Minimum-Norm Estimation of TMS-Activated Motor Cortical Sites in Realistic Head and Brain Geometry

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a widely used tool for motor cortex mapping. However, the full details of the activated cortical area during the mapping remain unknown due to the spread of the stimulating electric field (E-field ...

Short-interval interhemispheric inhibition does not originate from the motor hotspot

Brain Stimulation
Background: Paired-coil TMS can delineate causal connections between cortical areas. Short-interval interhemispheric inhibition (SIHI) is a rapid inhibitory process, in which one primary motor cortex (M1) inhibits the other through the corpus callosum ...

Thermal- and Performance-Aware Address Mapping for the Multi-Channel Three-Dimensional DRAM Systems

IEEE Access, 2017
In this paper, we proposed thermal- and performance-aware address mapping (TPAMAP) for the multi-channel 3-D DRAM systems. TPAMAP reduces the thermal problem from the vertical stacking of the active banks in different DRAM channels and supports the ...

Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.
