sciencedaily.com• A new clinical trial launched April 24, 2026 (NCT07549529), examines postural motor activation deficits following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in US patients. • The study translates lab findings into physical therapy protocols for concussion rehabilitation, focusing on vestibular and balance impairments. • Affecting millions annually, mTBI recovery gaps could improve with targeted interventions, potentially reducing long-term disability rates by 30%.
clinicaltrials.govBristol University project aims to help directors make better movies and take greater risks – with one already onboardAt first glance, it looks like any high-end cinema: booming surround sound, a razor-sharp 4K projector and rows of reclining seats. But instead of clutching popcorn, a headset records my brain activity and a heart rate monitor wraps around my arm while infra-red cameras capture every blink and fidget.I’m sitting in a one-of-a-kind cinema at the University of Bristol where researchers are studying how people respond to what they see on screen. By combining viewers’ physical reactions with verbal feedback on the parts of the film they found most compelling, the team hopes to understand which moments truly grip attention – and whether that insight could help film-makers create better movies and take greater creative risks.
