Article Abstract

The bandpass filtering properties of a rod network were studied via computer simulations. Sinusoidal current stimuli were applied to a single rod model to characterize its temporal filtering properties. The simulated frequency response revealed that a single rod behaves as a bandpass filter whose characteristics are affected by the stimulus strength and frequency. We analyzed the contribution of individual ionic currents to bandpass filtering and found that the filtering of small signals is largely regulated by the calcium-dependent currents I(K(Ca)) and I(Cl(Ca)), whereas the filtering of large signals is regulated by the hyperpolarization-activated current, I(h). Furthermore, rod network modeling by electrically interconnecting the single rod models revealed that the acceleration of signals that spread laterally through the rod network is attributed to I(K(Ca)) and not I(h).

Marketing plays a vital role in the success of a business, driving customer engagement, brand recognition, and revenue growth. Neuromarketing adds depth to this by employing insights into consumer behavior through brain activity and emotional responses to create more effective marketing strategies. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has typically been utilized by researchers for neuromarketing, whereas Eye Tracking (ET) has remained unexplored.

Seasonal and periodic patterns in US COVID-19 mortality using the Variable Bandpass Periodic Block Bootstrap.

Since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, research into the existence, extent, and pattern of seasonality has been of the highest importance for public health preparation. This study uses a novel bandpass bootstrap approach called the Variable Bandpass Periodic Block Bootstrap to investigate the periodically correlated components including seasonality within US COVID-19 mortality. Bootstrapping to produce confidence intervals for periodic characteristics such as the seasonal mean requires preservation of the periodically correlated component's correlation structure during resampling.

Heart disease is a significant global health issue. Traditional methods for heart rate monitoring typically require close physical contact, which limits the continuity and convenience of monitoring. To achieve real-time, non-contact heartbeat monitoring, researchers have introduced millimeter-wave radar technology.

Our purpose was to compare the influence of the spectral content of motor unit recordings on the calculation of electromechanical delay and on the prediction of force fluctuations from measures of the variability in discharge times and neural drive during steady isometric contractions with the first dorsal interosseus muscle. Participants ( = 42; 60 ± 13 yrs) performed contractions at 5% and 20% MVC. After satisfying inclusion criteria, high-density surface EMG recordings from a subset of 23 participants were decomposed into the discharge times of 530 motor units.

In this Letter, we propose and experimentally validate a high-fidelity and adaptive forward-phase-based vibration sensing using a Wiener filter (WF). In commercial coherent digital subcarrier multiplexing (DSCM) systems under external cavity lasers (ECLs), frequency-domain pilot tones (FPTs) in subcarrier intervals are employed for dynamic frequency offset estimation (FOE), carrier phase estimation (CPE), and polarization demultiplexing. The phase estimated by the CPE module is processed with the WF to achieve high-fidelity extraction of the vibration-induced phase.
