EEG involves recording, analysis, and interpretation of voltages recorded on the human scalp originating from brain grey matter. is one favorite methods to study understand processes that underlie behavior. This so, because relatively cheap, easy wear, light weight has high temporal resolution. In terms behavior, this encompasses actions, such as movements, are performed in response environment. However, there methodological difficulties when recording during movement artifacts. Thus, most...
Abstract Electrons bound in highly charged heavy ions such as hydrogen-like bismuth 209 Bi 82+ experience electromagnetic fields that are a million times stronger than light atoms. Measuring the wavelength of emitted and absorbed by these is therefore sensitive testing ground for quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects especially electron–nucleus interaction under extreme conditions. However, insufficient knowledge nuclear structure has prevented rigorous test strong-field QED. Here we...
Five right-handed patients with a right-sided vestibular neuritis were examined twice fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography while lying supine eyes closed: once during the acute stage (mean, 6.6 days) and then 3 months later when central compensation had occurred. Regional cerebral glucose metabolism (rCGM) was significantly increased (p <0.001 uncorrected) in multisensory cortical subcortical areas (parietoinsular cortex posterior insula, posterolateral thalamus, anterior...
We performed a laser spectroscopic determination of the $2s$ hyperfine splitting (HFS) Li-like $^{209}\text{Bi}^{80+}$ and repeated measurement $1s$ HFS H-like $^{209}\text{Bi}^{82+}$. Both ion species were subsequently stored in Experimental Storage Ring at GSI Helmholtzzentrum f\"ur Schwerionenforschung Darmstadt cooled with an electron cooler velocity $\approx 0.71\,c$. Pulsed excitation $M1$ hyperfine-transition was anticollinear collinear geometry for $\text{Bi}^{82+}$...

Inclusion criteria consisted treatment uniform therapy scheme and continuous aftercare same institution. Initial diagnosis was between 1975-1995 (age at diagnosis, 14-84 years,...
Motion analysis has become an important tool for athletes to improve their performance. However, most motion systems are expensive and can only be used in a laboratory environment. Ambulatory using inertial sensors would allow more flexible use, e.g. real traini
Road-traffic-noise exposition is widespread in Germany and can have harmful health effects. As guidance for informed decision-making, we estimated the environmental burden of disease attributable to road-traffic noise Hesse, as disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). Using detailed road-traffic-noise exposure data provided by Hessian Agency Nature Conservation, Environment, Geology (HLNUG), calculated DALYs due > 40 dB(A) L24h (unweighted average 24 h level) other metrics endpoints with...
Electromyogenic or muscle artifacts constitute a major problem in studies involving electroencephalography (EEG) measurements. This is because the rather low signal activity of brain overlaid by comparably high muscles, especially neck muscles. Hence, recording an artifact-free EEG during movement physical exercise not, to best knowledge authors, feasible at moment. Nevertheless, measurements are used variety different fields like diagnosing epilepsy and other related diseases biofeedback...

Measurements involving a frequency comb for stabilization and absolute determination allowed us to determine shifts an accuracy 2 MHz. From between 9Be 7, 10, 11Be, high-accuracy mass calculations charge radius reference we determined nuclear radii isotopes 10Be one-neutron halo nucleus 11Be. The results are compared...
We report an improved measurement of the hyperfine splitting in hydrogen-like bismuth (209Bi82+) at experimental storage ring ESR GSI by laser spectroscopy on a coasting beam. Accuracy was about order magnitude compared to first observation 1994. The most important improvement is situ high voltage electron cooler (EC) platform with accuracy 10 ppm level. Furthermore, space charge effect EC current ion velocity determined two independent techniques that provided consistent results. result nm...
In the running community, a forefoot strike (FFS) pattern is increasingly preferred compared with rearfoot (RFS) pattern. However, it has not been fully understood which may better reduce adverse joint forces within different joints of lower extremity.To analyze 3-dimensional (3D) stress in ankle, knee, and hip runners either FFS or RFS pattern.Descriptive laboratory study.In 22 (11 habitual strikers, 11 strikers), patterns were at 3.0 m/s (6.7 mph) on treadmill integrated force plates 3D...
Electroencephalography (EEG) is often used in source analysis studies, which the locations of cortex regions responsible for a signal are determined. For this to be possible, accurate positions electrodes at scalp surface must determined, otherwise errors estimation will occur. Today, several methods acquiring these exist but they not satisfyingly or take long time perform. Therefore, paper we describe method capable determining accurately and fast. This uses an infrared light motion capture...

Combined with corresponding hydrogen-like ion 209Bi82+, it will allow extraction of specific difference between two transitions that is unaffected by magnetic moment distribution nucleus and can therefore provide a better test bound-state QED extremely strong fields.
