abstract

g20 world brain mapping initiative (neuroscience/n-20) is putting brain mapping on the top of global economic issues the society for brain mapping, therapeutics, and brain mapping foundation are propelling therapeutic advances in nano-neurosurgery, nano-bio-electronics, artificial intelligence, neuro-supercomputing and ‘cross-pollination’ among the bio-medical sciences and engineering worldwide. “think of brain mapping as a google map, the snapshot of earth being equivalent of the mri. now zoom down to the cities, which represents a functional mri, then zoom on the roads, which represent brain connectomics. if you zoom down further, you will see the cars, which represent brain cells and people in the car represent brain genomics and nanoscale structures” explains dr. babak kateb, founding chairman of the board of sbmt, scientific director of california neurosurgical institute.

P-value: What is and what is not

The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.

What is Preference Mapping

As the capacity to summarize of the preference map diminishes with the number of consumers (the number of axes to interpret increases), a non-metric PCA is sometimes used to reduce the number of necessary axes. The non-metric PCA consists of a monotone transform of the data so that the variability explained by the k (k=2 or 3) first axes is maximized. This transform implies that we consider the...

What Is Applied Literature?

Applied literature is a term that is the outcome of a need to put literature to tangible uses in the “real” world. A medical practitioner looking for a definition of life, for instance, finds literature a useful source for the answer. With paradigm shifts in scientific studies, interdisciplinarity has been a method to overcome the alienations that resulted from the isolation of disciplines from...

BRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

What is the brain?

From a structural perspective, there are ten basic parts of the vertebrate CNS that are almost universally agreed upon. These parts have been grouped in at least five different ways corresponding to five different theories about its basic plan or architecture. Two classical models that remain popular today are derived from (1) comparative anatomy and the body's segmental organization, and (2) c...
