Soldiers training on heavy artillery and athletes in contact sports are routinely exposed to repetitive mild shockwaves and injuries. Unlike someone who has just dodged a missile explosion or been smacked by a linebacker, they may feel little immediate impact.

Threaded throughout the body are networks of capillaries so miniscule that red blood cells must contort to squeeze through them one at a time. It is this world that Peter Balogh brings to dynamic, 3D life on computer screens.

Elisa Kallioniemi slides a circular disk over her head, stops above her right ear and clicks. Her left hand jumps.

What she is now trying to determine is whether multiple pulses in the motor cortex can produce longer-term therapeutic results by retraining neural circuits. Her first focus is people who have lost some control of their limbs following a stroke.
