For small scale ranging, a light beam, modulated with a wavelength typical for radio waves, is a suitable means of scanning. The ranging beam can be focussed to illuminate only a small spot. The diffuse reflection on the spot ensures that an echo appears. By applying phase comparison techniques to the ranging and echo beam the optical path length and thus the height of the illuminated surface element can be determined. By systematically deflecting the beam and thereby scanning the scene, a discrete height map is obtained. The realisation of such a small scale ‘optical radar’ is described, the main elements of which are a semiconductor diode laser for emission, an avalanche photo diode for detection, and a two-dimensional beam deflection mechanics for scanning. The typical performance is taking a picture of a volume of about 0·5 m × 0·5 m × 0·5 m within 1s, consisting of about 64 000 pixels. 相似文献

In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis, although the univariate general linear model (GLM) is currently the dominant approach to brain activation detection, there is growing interest in multivariate approaches such as principal component analysis, canonical variate analysis (CVA), independent component analysis and cluster analysis, which have the potential to reveal neural networks and functional connectivity in the brain. To understand the effect of processing options on performance of multivariate model-based fMRI processing pipelines with real fMRI data, we investigated the impact of commonly used fMRI preprocessing steps and optimized the associated multivariate CVA-based, single-subject processing pipelines with the NPAIRS (nonparametric prediction, activation, influence and reproducibility resampling) performance metrics [prediction accuracy and statistical parametric image (SPI) reproducibility] on the Fiswidgets platform. We also compared the single-subject SPIs of univariate GLM with multivariate CVA-based processing pipelines from SPM, FSL.FEAT, NPAIRS.GLM and NPAIRS.CVA software packages (or modules) using a novel second-level CVA. We found that for the block-design data, (a) slice timing correction and global intensity normalization have little consistent impact on the fMRI processing pipeline, but spatial smoothing, temporal detrending or high-pass filtering, and motion correction significantly improved pipeline performance across all subjects; (b) the combined optimization of spatial smoothing, temporal detrending and CVA model parameters on average improved between-subject reproducibility; and (c) the most important pipeline choices include univariate or multivariate statistical models and spatial smoothing. This study suggests that considering options other than simply using GLM with a fixed spatial filter may be of critical importance in determining activation patterns in BOLD fMRI studies. 相似文献

Computer simulations have played a critical role in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research, notably in the validation of new data analysis methods. Many approaches have been used to generate fMRI simulations, but there is currently no generic framework to assess how realistic each one of these approaches may be. In this article, a statistical technique called parametric bootstrap was used to generate a simulation database that mimicked the parameters found in a real database, which comprised 40 subjects and five tasks. The simulations were evaluated by comparing the distributions of a battery of statistical measures between the real and simulated databases. Two popular simulation models were evaluated for the first time by applying the bootstrap framework. The first model was an additive mixture of multiple components and the second one implemented a non-linear motion process. In both models, the simulated components included the following brain dynamics: a baseline, physiological noise, neural activation and random noise. These models were found to successfully reproduce the relative variance of the components and the temporal autocorrelation of the fMRI time series. By contrast, the level of spatial autocorrelation was found to be drastically low using the additive model. Interestingly, the motion process in the second model intrisically generated some slow time drifts and increased the level of spatial autocorrelations. These experiments demonstrated that the bootstrap framework is a powerful new tool that can pinpoint the respective strengths and limitations of simulation models. 相似文献

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder associated with disfunction of dopaminergic pathways of the basal ganglia. In this study, we report the effects of decreasing plasma concentrations of the dopamine-agonist apomorphine on the size and extents of activity clusters observed with functional magnetic resonance imaging during a simple motor task. Eight patients at advanced disease stage and six healthy volunteers were studied during four consecutive sessions. We observed consistent activations in the primary sensorimotor area of the contralateral side and in the supplementary motor area of both patients and controls during the first session. During subsequent sessions, while the drug concentration gradually decreased in patients, they showed a fragmentation of the activity areas, with an overall decrease of involved volume and a decline of activity in the supplementary motor area. The appearing of activity in the ipsilateral motor area matched a partial recovery of supplementary motor area activation. During the last session, when patients showed severe dyskinesia, a widespread region of positive and negative correlations between signal and task was observed. We conclude that the lack of subcortical circuitry is partially reversible by apomorphine and that when the drug effects are reduced, there is a possible mechanism recruitment of alternate subcortical pathways. 相似文献

