Reaching is one of the fundamental tasks in daily life thus the neural processing of such a task will benefit brain computer interface (BCI) development. Even the simplest reaching task results from a movement planning phase as well as a movement execution phase. To facilitate the neural decoding of human reaching, brain activity in both movement planning and execution phases should be investigated...
Writing and reading in a second language (L2) is a difficult processing that involves reciprocation between the native language (L1) and second language. In older to investigate the fundamental mechanisms, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to visualize Japanese-Chinese bilinguals' brain activity in phonological processing of Chinese and Japanese words. We utilized fMRI to investigate...
Segmentation of brain tissue from non-brain tissue, also known as skull stripping, has been challenging due to the complexity of anatomical brain structures and variable parameters of MR imaging modalities. It has been one of the most important preprocessing steps in medical image analysis. We propose a new brain segmentation algorithm that is based on a level set based deformable model. Two different...
An automated preprocessing method to improve the performance of brain segmentation with Brain Extraction Tools (BET) is proposed in this paper. It is an automatic decision method of optimal cutting plane of non-brain tissues. This method can be easily integrated into BET and can significantly improve the brain segmentation result for troublesome images. Some clinical 3D T1-weighted MRI data of glioma...
Phase synchrony among cortical brain regions is a key aspect of the working memory process. In this study we utilized phase synchrony analysis of EEG signals to construct brain networks and investigate the rest and working memory states of the brain. The maintenance period of working memory demonstrated higher global and local phase synchronization compared to the rest condition in the theta, alpha...
