Exploring Effects of Mental Stress with Data Augmentation and Classification Using fNIRS
Accurately identifying and discriminating between different brain states is a major emphasis of functional brain imaging research. Various machine learning techniques play an important role in this regard.

A Multiscale Framework for Defining Homeostasis in Distal Vascular Trees: Applications to the Pulmonary Circulation [PDF]
Coupling hemodynamics with vessel wall growth and remodeling (G&R) is crucial for understanding pathology at distal vasculature to study progression of incurable vascular diseases, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. The present study is the first modeling attempt that focuses on defining homeostatic baseline values in distal pulmonary vascular ...

Self-reported tolerance influences prefrontal cortex hemodynamics and affective responses [PDF]
The relationship between cognitive and sensory processes in the brain contributes to the regulation of affective responses (pleasure–displeasure). Exercise can be used to manipulate sensory processes (by increasing physiological demand) in order to ...

Deconvolution of the Functional Ultrasound Response in the Mouse Visual Pathway Using Block-Term Decomposition [PDF]
Functional ultrasound (fUS) indirectly measures brain activity by recording changes in cerebral blood volume and flow in response to neural activation. Conventional approaches model such functional neuroimaging data as the convolution between an impulse response, known as the hemodynamic response function (HRF), and a binarized representation of the ...

Animal welfare of barrows with different antemortem lairage times without food
This study evaluated the effect of five different periods of antemortem lairage without food on the energy metabolism, gas exchange, mineral and blood acid-base balances of 1174 hybrid barrows, which were divided into six treatment groups according to ...

Risks and Benefits of Using a Commercially Available Ventricular Assist Device for Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support: A Modeling Investigation [PDF]
Fontan patients often develop circulatory failure and are in desperate need of a therapeutic solution. A blood pump surgically placed in the cavopulmonary pathway can substitute the function of the absent sub-pulmonary ventricle by generating a mild pressure boost.