Experimental results obtained by studying a vibratory system in which a magnetic liquid playing the role of a mass shuts off the cross section of a tube under the effect of a magnetic field and is spring-loaded by an air cavity and elasticity of ponderomotive type are discussed. An expression for the resonant frequency of vibrations is derived with allowance for both types of elasticity. The expression agrees well with the experimental data. 相似文献

Most studies investigating mental numerical processing involve adult participants and little is known about the functioning of these systems in children. The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of numeracy and the influence of age on these correlates with a group of adults and a group of third graders who had average to above average mathematical ability. Participants performed simple and complex versions of exact and approximate calculation tasks while in the magnet. Like adults, children activated a network of brain regions in the frontal and parietal lobes during the calculation tasks, and they recruited additional brain regions for the more complex versions of the tasks. However, direct comparisons between adults and children revealed significant differences in level of activation across all tasks. In particular, patterns of activation in the parietal lobe were significantly different as a function of age. Findings support previous claims that the parietal lobe becomes more specialized for arithmetic tasks with age. 相似文献

Purpose
The purpose was to investigate the distinct pattern of brain response induced by electroacupuncture stimulation (EAS) related to sustained acupuncture effects.Material and Methods
Twenty-eight healthy volunteers were enrolled and randomized into two groups. According to grouping, volunteers were separately treated by EAS at GB37 (Guangming) or KI8 (Jiaoxin) during functional magnetic resonance imaging. Differences in acupuncture effects between the groups were tested by the power estimation approach.Results
Spatial patterns of the whole brain power were different in the periaqueductal gray, occipital cortex (OC) and temporal cortex when induced by EAS at GB37 and KI8. Moreover, the differences in the sustained effects between these two acupoints were also identified and associated with the OC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex and insula.Conclusion
Electroacupuncture stimulation induced different power fluctuation patterns related to GB37 and KI8. We suggest that these findings might be attributed to the specific function action of these acupoints. 相似文献11.

In holographic femtosecond laser processing, diffractive parallel pulses are distorted by phase discontinuities and mutual
interference between the neighborhoods in the reconstructed image of a Fourier computer-generated hologram when the interval
is smaller than the beam diameter. We investigated holographic fabrication on a glass surface using parallel pulses with different
intervals. We found the closest parallel pulses with sufficient separation to avoid mutual interference in holographic femtosecond
laser processing. The minimum interval was 2.8 times larger than the diffracted beam diameter. The experimental results were
also supported by a computer simulation. Our findings will be very useful in the design of holographic laser processing systems. 相似文献

The possibilities of an experimental investigation of the frequency fluctuations of the oscillations are considered by means of a digital electronic frequency meter. A comparison is made of the results of the measurements with the spectrum of the fluctuations, and an analysis of the errors of the measurements is likewise carried out.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 15, No. 4, pp. 573–579, April, 1972. 相似文献

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the human spinal cord has revealed important details of activity involved with innocuous sensory stimuli, including the primary input to ipsilateral dorsal gray matter and activity in bilateral ventral gray matter regions. The latter is hypothesized to reflect descending modulation from the brainstem and cortex. Here, the functions corresponding to these areas of activity are investigated by varying the temperature of innocuous thermal stimuli, and the order they are presented, across repeated fMRI experiments in the spinal cord and brainstem. Group results and connectivity analyses reveal that the ipsilateral dorsal gray matter (dGM), the primary site of sensory input, also receives inhibitory input from the rostral ventromedial medulla and the locus coeruleus, two components of the brainstem opiate analgesia system. Ipsilateral ventral gray matter (vGM) receives input from the ipsilateral dGM and inhibitory input from the pontine reticular formation, which is involved with coordination of movements by modulation of ventral horn cells. Contralateral vGM regions appear to receive input from only the ipsilateral dGM in these studies. These results provide an unprecedented view of details of human spinal cord function and descending modulation, and have important implications for assessment of the effects of spinal cord trauma and disease by means of fMRI. 相似文献

