Project Prana (Shriya Srinivasan and Rajib Mondal)

MIT students Shriya Srinivasan and Rajib Mondal's Project Prana is making multiplex ventilators called iSave that will be priced at Rs 45,000. Made out of Chennai, these ventilators can connect one ventilator to two patients, can be cutomised, and control the parameters as well.

MIT students' Project Prana is bringing low-cost ventilators to India amid the COVID crisis

Meet the future of neuroscience

The 20 McGovern “rising stars," each from one of 20 labs — include two HST students — who are deemed to represent the future of neuroscience.

By accounting for sweat physiology, method can make better use of electrodermal activity for tracking subconscious changes in physical or emotional state.

With electrodes strapped to two fingers, researchers can read out changes in skin conductance produced by sweat. These fluctuations reflect subconscious changes in physical or emotional state. A new statistical method of analyzing the resulting signal is faster and more accurate than previous methods because it is based on the physiology of sweat.

Statistical model research by an HST faculty director and a MEMP student improves analysis of skin conductance

By accounting for sweat physiology, research by an HST faculty director and a MEMP PhD student show a method that can make better use of electrodermal activity (EDA) for tracking subconscious changes in physical or emotional state.
