A Time-Based, Digitally Intensive Circuit and System Architecture for Wireless Neural Recording with High Dynamic Range

Alexandre Schmid, Chen Cao, Wen-Yang Hsu

A new type of wireless neural recording front-end with PWM modulation and VCO-based ADC is proposed. The target signal is first encoded into binary levels with varying pulse width by PWM modulation, which intrinsically has much higher dynamic range compare ...

Generation of 1.5-octave intense infrared pulses by nonlinear interactions in DAST crystal

Christoph Peter Hauri

Infrared pulses with large spectral width extending from 1.2 to 3.4 μm are generated in the organic crystal DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methylstilbazolium tosylate). The input pulse has a central wavelength of 1.5 μm and 65 fs duration. With 2.8 mJ in ...

A Relative Imaging CMOS Image Sensor for High Dynamic Range and High Frame-Rate Machine Vision Imaging Applications

Yusuf Leblebici, Alexandre Schmid, Vladan Popovic, Nikola Katic, Radisav Cojbasic

This paper proposes an unconventional image acquisition scheme for machine vision applications, based on detecting ratios of illumination (pixel) intensities. Detecting relative ratios enables capturing the scene features and patterns almost independently ...

Discriminant Brain Connectivity Patterns of Performance Monitoring at Average and Single-Trial Levels

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang

Electrophysiological and neuroimaging evidence suggest the existence of common mechanisms for monitoring erroneous events, independent of the source of errors. Previous works have described modulations of theta activity in the medial frontal cortex elicite ...

Suprathermal electron studies in Tokamak plasmas by means of diagnostic measurements and modeling

Josef Kamleitner

To achieve reactor-relevant conditions in a tokamak plasma, auxiliary heating systems are required and can be realized by waves injected in the plasma that heat ions or electrons under certain conditions. Electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH) is a ver ...
