چکیده

It is widely thought that resting state functional connectivity likely reflects functional interaction among brain areas and that different functional areas interact with different sets of brain areas. A method for mapping areal boundaries has been formulated based on the large-scale spatial characteristics of regional interaction revealed by resting state functional connectivity. In the present study, we present a novel analysis for areal boundary mapping that requires only the signal timecourses within a region of interest, without reference to the information from outside the region. The areal boundaries were generated by the novel analysis and were compared with those generated by the previously-established standard analysis. The boundaries were robust and reproducible across the two analyses, in two regions of interest tested. These results suggest that the information for areal boundaries is readily available inside the region of interest.

Video Subject Inpainting: A Posture-Based Method

Despite recent advances in video inpainting techniques, reconstructing large missing regions of a moving subject while its scale changes remains an elusive goal. In this paper, we have introduced a scale-change invariant method for large missing regions to tackle this problem. Using this framework, first the moving foreground is separated from the background and its scale is equalized. Then, a ...

Evaluation of Sensory Pathways in Spinal Cord by Comparison of fMRI Methodologies

Introduction: Today, clinicians and neuroscientists need to have a comprehensive survey of neurological pathologies and injuries. For the First-time, SEEP contrast and Spin-Echo pulse sequences was used for functional imaging of the Lumbar spinal cord. This method used by several research groups for Spinal cord mapping, but other researchers tried to improve BOLD fMRI to Spina...

Generating the Visual Biofeedback Signals Applicable to Reduction of Wrist Spasticity: A Pilot Study on Stroke Patients

Introduction: Application of biofeedback techniques in rehabilitation has turned into an exciting research area during the recent decade. Providing an appropriate visual or auditory biofeedback signal is the most critical requirement of a biofeedback technique. In this regard, changes in Surface Electromyography (SEMG) signals during wrist movement can be used to generate an indictable visual b...

The Study ‎of ‎S‎ome Boundary Value Problems Including Fractional ‎Partial ‎Differential‎ Equations with non-Local Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we consider some boundary value problems (BVP) for fractional order partial differential equations ‎(FPDE)‎ with non-local boundary conditions. The solutions of these problems are presented as series solutions analytically via modified Mittag-Leffler functions. These functions have been modified by authors such that their derivatives are invariant with respect to fractional deriv...

The Wave Equation in Non-classic Cases: Non-self Adjoint with Non-local and Non-periodic Boundary Conditions

In this paper has been studied the wave equation in some non-classic cases. In the  rst case boundary conditions are non-local and non-periodic. At that case the associated spectral problem is a self-adjoint problem and consequently the eigenvalues are real. But the second case the associated spectral problem is non-self-adjoint and consequently the eigenvalues are complex numbers,in which two ...
