BACKGROUND Hyperbaric and isobaric bupivacaine has been shown to reduce bispectral index (BIS) during spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of isobaric bupivacaine and hyperbaric bupivacaine on the BIS during cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, 84 pregnant women with ASA (America...

20 Attention is thought to impose an informational bottleneck on vision by selecting 21 particular information from visual scenes for enhanced processing. Behavioral 22 evidence suggests, however, that some scene information can be extracted even 23 when attention is directed elsewhere. Here, we investigated the neural correlates of 24 this ability by examining how attention affects electrophys...

A magnetically shielded room (MSR) equipped with an automatic door is designed and developed to improve a convenience of operation. The MSR for biomagnetic measurements (e.g., magneto-encephalography), it required that such has high shielding performance because biomagnetism extremely smaller than environmental magnetic noises. In particular, we devise the laminar structure shield plates preven...

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

Information systems (IS) community is increasingly interested in employing neuroscience tools and methods in order to develop new theories concerning Human-computer interaction (HCI) and further understand IS acceptance models. The new field of NeuroIS has been introduced to address these issues. NeuroIS researchers have proposed encephalography (EEG), among other neuroscience instruments, as a...

Brain systems supporting face and voice processing both contribute to the extraction of important information for social interaction (e.g., person identity). How does the brain reorganize when one of these channels is absent? Here, we explore this question by combining behavioral and multimodal neuroimaging measures (magneto-encephalography and functional imaging) in a group of early deaf human...

It has been proposed that the workings of the brain are mainly intrinsically generated recurrent neuronal activity, with sensory inputs as modifiers of such activity in both sensory and higher order modality non-specific regions. This is supported by the demonstration of recurrent neuronal activity in the visual system as a response to visual stimulation. In contrast recurrent activity has neve...

Introduction: The concept of one-voxel-one-coil(OVOC) acquisition has been introduced as an extreme realization of parallel imaging where spatial information is predominantly encoded through the sensitive volumes of multiple small coils. In implementations as MR-encephalography(MREG) or Inverse Imaging (InI) this allows very rapid examination of functional activation (1,2). The signal time cour...