A whole Czochralski-grown iron-doped indium phosphide ingot was investigated by various techniques, all along the growth axis. Scanning photoluminescence, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and sheet resistance techniques were used. The average photoluminescence intensity and the iron concentration were found to be correlated. Samples of the ingot were annealed and implanted. For low ion-implantation doses, the electrical properties were mainly dependent on the initial properties of the ingot. 相似文献

An optical tilt sensor was developed and its performance was investigated. The tilt sensor set-up consisted of a laser light source, lenses and an image sensor. A precision reference tilt sensor was also installed on the same stage, and the measurement results of tilt angles using the optical and reference tilt sensors were correlated. The correlation coefficient (R-value) obtained under ideal conditions was 0.99454, indicating that the optical tilt sensor could produce as accurate measurements as the precision reference tilt sensor. The R-value decreased to 0.97714 and 0.93209 when the image sensor was shifted backwards and forwards from the focal plane by 1 mm, respectively. The R-value decreased to 0.96840 when the tilt sensor was performed with the room light turned on. There were not significant differences in the measurement results obtained with air conditioners turned on and off, indicating that the optical tilt sensor was robust and was not sensitive to the surrounding air turbulence. These findings are useful for the final design of the optical tilt sensor. 相似文献

This study focuses on the chemical, morphological and structural characterization of iron surfaces treated by laser in ambient air. Incorporation of nitrogen over a 1–2 μm thickness (10–30 at.% at the profile maximum) and superficial oxidation on 200–400 nm depth have been evidenced by nuclear reaction analyses. X-ray diffraction at grazing incidence has shown the formation of FeO and Fe3O4 oxide phases as well as γ-Fe(N), and ε-FexN for a sufficiently high amount of nitrogen incorporated. Treatments performed with different laser beams indicate that the parameter playing the major role in surface modification processes is the wavelength. Nitrogen incorporation has been found to occur via the interaction of reactive N, present in the laser-induced plasma, and the iron molten bath. The nitriding process is promoted in the IR wavelength range. Oxidation takes place by chemical reaction during the cooling step, and is furthered in the case of UV treatment. 相似文献

Background
Previous electrophysiological studies have identified a "voice specific response" (VSR) peaking around 320 ms after stimulus onset, a latency markedly longer than the 70 ms needed to discriminate living from non-living sound sources and the 150 ms to 200 ms needed for the processing of voice paralinguistic qualities. In the present study, we investigated whether an early electrophysiological difference between voice and non-voice stimuli could be observed. 相似文献20.

Many alternative processing techniques have recently been proposed in the literature. Most of these techniques rely on specific acquisition protocols as well as on specific data processing techniques, the need for an efficient versatile and expandable NMR processing tool would be a particularly timely addition to the modern NMR spectroscopy laboratory. The work presented here consists in a modeling of the various possible NMR data processing approaches. This modeling presents a common working frame for most of the modern acquisition/processing protocols. Two different data modeling approaches are presented, strong modeling and weak modeling, depending whether the system under study or the measurement is modeled. The emphasis is placed on the weak modeling approach. This modeling is implemented in a computer program developed in python and called NPK standing (standing for NMR Processing Kernel), organized in four logical layers (i) mathematical kernel; (ii) elementary actions; (iii) processing phases; (iv) processing strategies. This organisation, along with default values for most processing parameters allows the use of the program in an unattended manner, producing close to optimal spectra. Examples are shown for 1D and 2D processing, and liquid and solid NMR spectroscopy. NPK is available from the site: http://abcis.cbs.cnrs.fr/NPK. 相似文献
