The error of generalized aliasing associated with the limited sampling of the atmospheric turbulence volume due to the finite number of wavefront sensing directions in wide-field-of-view adaptive optics is formally defined. Following a modal approach, we extend the direct problem formulation of star-oriented multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) to model and quantify this error analytically. We show that the turbulence estimation with the least-squares reconstructor is subject to strong generalized aliasing, in particular affecting the badly seen modes, whereas with the minimum-mean-square-error reconstructor the estimation is little affected. Finally, we show that the application of modal gain optimization techniques in closed-loop MCAO systems is jeopardized by the generalized aliasing error.

Synchronous vibrations, which are caused by periodic excitations, can have a severe impact on the service life of impellers. Blade Tip Timing (BTT) is a promising technique for monitoring synchronous vibrations due to its non-intrusive nature and ability to monitor all blades at once. BTT generally employs a Once-per-Revolution (OPR) sensor that is mounted on the shaft for blade identification and deflection calculation.

Cardiac MRI (CMR) is an important imaging modality in the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. CMR image acquisition is technically challenging, which in some circumstances is associated with artifacts, both general as well as sequence specific. Recognizing imaging artifacts, understanding their causes, and applying effective approaches for artifact mitigation are critical for successful CMR.

Inspired by animal navigation strategies, we introduce a novel computational model to navigate and map a space rooted in biologically inspired principles. Animals exhibit extraordinary navigation prowess, harnessing memory, imagination, and strategic decision-making to traverse complex and aliased environments adeptly. Our model aims to replicate these capabilities by incorporating a dynamically expanding cognitive map over predicted poses within an active inference framework, enhancing our agent's generative model plasticity to novelty and environmental changes.

Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) can be accelerated with simultaneous multislice (SMS) imaging for joint T and T quantification. However, the high inter-slice and in-plane acceleration in SMS-MRF causes severe aliasing artifacts, limiting the multiband (MB) factors to typically 2 or 3. Deep learning has demonstrated superior performance compared to the conventional dictionary matching approach for single-slice MRF, but its effectiveness in SMS-MRF remains unexplored.
