Brain T1 mapping has important clinical applications in detecting brain disorders. Conventional T1 mapping techniques are usually based on inversion recovery spin echo (IRSE) imaging or its more time-efficient counterpart inversion recovery fast spin echo (IRFSE) imaging because they can deliver good image quality. Multiple inversion times are required to accurately estimate T1 over a wide rang...

INTRODUCTION This article provides an overview of the basic principles guiding research on brain-behaviour relationships in general, and as applied to studies of aggression during human development in particular. METHOD Key literature on magnetic resonance imaging of the structure and function of a developing brain was reviewed. RESULTS The article begins with a brief introduction to the me...

This paper presents the design of a Windows brain mapping application named brainmap Brain mapping is a technique that presents the spatial distribution of the electrical brain activ ity which is generated at the cortex and subsequently recorded on the scalp The brain map is constructed by interpolation of the measured scalp potentials at the electrode locations brainmap combines the e orts of ...

Recent neuroscience is lacking of consistent theory and methods for understanding the mechanisms through which the brain orchestrate the symphony of perceptions, thoughts and actions. The aim of this Chapter is to contribute to a better understanding of such mechanisms by establishing methodological foundations of the Operational Architectonics framework of brain and mind functioning. The theor...

Entropy is an important trait for life as well as the human brain. Characterizing brain entropy (BEN) may provide an informative tool to assess brain states and brain functions. Yet little is known about the distribution and regional organization of BEN in normal brain. The purpose of this study was to examine the whole brain entropy patterns using a large cohort of normal subjects. A series of...
