Many people still wear masks on a regular basis, either to keep from spreading viruses that they’ve got, or to manage a respiratory problem. An experimental new mask takes things a step further, by analyzing its wearer’s breath to check their state of … Continue reading Sensor-packing mask analyzes wearers’ breath to track their health
When we think of MIDI devices, we typically jump straight to drum machines, rack synths, and keyboard controllers. However, there’s nothing saying you can’t build your own MIDI controllers that …read more Continue reading Building a Breath-Controlled MIDI Device
A newly published meta-analysis, encompassing seven studies and nearly 300 subjects, has found certain types of bacteria found in fermented foods may help people suffering from persistent bad breath.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, Lif… Continue reading Bacteria in fermented foods may improve bad breath
Asthma is an incredibly common disease that’s usually managed by treating the symptoms. But new research shows a potential way to target a root cause of the disease, with a molecule preventing structural changes in the airways of asthmatic mice and all… Continue reading New treatment for a root cause of asthma proves promising in mice tests
Ordinarily, the lung function of patients with respiratory problems is monitored via a stethoscope, during a visit to a clinic. An experimental new vest, however, can do the same job throughout the day, wherever its wearer goes.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Sensor-laden vest continuously monitors its wearer’s lungs
The pursuit of early-stage cancer screening methods that are both low-cost and non-invasive is a common goal among medical researchers, and a team in Australia is claiming a significant advance in this area. The team has developed a breath test that ca… Continue reading Cancer breath test detects 80 percent of cases in early trial
Using the breath to gauge the health of our lungs and reveal diseases related to them is emerging as a diagnostic tool with huge potential, with a number of promising technologies on the horizon. Joining them is a new type of nanoparticle developed at … Continue reading MIT nanoparticles tag proteins to reveal disease via the breath
Esophageal cancer is a difficult one to detect during its early stages, with most diagnosed only once the disease is well advanced, making it a difficult one to treat. A new type of breath test developed by scientists in the Netherlands could offer a c… Continue reading Breath test accurately detects a known precursor of esophageal cancer
While synthesizers in the music world are incredibly common, they’re not all keyboard-based instruments as you might be imagining. Especially if you’re trying to get a specific feel or sound from a synthesizer in order to mimic a real instrument, there might be a better style synth that you can use. One of these types is the breath controller, a synthesizer specifically built to mimic the sound of wind instruments using the actual breath from a physical person. Available breath controllers can be pricey, though, so [Andrey] built his own.
To build the synthesizer, [Andrey] used a melodica hose and …read more
