Functional Data Analysis By Matrix Completion1

Functional data analyses typically proceed by smoothing, followed by functional PCA. This paradigm implicitly assumes that rough variation is due to nuisance noise. Nevertheless, relevant functional features such as time-localised or short scale fluctuatio ...

Phase Noise Measurements Of Aluminum Scandium Nitride Oscillators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andrea Lozzi, Marco Liffredo

This paper presents the first phase noise (PN) measurements of oscillators based on aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) resonators. 2-port AlScN contour mode resonators (CMR) operating at 195 MHz arc fabricated. A large pool of Q values (ranging from 150 to ...

Multi-slice passband bSSFP for human and rodent fMRI at ultra-high field

Rolf Gruetter, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva, Olivier Benoit Thomas Reynaud

Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) can be used as an alternative to gradient-echo (GE) EPI for BOLD functional MRI when image distortions and signal drop-outs are severe such as at ultra-high field. However, 3D-bSSFP acquisitions have distinct d ...

Processing pathways for emotional vocalizations

Stephanie Clarke, Sandra Elisabete Monney, Olivier Benoit Thomas Reynaud

Emotional sounds are processed within a large cortico-subcortical network, of which the auditory cortex, the voice area, and the amygdala are the core regions. Using 7T fMRI, we have compared the effect of emotional valence (positive, neutral, and negative ...

Microwave inductive proximity sensors with sub-pm/Hz1/2 resolution

Giovanni Boero, Nergiz Sahin Solmaz, Alessandro Valentino Matheoud

Inductive proximity sensors are low-cost and versatile detectors achieving resolutions in the nm and sub-nm range. Their typical working frequency ranges from tens of kHz to a few MHz. Operation at higher frequencies is considered as a possible route for t ...

Spatial clusters of daytime sleepiness and association with nighttime noise levels in a Swiss general population (GeoHypnoLaus)

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

INTRODUCTION: Daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent in the general adult population and has been linked to an increased risk of workplace and vehicle accidents, lower professional performance and poorer health. Despite the established relationship between ...

Frequent walkers: from healthy individual behaviours to sustainable mobility futures

Derek Pierre Christie

Walking is often taken for granted or considered as an ancillary activity. Little is known about the distribution of walking in contemporary populations, and even less about the few people who walk for an hour or more in public space on most days of the we ...

Keeping track of sound objects in space: The contribution of early-stage auditory areas

Stephanie Clarke, Sandra Elisabete Monney

The influential dual-stream model of auditory processing stipulates that information pertaining to the meaning and to the position of a given sound object is processed in parallel along two distinct pathways, the ventral and dorsal auditory streams. Functi ...

Influence of physiological noise on accelerated 2D and 3D resting state functional MRI data at 7 T

Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Olivier Benoit Thomas Reynaud

Physiological noise often dominates the blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal fluctuations in high-field functional MRI (fMRI) data. Therefore, to optimize fMRI protocols, it becomes crucial to investigate how physiological signal fluctuations impact ...
