Shift-Invariant Canonical Polyadic Decomposition of Complex-Valued Multi-Subject fMRI Data with a Phase Sparsity Constraint
2020
Canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) of multi-subject complex-valued fMRI data can be used to provide spatially and temporally shared components among groups with both magnitude and phase information. However, the CPD model is not well formulated due to the large subject variability in the spatial and temporal modalities, as well as the high noise level in complex-valued fMRI data. Considering that the shift-invariant CPD can model temporal variability across subjects, we propose to further impose a phase sparsity constraint on the shared spatial maps to denoise the complex-valued components and to model the inter-subject spatial variability as well. More precisely, subject-specific time …
Applying fully tensorial ICA to fMRI data
2016
There are two aspects in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data that make them awkward to analyse with traditional multivariate methods - high order and high dimension. The first of these refers to the tensorial nature of observations as array-valued elements instead of vectors. Although this can be circumvented by vectorizing the array, doing so simultaneously loses all the structural information in the original observations. The second aspect refers to the high dimensionality along each dimension making the concept of dimension reduction a valuable tool in the processing of fMRI data. Different methods of tensor dimension reduction are currently gaining popUlarity in literature…
Anticipatory postural adjustments during joint action coordination
2019
International audience; There is a current claim that humans are able to effortlessly detect others’ hidden mental state by simply observing their movements and transforming the visual input into motor knowledge to predict behaviour. Using a classical paradigm quantifying motor predictions, we tested the role of vision feedback during a reach and load-lifting task performed either alone or with the help of a partner. Wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities were recorded on the supporting hand. Early muscle changes preventing limb instabilities when participants performed the task by themselves revealed the contribution of the visual input in postural anticipation. When the partner perfo…
Sviluppo di un software per l’analisi di immagini di Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging
2013
L’analisi mediante RM del tensore di diffusione (Diffusion Tensor Imaging, DTI) consente di valutare anche in vivo e con modalità non invasive il processo di diffusione delle molecole d’acqua nei tessuti biologici. La peculiare organizzazione di alcuni tessuti biologici (es: muscoli, sostanza bianca del sistema nervoso centrale e tessuti ad alta cellularità) influenza tale fenomeno rendendolo anisotropo e quindi ben valutabile con tali tecniche di studio. Nonostante i grandi vantaggi di tale tecnica, il DTI è basato su un modello molto semplificato che assume che lo spostamento per diffusione segua un profilo gaussiano il che è molto raro in un ambiente variegato come i tessuti biologic…
From the spherical top to the asymmetric top
2004
This habilitation report presents a synthesis of my research work during the last 14 years. I have distinguished my experimental activities (part III), my theoretical work on the spectroscopy of quasi-spherical tops (part IV) and that concerning the spectroscopy of molecules trapped in solids (part V).
Implicación de la zona subventricular en la progresión de discapacidad en esclerosis múltiple
2019
Introducción: En la esclerosis múltiple (EM) coexisten mecanismos patogénicos derivados de procesos inflamatorios, degenerativos y fallos en la reparación del sistema nervioso central. Existen dos periodos clínicos definidos, el primero dominado por los brotes, denominado “forma remitente recurrente (RR)” y el segundo, por progresión de discapacidad independiente de brotes, “forma progresiva (EMP, SP)”. El proceso neurodegenerativo subyacente a la EMP está presente desde el inicio pero se pone de manifiesto tardíamente, tras agotarse la reserva funcional capaz de compensar el déficit inicial. Es primordial identificar biomarcadores para el diagnóstico precoz de la EMP ya que los tratamiento…
Efecto del entrenamiento de fuerza explosiva sobre las características básicas y específicas de la fuerza en jugadoras de voleibol
2012
La investigación sobre el efecto del entrenamiento de fuerza explosiva sobre las características básicas y específicas de la fuerza explosiva, se ha realizado con 40 jugadoras de voleibol divididas en tres grupos: Un grupo específico formado por 12 jugadoras de elite que ha sido sometido al proceso de entrenamiento específico con objetivo de desarrollar la fuerza explosiva de los extensores de espalda, los extensores de piernas y los extensores de tobillos. Un segundo grupo clásico formado por 11 jugadoras de voleibol que han realizado entrenamiento clásico sin impacto en la fuerza explosiva. Y un tercer grupo control formado por 20 mujeres sanas, no entrenadas y con buena condición física.…
Unique continuation results for certain generalized ray transforms of symmetric tensor fields
2022
Let $I_{m}$ denote the Euclidean ray transform acting on compactly supported symmetric $m$-tensor field distributions $f$, and $I_{m}^{*}$ be its formal $L^2$ adjoint. We study a unique continuation result for the normal operator $N_{m}=I_{m}^{*}I_{m}$. More precisely, we show that if $N_{m}$ vanishes to infinite order at a point $x_0$ and if the Saint-Venant operator $W$ acting on $f$ vanishes on an open set containing $x_0$, then $f$ is a potential tensor field. This generalizes two recent works of Ilmavirta and M\"onkk\"onen who proved such unique continuation results for the ray transform of functions and vector fields/1-forms. One of the main contributions of this work is identifying t…
Effects of combined and classic training on different isometric rate of force development parameters of leg extensors in female volleyball players: D…
2012
Background: The aim of this study is to verify the effects of the combined and classic training of different isometric rates of force development (RFD) parameters of legs. Materials and Methods: Three groups of female athletes was tested: Experimental group (N = 12), classically trained group (N = 11), and control group (N = 20) of athletes. The isometric "standing leg extension" and "Rise on Toes" tests were conducted to evaluate the maximal force, time necessary time to reach it and the RFD analyzed at 100 ms, 180 ms, 250 ms from the onset, and 50-100% of its maximal result. Results: The maximal RFD of legs and calves are dominant explosive parameters. Special training enhanced the RFD of…
Benzen i metan jako wzorce przesunięcia chemicznego 1 H i 13 C NMR w obliczeniach teoretycznych
2020
NMR spectroscopy belongs to the most versatile techniques used in chemical laboratory for testing the presence of various compounds and elucidation of their structure. In case of more complex natural products chemical intuition and experience applied to analysis of experimental spectra is often supported by theoretical modeling of NMR spectra. However, theoretical predictions should be reliable and the errors associated with the approximations inherent to the existing methods minimized. In this respect, systematic errors, present in calculation of isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings of the studied molecule need to be minimized. Conversion of nuclear shieldings of the studied molecule to t…
