Hybridoma Technology01:31

Hybridoma Technology

Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

Bioreactor Controls-II01:18

Bioreactor Controls-II

In aerobic fermentations, oxygen is vital for microbial growth and metabolite production. Since air comprises only about 20% oxygen and the gas is poorly soluble in water—just 9 ppm at 20°C—supplying sufficient oxygen becomes a critical challenge, especially in high-demand processes like yeast growth or citric acid production. Even a fully saturated broth may offer only a few seconds of oxygen availability.To address this, sterile or scrubbed air is introduced into the fermentor via a sparger...
In-situ Hybridization02:31

In-situ Hybridization

In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...
Hybrid Zones02:29

Hybrid Zones

Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.Gene flow and natural selection are evolutionary mechanisms that shape the outcome of a hybrid zone. Gene flow...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Hybrid brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) integrate multiple systems, analogous to hybrid cars, to enhance energy efficiency and reduce CO2 output.
  • A hybrid BCI must meet four criteria: use brain signals, allow intentional modulation for goal-directed behavior, process in real-time, and provide user feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce existing and developing hybrid BCIs.
  • To present concepts for future hybrid BCI research and development.
  • To explore novel combinations of brain signals and other input modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Classification of two electroencephalography (EEG) patterns: event-related (de)synchronization (ERD, ERS) of sensorimotor rhythms and steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP).
  • Simultaneous or sequential processing of inputs from multiple BCIs or BCI and other systems.
  • Integration of brain signals with non-brain inputs like heart rate or eye-tracking data.

Main Results:

  • A hybrid BCI simultaneously combining ERD and SSVEP demonstrated integrated functionality.
  • A sequential hybrid BCI using a brain switch for an SSVEP-based hand orthosis reduced false positives by approximately 50% compared to SSVEP alone.
  • Brain switches can utilize hemodynamic changes measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

Conclusions:

  • Hybrid BCIs offer enhanced control and reduced error rates by integrating multiple signal processing strategies.
  • Future hybrid BCIs can leverage diverse inputs, including electrophysiological and external device signals, for more robust and versatile applications.
  • The development of hybrid BCIs represents a significant advancement in brain-computer interface technology, expanding possibilities for assistive and control systems.
