the age of 35," says <a href="http://www.med.nyu.edu/biosketch/samadu01">Uzma Samadani</a>, a neurosurgeon involved in the research and co-director of the New York University Cohen Veterans Center.</p><p><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/diagnostics/eyetracking-tech-could-diagnose-concussions">Read more</a></p><p><img src="/uploads/54ad19735dcd3_789.jpg" unselectable="on"></p><h4></h4><h4><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/devices/how-to-detect-your-kids-epileptic-seizure-from-miles-away">How to Detect Your Kid's Epileptic Seizure From Miles Away</a></h4><p>By Eliza Strickland&nbsp; Posted <label>2 Feb 2015 | 15:42 GMT</label></p><p><img src="/uploads/54d1afd4bcaa5.png" unselectable="on"></p><p>People living with epilepsy know that a seizure can strike any time, and they go through their days with this uncertainty: They could be walking down a city’s bustling streets or at home all alone when a seizure strikes.</p><p>This <a href="http://www.smart-monitor.com/smartwatch/about-smartwatch/">SmartWatch</a> connects these people to their networks of caregivers at moments of crisis by detecting the shaking limbs associated with convulsive seizures and sending out automatic alerts. “For both the patient with epilepsy and the caregiver, this product gives incredible peace of mind,” says Anoo Nathan, CEO and founder of <a href="http://www.smart-monitor.com/">Smart Monitor</a>, the startup behind this device. </p><p>The SmartWatch currently pairs with Android phones that run its app; the user must have that phone nearby so it can send out the alert via text message. The alert can also include the epileptic person’s GPS coordinates. Nathan says the iPhone-compatible version will debut in late March. </p><p><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/devices/how-to-detect-your-kids-epileptic-seizure-from-miles-away">Read more</a></p><p><img src="/uploads/54ad198cb3e7b_789.jpg" unselectable="on"></p><p><img src="/uploads/548a3e7b0c3f9_789.jpg" unselectable="on"></p><h4><a href="http://www.engineering.com/3DPrinting/3DPrintingArticles/ArticleID/6262/Infographic-The-History-of-3D-Printing.aspx">Infographic: The History of 3D Printing</a></h4><p><a href="http://www.engineering.com/3DPrinting/3DPrintingArticles/ArticleID/6239/3D-Printing-Stocks-Get-a-Boost-from-CitiGroup.aspx">The 3D printing industry is exploding.</a> With all the <a href="http://www.engineering.com/3DPrinting.aspx">new developments</a>, itâ€&trade;s sometimes hard to remember where 3D printing started.
