Unlabelled: Diagnosis of new bone growth in patients with compound tibia fractures or deformities treated using a Taylor spatial frame is difficult with conventional radiography because the frame obstructs the images and creates artifacts. The use of Na(18)F PET studies may help to eliminate this difficulty.
Methods: Patients were positioned on the pallet of a clinical PET/CT scanner and made as comfortable as possible with their legs immobilized.

Objective: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has recently gained attention as a modality for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which may serve as an alternative access pathway for individuals with severe motor impairments. For NIRS-BCIs to be used as a real communication pathway, reliable online operation must be achieved. Yet, only a limited number of studies have been conducted online to date.

Objective: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical imaging technique that has recently been considered for brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. To date, NIRS-BCI studies have primarily made use of temporal features of brain activity, derived from the time-course of optical signals measured from discrete locations, to differentiate mental states. However, functional brain imaging studies have indicated that the spatial distribution of haemodynamic activity is also rich in information.

In the paper, the general theory of systems is applied to a description of the spatio-temporal organization of the summary cortical potentials, synergetic approach is applied for the insight into the functioning of their system changes. This made it possible to consider the human and animal cortical potentials recorded under different experimental conditions from the single viewpoint. The system organization of cortical potentials in multiple derivations was revealed by comparison of momentary topograms (a sequence of momentary values of cortical potentials in all recording points).

The functional state of the brain cortex estimated by the dynamic changes in the global spatio-temporal organization of brain potentials (STOP) was studied at different stages of the cognitive set formed on the basis of the image of two circles of different diameter. Thirty five subjects (predominantly, right-handed) were examined. The method of quantitative estimation of successive topograms was used for the analysis of the STOP.
