This note discusses the effects of the electrode position scaling on the realistic Laplacian (RL) computation. It is shown that when the RL is estimated with the help of Tikhonov regularization and the generalized cross-validation (GCV) criterion, improper electrode position scaling may influence the GCV criterion, which results in the decrease of RL precision. We identify what the proper scaling should be, and we provide a closer examination of how the GCV criterion is affected by the electrode position scaling.

Background: Resistant auditory verbal hallucination (AVH) remains a disabling symptom in schizophrenia. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and its more targeted variant, high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS), have shown promising results in reducing AVH. We aimed to determine the effects of adjunctive HD-tDCS on various dimensions of AVH in patients with schizophrenia.

Introduction: Breathing-synchronized hypoglossal-nerve stimulation is a treatment option for suitable patients with severe obstructive-sleep-apnoea. The classical implantation technique requires three incisions: submental to place the stimulating-electrode on terminal branches of the hypoglossal-nerve, sub-clavicular to place the impulse generator, and on the lateral chest-wall to place a breathing-sensor lead. A two-incision-technique has been propagated and widely adopted whereby the respiratory-sensing-lead is placed deeper to the IPG-pocket.

The integrated frequency comb generator based on Kerr parametric oscillation has led to chip-scale, gigahertz-spaced combs with new applications spanning hyperscale telecommunications, low-noise microwave synthesis, light detection and ranging, and astrophysical spectrometer calibration. Recent progress in lithium niobate (LiNbO) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has resulted in chip-scale, electro-optic (EO) frequency combs, offering precise comb-line positioning and simple operation without relying on the formation of dissipative Kerr solitons. However, current integrated EO combs face limited spectral coverage due to the large microwave power required to drive the non-resonant capacitive electrodes and the strong intrinsic birefringence of LiNbO.

However, brain shift from loss of cerebrospinal fluid or pneumocephalus still affects aim accuracy. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides absolute spatial sensitivity, and intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (iCBCT) has become increasingly used in DBS procedures.

Multiple ocular surface disorders are associated with the mechanical properties of the interface between the eyelid and cornea. Determining eyelid pressure is vital for diagnosing and preventing these disorders. However, current measurements rely on flat piezoresistive pressure sensor arrays that lack eye-motion sensing capabilities, resulting in discomfort and measurement inaccuracies.
