We present a simple and fast phase aberration compensation method in digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for quantitative imaging of living cells. By analyzing the frequency spectrum an off-axis hologram, aberrations can be compensated automatically without fitting or pre-knowledge setup and/or object. Simple effective computation makes suitable online monitoring with highly variable DHM systems. Results from automated NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblasts demonstrate effectiveness feasibility method.
Abstract Signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) maps are a good way to visualize electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) sensitivity. SNR extend the knowledge about modulation of EEG MEG signals by source locations orientations can therefore help better understand interpret measured as well reconstruction results thereof. Our work has two main objectives. First, we investigated accuracy reliability finite element method (FEM)‐based sensitivity for three different head models,...

This offers discretization where number of unknowns independent complexity domain. We will show numerical computations for an elliptic scalar model problem in ℝ 2 3 . Convergence rates different polynomial degrees...

Human brain activity generates scalp potentials (electroencephalography - EEG), intracranial (iEEG), and external magnetic fields (magnetoencephalography MEG). These electrophysiology (e-phys) signals can often be measured simultaneously for research clinical applications. The forward problem involves modeling these at their sensors a given equivalent current dipole configuration within the brain. While earlier researchers modeled head as simple set of isotropic spheres, today's resonance...
Glioma is a broad class of brain and spinal cord tumors arising from glia cells, which are the main cells that can develop into neoplasms. They highly invasive lead to irregular tumor margins not precisely identifiable by medical imaging, thus rendering precise enough resection very difficult. The understanding glioma spread patterns hence essential for both radiological therapy as well surgical treatment. In this paper we propose multiscale model growth including interactions with...
In order to perform electroencephalography (EEG) source reconstruction, i.e., localize the sources underlying a measured EEG, electric potential distribution at electrodes generated by dipolar current in brain has be simulated, which is so-called EEG forward problem. To solve it accurately, necessary apply numerical methods that are able take individual geometry and conductivity of subject's head into account. this context, finite element (FE) method (FEM) shown high accuracy with...
In Electro- (EEG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG), one important requirement for source reconstruction is the forward model. The continuous Galerkin finite element method (CG-FEM) has become of dominant approaches solving problem over last decades. Recently, a discontinuous FEM (DG-FEM) EEG approach been proposed as an alternative to CG-FEM (Engwer et al., 2017). It was shown that DG-FEM preserves property conservation charge it can, in certain situations such so-called skull leakages, be...

Moreover, this equation features pH-taxis adhesion, along an integral term describing proliferation conditioned by receptor binding. interaction cells their surroundings calls two more evolution...
Finite element methods have been shown to achieve high accuracies in numerically solving the EEG forward problem and they enable realistic modeling of complex geometries important conductive features such as anisotropic conductivities. To date, most presented approaches rely on same underlying formulation, continuous Galerkin (CG)-FEM. In this article, a novel approach solve based mixed finite method (Mixed-FEM) is introduced. obtain Mixed-FEM electric current introduced an additional...
We present new stabilization terms for solving the linear transport equation on a cut cell mesh using discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method in two dimensions with piecewise polynomials. The goal is to allow explicit time stepping schemes despite presence of cells. Using lines approach, we start standard upwind DG discretization background and add penalty that stabilize solution small cells conservative way. Then one can use stepping, even cells, step length appropriate mesh. In dimension, show...
The purpose of this study is to introduce and evaluate the unfitted discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (UDG-FEM) for solving electroencephalography (EEG) forward problem.This new approach source analysis does not use a geometry conforming volume triangulation, but instead uses structured mesh that resolve geometry. described using level set functions incorporated implicitly in its mathematical formulation. As no triangulation necessary, complexity simulation pipeline need manual...
We deduce a model for glioma invasion that accounts the dynamics of brain tissue being actively degraded by tumor cells via excessive acidity production, but also according to local orientation fibers. Our approach has multiscale character: we start with microscopic description single cell including biochemical and/or biophysical effects microenvironment, translated on one hand into stress and corresponding forces other receptor binding dynamics. These lead mesoscopic level kinetic equations...
