Standard Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems assume that the arms are independent. However, in many application scenarios, the information obtained by playing an arm provides information about the remainder of the arms. Hence, in such applications, this informativeness can and should be exploited to enable faster convergence to the optimal solution. In this paper, we introduce and formalize the G...

We made an MR-compatible brain slice holder that ensures that the images have the same location and orientation as the subsequent histologic sections. This device encloses the unfixed tissues, thus reducing the danger of exposure to pathogens. MR imaging time is saved by scanning selected slices rather than the whole brain; this technique is especially useful when brain sections at varying angl...
