Published: April 2008

Recent clinical evidence suggests that abnormal neural input can contribute to the onset perpetuation of atrial arrhythmias, such that neural elements have become potential targets for ablation. A better understanding of the influence of the cardiac autonomous nervous system is required to improve therapy. We have developed a multi-channel system to record neural activity simultaneously at different intra and pericardiac locations. The paper presents the specific requirements to be met for recording neuronal extracellular potentials in these repertoires of neurons and the solutions that were adopted.

The time-resolved backlight imaging of plasma is crucial for diagnosing density-dependent plasma information. It requires a high-intensity X-ray source and efficient optics. We propose a quasi-coaxial, multi-channel Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) structure that realizes high-brightness illumination.

Significance: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) are key metrics for regional cerebrovascular monitoring. Simultaneous, non-invasive measurement of CBF and CBV at different brain locations would advance cerebrovascular monitoring and pave the way for brain injury detection as current brain injury diagnostic methods are often constrained by high costs, limited sensitivity, and reliance on subjective symptom reporting.

Aim: We aim to develop a multi-channel non-invasive optical system for measuring CBF and CBV at different regions of the brain simultaneously with a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable system capable of detecting potential differences in CBF and CBV across different regions of the brain.

The Application of Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms for Image Alignment in Multi-Channel Imaging Systems.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Computer-Integrated Technologies of Device Production, Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering, National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute", Beresteiskyi Ave., 37, 03056 Kyiv, Ukraine.

This study presents a method for aligning the geometric parameters of images in multi-channel imaging systems based on the application of pre-processing methods, machine learning algorithms, and a calibration setup using an array of orderly markers at the nodes of an imaginary grid. According to the proposed method, one channel of the system is used as a reference. The images from the calibration setup in each channel determine the coordinates of the markers, and the displacements of the marker centers in the system's channels relative to the coordinates of the centers in the reference channel are then determined.

Learning Dendritic-Neuron-Based Motion Detection for RGB Images: A Biomimetic Approach.

Biomimetics (Basel)

December 2024

Institute of AI for Industries, Chinese Academy of Sciences Nanjing, 168, Tianquan Road, Nanjing 211135, China.

In this study, we designed a biomimetic artificial visual system (AVS) inspired by biological visual system that can process RGB images. Our approach begins by mimicking the photoreceptor cone cells to simulate the initial input processing followed by a learnable dendritic neuron model to replicate ganglion cells that integrate outputs from bipolar and horizontal cell simulations. To handle multi-channel integration, we utilize a nonlearnable dendritic neuron model to simulate the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), which consolidates outputs across color channels, an essential function in biological multi-channel processing.
