We report a simple add-on for broadband stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopes to enable fast and programmable spectroscopy acquisition. It comprises a conventional dispersive spectrometer layout incorporating a fast digital micromirror device (DMD). The approach is validated by acquiring SRS spectra of standard chemicals. We demonstrate a DMD's advantage in broadband SRS by showing higher signal-to-noise ratio using a multiplexed Hadamard spectral basis and compressive sensing detection. Our results apply to a variety of frequency-domain pump-probe spectroscopy.

Multiple coherent radiations are achieved in a water-3-aminopropanol (3AP) mixed solution through cascaded four-wave mixing (C-FWM) and cascaded Stokes (C-Stokes) processes, both driven by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in this work. The O-H vibration peak from water is replaced by the emergence of the -NH symmetric stretching Raman peaks from 3AP, with intensity approaching that of the -CH symmetric stretching peak. The dual-wavelength SRS signals for the -NH and -CH stretching vibrations have a relatively small frequency interval of about 400 cm (16 nm).

Gentamicin is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic that broadly targets Gram-negative microbes. Both human and animal studies have shown that administration of gentamicin is ototoxic by several routes of administration and results in sensorineural hearing loss due to damaged hair cell at the base of the cochlea. However, gentamicin is also administered intranasally to treat sinusitis in humans, but no animal studies have examined ototoxicity of gentamicin administered via this route.

Manipulations of the strength of visual motion coherence have been widely used to study behavioral and neural mechanisms of visual motion processing. Here, we used a novel broadband visual stimulus to test how the strength of motion coherence in different spatial frequency (SF) bands impacts human ocular-following responses (OFRs). Synthesized broadband stimuli were used: a sum of one-dimensional vertical sine-wave gratings (SWs) whose SFs ranged from 0.

Objective: The study aimed to compare the efficacy of brainwave entrainment in the treatment of individuals with tinnitus having normal hearing sensitivity. The effect of binaural beats (BB) stimulation in reducing negative emotions and tinnitus handicap post-three months is explored in this longitudinal study.
Method: The study comprised sixty individuals (four groups) with tinnitus having normal hearing.

The high-frequency activity (HFA; 80-150 Hz) in human intracranial recordings shows a differential modulation to different degrees in contrast when stimuli are behaviorally relevant, indicating a feedforward process. However, the HFA is also significantly dominated by superficial layers and exhibits a peak before 200 ms, suggesting that it is more likely a feedback signal. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings are suited to reveal an HFA modulation similar to its modulation in intracranial recordings.
