A thin line of apparent radiolucency is a frequent companion outline of the heart borders and the aortic knob. This usually represents a "negative" Mach band. On occasion, such lines can be confused with pneumomediastinum or pneumopericardium, especially if only a single postero-anterior (PA) film is available. Criteria are presented which enable the radiologist to distinguish between these possibilities without depending on other findings.

Emotion regulation strategies explain associations of theta and Beta with positive affect.
Psychophysiology
January 2025
Department of Psychological Science, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA.
Maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies are a transdiagnostic construct in psychopathology. ER depends on cognitive control, so brain activity associated with cognitive control, such as frontal theta and beta, may be a factor in ER. This study investigated the association of theta and beta power with positive affect and whether emotion regulation strategies explain this association.

By periodically modulating the phases imposed to the optical pulses in linear driven lattices, a two-band Floquet system with tunable bandgaps is realized, and the related BZOs that occurred in this system are displayed. On this basis, by manipulating the phase difference and coupling angle of the synthetic lattice, the widths of 0-gap and -gap are tuned feasibly so that a wide variety of the interplays between Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling (LZT) are exhibited.

Visual perceptual artefacts are distortions or illusions in medical image interpretation arising from the human visual system rather than hardware or imaging acquisition processes. These artefacts, emerging at various visual processing stages, such as the retina, visual pathways, visual cortex, and cognitive interpretation stages, impact the interpretation of cardiothoracic images. This review discusses artefacts including Mach bands, Dark Rim, Background Effects, Ambiguous Figures, Subjective Contours, and the Parallax Effect.

Studying the complex interactions between different brain regions is crucial in neuroscience. Various statistical methods have explored the latent communication across multiple brain regions. Two main categories are the Gaussian Process (GP) and Linear Dynamical System (LDS), each with unique strengths.

IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell
September 2024
The progress on Hyperspectral image (HSI) super-resolution (SR) is still lagging behind the research of RGB image SR. HSIs usually have a high number of spectral bands, so accurately modeling spectral band interaction for HSI SR is hard. Also, training data for HSI SR is hard to obtain so the dataset is usually rather small.
