Article Abstract
An optical cavity based biosensor using a differential detection method has been proposed to provide a novel approach to point-of-care diagnostics. A two-laser based optical cavity based sensor system is designed and experimentally demonstrated. While the calculated differential value of the two-laser system shows larger responsivity compared to individual wavelengths, the dynamic range of the system is rather small. Because of that, it turned out its fabrication tolerance is also small based on the simulation. We employed a three-laser system and redesigned the optical cavity to increase the dynamic range and improve the fabrication tolerance. In this presentation, we report the measurement results of the three-laser system for the first time. This system increases the dynamic range threefold by a chaining action. Because of this large dynamic range, this three-laser system is anticipated to have a larger fabrication tolerance.

Background: Gait impairments are one of the popular consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI). Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) is an innovative treatment that has recently been used to enhance motor function in patients with neurological conditions. This review aims to examine the effects of AIH on gait post-SCI, verify who most likely would benefit from the treatment, and recognize the best treatment protocol, if possible.

Cognitive flexibility requires both the encoding of task-relevant and the ignoring of task-irrelevant stimuli. While the neural coding of task-relevant stimuli is increasingly well understood, the mechanisms for ignoring task-irrelevant stimuli remain poorly understood. Here, we study how task performance and biological constraints jointly determine the coding of relevant and irrelevant stimuli in neural circuits.

The natural vibrational frequencies of biological particles such as viruses and bacteria encode critical information about their mechanical and biological states as they interact with their local environment and undergo structural evolution. However, detecting and tracking these vibrations within a biological context at the single particle level has remained elusive. In this study, we track the vibrational motions of single, unlabeled virus particles under ambient conditions using ultrafast spectroscopy.

The amount of information contained in speech signals is a fundamental concern of speech-based technologies and is particularly relevant in speech perception. Measuring the mutual information of actual speech signals is non-trivial, and quantitative measurements have not been extensively conducted to date. Recent advancements in machine learning have made it possible to directly measure mutual information using data.

Purposeful movement often requires selection of a particular action from a range of alternatives, but how does the brain represent potential actions so that they can be compared for selection, and how are motor commands generated if movement is initiated before the final goal is identified? According to one hypothesis, the brain averages partially prepared motor plans to generate movement when there is goal uncertainty. This is consistent with the idea that motor decision-making unfolds through competition between internal representations of alternative actions. An alternative hypothesis holds that only one movement, which is optimized for task performance, is prepared for execution at any time.
