Combining Brain Recording Technologies: Using Brain Surfaces

The surfaces of the human cortex like the boundary between the grey and white matter or the pial surface, which separates the grey matter from the cerebral spinal fluid, are strongly folded. The surface areas can be estimated from structural MRI scans and turn out to be 1994cm for the pial surface and 1741cm for the grey-white matter boundary for the subject shown here. A comparison to the surf...

Science Education Research Using Advanced Recording Technologies

While A/V technology has gotten increasingly more cost-effective, its deployment in instructional settings has typically not taken best advantage of its capabilities, resulting in low quality data that hampers the analysis process. This paper will outline a two-year process of the design and evolution of recording technology packages for use in a range of science education instructional setting...

Data sharing: reaching consensus.

Pisani & AbouZahr write passionately about the need to change the culture of data sharing in public health research.1 They explain why this is in everybody’s best interests and outline ways in which the main obstacles can be overcome. This is laudable and much appreciated; it is time for a change, the current situation is unacceptably inefficient in terms of scientific progress and value for mo...

Smoking status recording in GP electronic records: the unrealised potential.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the recording of smoking status and factors associated with the recording of smoking status in general practitioner (GP) electronic medical records (EMRs) in New Zealand, and the suitability of this source as a prevalence measure. SETTING General practices affiliated with an Auckland-based primary health organisation. POPULATION Patients registered with 84/107 (78.5...
