BACKGROUND Although pilot trials of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in aphasia are encouraging, protocol optimization is needed. Notably, it has not yet been clarified which of the varied electrode montages investigated is the most effective in enhancing language recovery. OBJECTIVE To consider and contrast the predicted brain current flow patterns (electric field distribution)...

Montage will deliver a generalized toolkit for generating on demand science grade custom astronomical image mosaics Science grade in this context requires that terrestrial and instrumental features are removed from images in a way that can be described quantitatively Custom refers to user speci ed parameters of projection coordinates size rotation and spatial sampling and whether the drizzle al...

Blind source separation (BSS) is a relatively recent technique, more and more applied in electroencephalographic (EEG) signal processing. Still, the classical mixing model of the BSS does not take into account the real recording set-up. In fact, a major problem in electrophysiological recording systems (e.g. ECG, EEG, EMG) is to find a region in the human body whose bio-potential activity can b...

The architecture of Montage which delivers custom science grade astronomical images was presented at ADASS XII That architecture has been tested on MASS images computed on single processor Linux machines that hold all image data in memory This year we describe the design of a grid enabled version of Montage suitable for large scale pro cessing of the sky It exploits to the maximum the paralleli...

Unedited video often has significant content that is of low interest to the viewer. One way to present such videos is by creating a video montage preserving interesting content. Manually doing this is difficult for a non-expert without specialized video editing software. We propose and demonstrate a technique for creating a video montage automatically from unedited video with minimal need for u...

27 Convergent findings point to a left-sided specialization for the representation of learned actions in right28 handed humans, but it is unknown whether analogous hemispheric specialization exists for motor skill 29 learning. Here, we explored this question by comparing the effects of anodal transcranial direct current 30 stimulation (tDCS) over either left or right motor cortex (M1) on motor ...

We have used the Montage image mosaic engine to investigate the cost and perfonnance of processing images on the Amazon EC2 cloud, and to infonn the requirements that higher-level products impose on provenance management technologies. We will present a detailed comparison of the perfonnance of Montage on the cloud and on the Abe high perfomlance cluster at the ational Center for Supercomputing ...

The fashion, textile, and clothing industry is a main constituent in Hong Kong. In this industry, handling a large amount of images is an important task in various phases, for example, the designing, sourcing, and merchandising phase. We develop an image database system called, Montage for managing and retrieving these visual information e ciently and e ectively. Montage is an image database su...
