Carnegie Mellon Lands ARPA-H Award for Implantable Bioelectric Medicine Project
A Carnegie Mellon University-led team has secured an ARPA-H award of up to $42 million to accelerate the development of implantable, cell-based bioelectronic devices that deliver patient-specific therapy and monitor disease status.
CMU-Led Project To Fight Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Receives ARPA-H Backing
A Carnegie Mellon University-led team of researchers has secured an ARPA-H award of up to $34.9 million to fast track a bioelectronic implant that could radically improve treatment options and significantly reduce the cost of care for patients with obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Exploring How Melanin Influences Clinical Oxygen Measurements
A recent Carnegie Mellon University study explored the influence of melanin on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), an optical tool that leverages light-tissue interaction to measure changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygenation.

A Novel Neural Explanation for Choking Under Pressure
New research from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh reveals a first-of-its-kind neural explanation for choking under pressure: a deficit in motor preparation induced by an overly large potential “jackpot” payoff.
Automated Tuning of Large-Scale Neuronal Models
An interdisciplinary group of researchers primarily based at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh presents a novel framework, Spiking Network Optimization using Population Statistics, that can quickly and accurately customize models that reproduce activity to mimic what’s observed in the brain.
Distinguishing Real Sounds from Deepfakes
Laurie Heller, Carnegie Mellon University professor of psychology, collaborated with researchers from École Centrale Nantes, to analyze the errors made by the first deep neural network detector the research team developed to automatically classify environmental sounds as either real or AI-generated.
