GPU-Accelerated Compression and Visualization of Large-Scale Vessel Trajectories in Maritime IoT Industries [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The automatic identification system (AIS), an automatic vessel-tracking system, has been widely adopted to perform intelligent traffic management and collision avoidance services in maritime Internet of Things (IoT) industries. With the rapid development of maritime transportation, tremendous numbers of AIS-based vessel trajectory data have been ...

Combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation: Successful Treatment Option for Partial Deafness
Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 2010 Cochlear implants are now the treatment of choice for patients with severe to profound hearing loss. Inclusion criteria for cochlear implantation have expanded, and a whole array of implantable hearing devices have been introduced over the years.

Long-term changes in functional connectivity predict responses to intracranial stimulation of the human brain [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Targeted electrical stimulation of the brain perturbs neural networks and modulates their rhythmic activity both at the site of stimulation and at remote brain regions. Understanding, or even predicting, this neuromodulatory effect is crucial for any therapeutic use of brain stimulation.

Induction of slow oscillations by rhythmic acoustic stimulation [PDF]
J. Sleep Res. 22, 22-31 (2013), 2014 Slow oscillations are electrical potential oscillations with a spectral peak frequency of $\sim$0.8 Hz, and hallmark the electroencephalogram during slow-wave sleep. Recent studies have indicated a causal contribution of slow oscillations to the consolidation of memories during slow-wave sleep, raising the question to what extent such oscillations can ...

Non-Scanning Fiber-Optic Near-Infrared Beam Led to Two-Photon Optogenetic Stimulation In-Vivo [PDF]
PLoS ONE 9(11): e111488, 2016 Stimulation of specific neurons expressing opsins in a targeted region to manipulate brain function has proved to be a powerful tool in neuroscience. However, the use of visible light for optogenetic stimulation is invasive due to low penetration depth and tissue damage owing to larger absorption and scattering.

Efficacy of high frequency switched-mode stimulation in activating Purkinje cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 This paper investigates the efficacy of high frequency switched-mode neural stimulation. Instead of using a constant stimulation amplitude, the stimulus is switched on and off repeatedly with a high frequency (up to 100kHz) duty cycled signal. By means of tissue modeling that includes the dynamic properties of both the tissue material as well as the ...

The Dynamic Shift of Neuron Excitability Observed with Enveloped High Frequency Stimulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Neuronal excitability is known to be affected by transcranial electrical stimulation. However, due to the existence of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the cortex, the mechanism of neuronal excitability shift is still not clear. Here, we study electrical stimulation disturbance on neuronal excitability in the neuromuscular system on an acute ...

Mechanomyography based closed-loop Functional Electrical Stimulation cycling system [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) systems are successful in restoring motor function and supporting paralyzed users. Commercially available FES products are open loop, meaning that the system is unable to adapt to changing conditions with the user and their muscles which results in muscle fatigue and poor stimulation protocols. This is because it
