Neural oscillations in the gamma range are the dominant rhythmic activation pattern in the human auditory cortex. These gamma oscillations are functionally relevant for the processing of rapidly changing acoustic information in both speech and non-speech sounds. Accordingly, there is a tight link between the temporal resolution ability of the auditory system and inherent neural gamma oscillatio...

The development of highly efficient plastic scintillators for neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination is a matter current interest. This generally achieved using two fluorophores, with one them being added to the polymer formulation at concentration higher than typically 15 weight percent (wt%). Here, we report our results concerning performant poly(vinyltoluene)-based (PVT) fast discriminatio...

Olfactory system neural oscillations as seen in the local field potential have been studied for many decades. Recent research has shown that there is a functional role for the most studied gamma oscillations (40–100 Hz in rats and mice, and 20 Hz in insects), without which fine odor discrimination is poor. When these oscillations are increased artificially, fine discrimination is increased, and...

In normal vision gamma oscillations are involved in object perception, are modulated by attention, and have been linked to awareness by way of their putative role in perceptual integration, arguably as a mechanism for synchronizing activity in separate neural assemblies. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of gamma oscillations (approximately 30-80 Hz) signal the entry of a neural repres...

The characterization of a scintillating metal organic framework (MOF) is not straightforward, mainly due to the small size and low density material. In this context, we present herein generic method give an easy access determination key parameter in scintillation field, namely light output. To reach this, MOF-205 was first synthesized as millimetric-size single crystals then sintered under pres...

The Active Target ATS (Active for SPES) is a new time-projection chamber designed reaction and decay studies with nuclei far from stability. physics cases the new-generation active target are related to ongoing developments of facilities radioactive ion beams. Thanks its flexibility, this instrument will be capable taking advantage most exotic beams which become available at SPES facility under...
