Current analytical techniques applied to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data require a priori knowledge or specific assumptions about the time courses of processes contributing measured signals. Here we describe new method for analyzing fMRI based on independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm Bell and Sejnowski ([1995]: Neural Comput 7:1129-1159). We decomposed eight sets from 4 normal subjects performing Stroop color-naming, Brown Peterson work/number task, control tasks...
Article abstract-In a population-based case-control study, we investigated the potential role of occupational exposure to iron, copper, manganese, mercury, zinc, and lead as risk factors for Parkinson9s disease (PD). Concurrently recruited, nondemented patients (n = 144) with idiopathic PD controls 464) consisting men women >or=to50 years age, frequency-matched age (within 5 years), race, sex were enrolled. All had primary medical care at Henry Ford Health System in urban/suburban...
A method is given for determining the time course and spatial extent of consistently transiently task-related activations from other physiological artifactual components that contribute to functional MRI (fMRI) recordings. Independent component analysis (ICA) was used analyze two fMRI data sets a subject performing 6-min trials composed alternating 40-sec Stroop color-naming control task blocks. Each consisted fixed three-dimensional distribution brain voxel values (a “map”) an associated...
There is increasing interest in estimating and drawing inferences about risk or prevalence ratios differences instead of odds the regression setting. Recent publications have shown how GENMOD procedure SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, North Carolina) can be used to estimate these parameters non-population-based studies. In this paper, authors show model-adjusted risks, differences, ratio estimates obtained directly from logistic models complex sample survey setting yield population-based...
Traditional survey research measures attributes such as opinions, attitudes, beliefs, values, norms, and preferences. Few public surveys have attempted to map perceived spatial of places landscapes, a subject increasing importance environmental natural resource management. For the past 5 years, this researcher has included landscape values in five separate general Alaska (1998–2003). This article reviews data collection rationale behind these studies, design concepts, methods, implementation...
The Functional Imaging Biomedical Informatics Network is a consortium developing methods for multisite functional imaging studies. Both prefrontal hyper- or hypoactivity in chronic schizophrenia have been found previous studies of working memory.In this magnetic resonance (fMRI) study memory, 128 subjects with and age- gender-matched controls were recruited from 10 universities around the United States. Subjects performed Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm1,2 memory loads 1, 3, 5 items. A...
The concept of "place" links people to their environment and is foundational disciplines such as geography, environmental psychology, urban studies. With growth in geographic information systems (GIS) the 1990s, research began operationalize place concepts using GIS better inform land use decisions. After two decades, participatory mapping has emerged an important method identify values. This article summarizes lessons from empirical completed diverse social contexts. Specifically, we find...
Abstract Public values for national forestlands are assumed to underlie preferences actual forest use and define the context planning decision making, but relationship between attitudes toward management activities public (both nonuse values) is not well understood. Using data from a survey of Alaskan residents in Chugach National Forest plan revision process, actions examined using variety statistical procedures. Key findings indicate that: (1) respondents were able identify with 13...
Abstract Deficits in working memory (WM) are a consistent neurocognitive marker for schizophrenia. Previous studies have suggested that WM is the product of coordinated activity distributed functionally connected brain regions. Independent component analysis (ICA) data‐driven approach can identify temporally coherent networks underlie fMRI activity. We applied ICA to an dataset 115 patients with chronic schizophrenia and 130 healthy controls by performing Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm....
