Shedding Near-Infrared Light on Brain Networks
Near-infrared spectroscopy is a novel and promising technology for cost effective and noninvasive brain imaging in research and clinical practice. Utilizing the fact that near-infrared light is mostly absorbed by tissue hemoglobin, one can measure the intensity of light scattered and reflected by tissue (e.g., brain) to track local changes in hemoglobin concentrations within cortical layers (ne...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملShedding Light on the Weather
Virtually all methods in image processing and computer vision, for removing weather effects from images, assume single scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere. In reality, multiple scattering effects are significant. A common manifestation of multiple scattering is the appearance of glows around light sources in bad weather. Modeling multiple scattering is critical to understanding t...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
متن کاملShedding Light on Adaptation
One of the most remarkable features of the vertebrate retina is its ability to adapt to ambient illumination. One can read from this page by candlelight or one can read from it on a sunny afternoon, but the page always appears white and the letters black. It is the molecular trickery of light adaptation that enables photoreceptors to evade saturation and accurately report relative contrast even...
