Big data analysis of the human brain’s functional interactions based on fMRI

The human brain is a huge, complex system generating brain activity. The exploration of human brain function using functional magnetic resonance imaging （fMRI） is a promising method to understand brain activity. However, the complexity of the big data generated by fMRI facilitates the analysis of various levels of human brain activity, such as the distribution of neural represen- tations, the interaction between different regions, and the dynamic interaction over time. These different levels can depict distinct prospects of the human brain activity, and considerable progress has been achieved. In the future, more big data analysis methods combining advances in computer science, including larger-scale computing, machine learning, and graph theory, will promote the understanding of the human brain.     

Multifractal analysis of resting state fMRI series in default mode network: age and gender effects

Age-related changes of resting state in default mode network （DMN） may provide new clues to the developing mechanism of normal brain as well as early diagnosis and therapy of some neuropsychiatric disorders. The application of multifractal theory to functional magnetic resonance imaging （fMRI） signals has recently raised increasing attention. We aim to explore the multifractal characteristics underlying the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging （rs-fMRI） series extracted from DMN, and two issues are mainly discussed： （1） whether there exist multifractals in rs-fMRI series; （2） whether it is possible to distinguish between the different ages or genders by means of multifractal characteristics. Results demon- strated the existence of multifractals in rs-fMRI series in DMN. In addition, slight differences between young subjects and middle-aged or elderly subjects can be successfully detected by △asα, a modified measure we proposed. Furthermore, it is revealed that the rs-fMRI series from young subjects possess smaller averaged scale index and weaker long range correlation, while those from middle-aged or elderly people present increasing averaged scale index andstronger long range correlation. Whereas no significant statistical differences has been found between male and female group. Our results, therefore, highlight the potential useful- ness of multifractal analysis in fMRI series of a certain brain region, and provide important insights into healthy aging in DMN.

采用溶剂热法,以Cd(NO3)2·4H2O和升华硫为镉、硫来源,油胺为反应溶剂和表面活性剂,制备了硫化镉量子点(CdS QDs),并研究了反应温度、反应时间对硫化镉量子点尺寸的影响.通过X射线衍射(XRD)和透射电镜(TEM)对所制备产物的结构和形貌进行了表征.结果表明,所制备的硫化镉量子点结晶度较高,单分散性好,尺寸均一.通过紫外可见吸收光谱(UV-Vis)和荧光光谱(PL)表征了硫化镉量子点随反应温度和时间的变化,结果发现,随反应温度的升高和反应时间的延长,其吸收峰出现了明显的红移,即通过控制反应温度和时间可以控制硫化镉量子点的尺寸和发光颜色.

时域光学拓扑成像方法的模拟和实验研究

针对现有的以修正的朗伯-比尔定律(modified Lambert-Beer law,MLBL)为理论模型的光学拓扑方法存在量化度不准确的问题,提出了一种基于最小二乘拟合算法的时域光学拓扑成像方法.该方法利用时域扩散方程在半无限空间条件下的解析解和测量曲线实现最佳匹配以计算相邻的源点与探测点之间的待测组织吸收系数变化值.对该时域光学拓扑成像方法进行了一系列的模拟验证,并以基于时间相关单光子计数(time-correlated single photon counting,TCSPC)技术的多通道时间分辨测量系统为平台进行了实验验证.结果表明:所提出的最小二乘拟合算法总体上优于传统的基于经验值光程的MLBL方法.
