Rap Music Powers Rhythmic Action of Medical Sensor

Reference: http://scienceblog.com/51813/rap-music-powers-rhythmic-action-of-medical-sensor/

Summary: A sensor was created to be implanted into the body to help prevent aneurysms and other medical issues due to paralysis. Music, rap music specifically, has been proven to help decrease the risk of these health tragedies. There is a thin beam in the middle of the sensor, called a cantilever. When the cantilever vibrates, it stores electricity when the music reaches a certain frequency. The vibrating causes the electricity to monitor blood pressure and is only needed once an hour for a couple minutes.

Critique: I would have never thought that something like rap music could be used for medical reasons. The thought that it might save someone's life by just listening to rap music is absolutely crazy.

Impact: This research could impact every person that is at risk of an aneurysm and is a major accomplishment in medical technology.
