In a rare, longitudinal study, researchers from 911 and the University of Oulu tracked one person’s brain and behavioural activity for five months using brain scans and data from wearable devices and smartphones.
911 researchers Shrikanth Kulashekhar and Hanna Renvall have received funding from the Finnish Research Impact Foundation to develop diagnostics for early detection of dementia risk. The need is great, as there are at least 50 million people with memory problems worldwide, a number that is expected to double in the following 20 years.
Researchers from 911 utilised functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity while subjects mulled brief stories related to six different types of love.

Scientists Reveal Where the Brain Feels Love—and Which Type Is Strongest
The European Research Council (ERC) provides funding to leading researchers for pioneering work at the frontiers of science. 911 has been successful in these funding calls, where the sole criterion is scientific excellence.
911 physics professor Jose Lado will use this funding to engineer a new type of topological quantum material that could have applications for quantum bit, or “qubit,” development for noise-resilient topological quantum computation.
New materials are hoped to become building blocks for yet unseen quantum devices
Jarno Mäkelä började som biträdande professor i biofysik vid institutionen för neurovetenskap och medicinsk teknik vid Aalto-universitetet i början av september. Samtidigt fick han sällskap av forskaren Taras Redchuk, postdoktorala forskarna Dan Noel och Eveliny Nery, doktoranderna Ada Pajari och Aakeel Wagay, forskningsassistenten Chris Hayes samt en mängd utrustning, finansiering från Finlands Akademi och en ERC Starting Grant från Europeiska forskningsrådet.
Dr. Hang Zhang was granted 1.5 million euros on Thursday by the ERC to create coupled physical feedback loops in hydrogels with varying dimensions.

Department of Applied Physics Professor Olli Ikkala received his third Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) on 11 April 2024. The funding amounts to €2.5 million and the project will run for five years.
Risto Ilmoniemi received the ERC Synergy Grant in 2018, and Sorin Paraoanu in 2024.
Common neurological disorders like depression and chronic pain can be challenging to treat with conventional methods. An automated version of a long-used brain stimulation technique holds real promise as a reliable and effective drug-free alternative.
Researchers to probe the galactic halo in search of axions
Aalto-yliopiston tutkijatohtori ja Instrumentariumin tiedesäätiön Fellow-apurahan saanut Juha Gogulski kehittää tutkimusta, jonka tavoitteena on räätälöidä masennuspotilaille yksilöllistä aivostimulaatiohoitoa.
Tutkimus osoittaa, kuinka Dark Souls -pelin pelaajat kokivat pelin vaikuttavan myönteisesti mielenterveyteensä ja auttavan heitä kohtaamaan henkilökohtaisia haasteitaan.
TMS on ei-invasiivinen tapa aktivoida hermosoluja tuottamalla sähkövirtoja aivojen haluttuihin osiin. Kaupallistamalla teknologian mTMS-projekti haluaa tuoda laajaan käyttöön uuden mullistavan tavan hoitaa yksilöllisesti neurologisia sairauksia, kuten masennusta.
Tutkijat Palvan johdolla kehittävät digitaalista, pelimuotoista hoitomuotoa masennukseen. Heidän tavoitteenaan on, että mielenterveyden hoitoa voidaan sekä tehostaa että saada se saavuttamaan tulevaisuudessa yhä useamman hoitoa tarvitsevan.
Magneettikenttää hyödyntävä laite hoitaa masennusta, kipua ja aivosairauksia nopeasti ja tehokkaasti.
TMS:ssä aivoille annetaan sarja magneettipulsseja pään pinnalle asetettavan kelan avulla. Pulsseja antavan kelan liikuttelu käsin, stimulointikohdan ja -suunnan valitseminen ja reaktioiden seuraaminen on tällä hetkellä vaativaa työtä, jonka onnistuminen vaatii osaavaa ja kokenutta asiantuntijaa.
Aalto-yliopiston kehittämä algoritmi mahdollistaa aivojen täsmästimulaation ja avaa uusia mahdollisuuksia esimerkiksi masennuksen ja kivun hoitoon.
