Canadian physical activity guidelines recommend that for substantial health benefits, adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week.

The increased presence of overweight and obese adults in North America can be attributed to low physical activity levels (sedentary behaviour), changes in diet and nutritional habits with the ...

Monitoring brain blood flow in a volunteer with the new functional interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy device invented at UC Davis. The new technology promises easier, cheaper measurements of ...

This is the moment of the quantified self. It’s not clear which parts of our measurement moment will prove faddish and which will stick. But in the meantime, new evidence suggests that when we do ...

New research uses an electroencephalogram to look for a connection between brain activity thought to reflect trait-like differences in emotionality and alcoholism. Findings show an asymmetry of ...

A basic pedometer can prove sufficient for measuring health-promoting physical activity, according to a study comparing pedometers with more complex devices. Simply counting steps captured a ...

A new report from two fellows at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society is out today: “Measuring Internet Activity: A (Selective) Review of Methods and Metrics” breaks down attempts at measuring ...

You'll never look at a drop of water the same way. By measuring a water droplet with a resolution comparable with the scale of a single atom, scientists have determined that the droplet interface ...

As reported by NeurologyLive®, neurofilament light chain (NfL) may prove to be a more reliable marker for disease progression and treatment indication in multiple sclerosis (MS) than MRI. The serum ...

Scientists have detected signs of autism in babies as young as six months, leading to hopes of a test for the disorder. They made the breakthrough by measuring brain activity and believe it could lead ...

image: A noninvasive method for measuring brain blood flow with light has been developed by biomedical engineers and neurologists at UC Davis, and used to detect brain activation. The new method, ...
