Displaying raw MEG measurements with FreeSurfer
Proceedings of the IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference, NEBEC 2006 (2006) 59-60
Abstract:
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive technique of functional imaging which measures weak magnetic fields in the brain due to the currents generated from neural synapses. MEG systems contain a couple of hundred channels, making it difficult to visualize the raw measurements directly. As an alternative to rendering epileptic data, we demonstrate how MEG measurements can be mapped to a cortical surface by using a software package called FreeSurfer. We fuse MEG data with Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) by plotting the MEG amplitude on top of the MRI images of gray matter surface. In addition to the surface, we render the MEG intensity in the convoluted regions, e.g. sulci, by computationally "inflating" the brain. These techniques are utilized for experimental study currently, and can be extended for diagnostic purposes in the future. © 2006 IEEE.Design of the KMOS multi-object integral field spectrograph - art. no. 62691C

Abstract:
KMOS is a near-infrared multi-object integral field spectrometer which has been selected as one of a suite of second-generation instruments to be constructed for the ESO VLT in Chile. The instrument will be built by a consortium of UK and German institutes working in partnership with ESO and is currently at the end of its preliminary design phase. We present the design status of KMOS and discuss the most novel technical aspects and the compliance with the technical specification.Improved near-infrared methane band models and k-distribution parameters from 2000 to 9500 cm-1 and implications for interpretation of outer planet spectra
