IIT Mandi Researchers Find Method To Detect Abnormal Brain Characteristics Associated With Ischemic Stroke

The device can also help in identifying the progress of diseases such as Parkinson’s and predict the occurrence of these diseases even before the presence of symptoms, the IIT Mandi researchers said.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi have invented a method to simultaneously study the variations in nerve functions and brain blood flow associated with brain disorders such as ischemic stroke. The device can also help in identifying the progress of diseases such as Parkinson’s and predict the occurrence of these diseases even before the presence of symptoms, an official statement said. Dr Shubhajit Roy Chowdhury, Associate Professor, School of Computing and Electrical Engineering and the lead researcher has published the findings in IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine. The team has been recently granted a US patent for the invention, an official statement said.
