Different transforms used in binding a secret key to correlated physical-identifier outputs are compared. Decorrelation efficiency is the metric used to determine transforms that give highly-uncorrelated outputs. Scalar quantizers are applied to transform outputs to extract uniformly distributed bit sequences to which secret keys are bound. A set of transforms that perform well in terms of the decorrelation efficiency is applied to ring oscillator (RO) outputs to improve the uniqueness and reliability of extracted bit sequences, to reduce the hardware area and information leakage about the key and RO outputs, and to maximize the secret-key length. Low-complexity error-correction codes are proposed to illustrate two complete key-binding systems with perfect secrecy, and better secret-key and privacy-leakage rates than existing methods. A reference hardware implementation is also provided to demonstrate that the transform-coding approach occupies a small hardware area.

This work demonstrates that the phase-based decorrelation compensation method outperforms the amplitude-based approach in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions of phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PhS-OCT). Building on this finding, an adaptive decorrelation compensation approach for digital-image-correlation (DIC)-assisted PhS-OCT is introduced. This method utilizes the maximum correlation coefficient from amplitude maps to adaptively determine the need for secondary tracking of decorrelated displacement using the phase-based approach.

Sensory neurons often encode multisensory or multimodal signals. For example, many medial superior temporal (MST) neurons are tuned to heading direction of self-motion based on visual (optic flow) signals and vestibular signals. Middle temporal (MT) cortical neurons are tuned to object depth from signals of two visual modalities: motion parallax and binocular disparity.

The role of the vertebrate retina in early vision is generally described by the efficient coding hypothesis, which predicts that the retina reduces the redundancy inherent in natural scenes by discarding spatiotemporal correlations while preserving stimulus information. It is unclear, however, whether the predicted decorrelation and redundancy reduction in the activity of ganglion cells, the retina's output neurons, hold under gaze shifts, which dominate the dynamics of the natural visual input. We show here that species-specific gaze patterns in natural stimuli can drive correlated spiking responses both in and across distinct types of ganglion cells in marmoset as well as mouse retina.

Optimal Poisson subsampling decorrelated score for high-dimensional generalized linear models.

For high-dimensional generalized linear models (GLMs) with massive data, this paper investigates a unified optimal Poisson subsampling scheme to conduct estimation and inference for prespecified low-dimensional partition of the whole parameter. A Poisson subsampling decorrelated score function is proposed such that the adverse effect of the less accurate nuisance parameter estimation with slow convergence rate can be mitigated. The resultant Poisson subsample estimator is proved to enjoy consistency and asymptotic normality, and a more general optimal subsampling criterion including A- and L-optimality criteria is formulated to improve estimation efficiency.

Skin microvasculature is essential for cardiovascular health and thermoregulation in humans, yet its imaging and analysis pose significant challenges. Established methods, such as speckle decorrelation applied to optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans for OCT-angiography (OCTA), often require a high number of B-scans, leading to long acquisition times that are prone to motion artifacts. In our study, we propose a novel approach integrating a deep learning algorithm within our OCTA processing.
