ABERRANT HEMODYNAMIC RESPONSES IN AUTISM: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESTING STATE FMRI FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY STUDIES

Aberrant hemodynamic responses in autism: Implications for resting state fMRI functional connectivity studies

Functional MRI (fMRI) is modeled as a convolution of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) and an unmeasured latent neural signal.However, HRF itself is variable across brain regions and subjects.This variability is induced by both neural and non-neural factors.Aberrations in underlying neurochemical mechanisms, which control HRF shape, have been

Using Drones to Measure Jellyfish Density in Shallow Estuaries

Understanding jellyfish ecology and roles in coastal ecosystems is challenging due to their patchy distribution.While standard net sampling or manned aircraft surveys are inefficient, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones represent a promising alternative for data collection.In this technical report, we used pictures taken from a small drone to
