emotion.” (Weiss 453) Everyone knows love exists and it can be measured and analyzed. Love is a real thing. The concept of sexual desire and romantic love are intertwinded. These researchers analyzed the twenty seperate Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scans trials of subjects engaged on tasks. The trial subjects engaged in looking at porn, and photos of significant others. Photos of their acquaintances non pornagraphic. Researchers were able to show the subjects how these concepts and…

With music, you experience something that is encoded into our bodies and our brain. It goes directly to a part of the brain that stimulates our emotions. Music starts affecting humans at an early time. The human fetus begins to hear when they are 17 to 18 weeks old. Music is energy. People that can not hear can still feel the music with vibrations. Every object has the capacity to send waves or vibrations. Vibrations make the music go into the brain by sending waves. An electrical charge…

Diffuse Optical Tomography is non invasive, non ionizing functional imaging modality used for detection of brain tumor and breast cancer. A forward model design depicts the placement of laser source and photo-detector around the tissue boundary. The light propagation on the phantom takes place in Near-Infra-Red wavelength. The incident light on the tissue boundary was absorbed and scattered. The scattered rays are detected by the photo-detector and scattered voltage of the tissue was measured.…

Description of Research Any injury or damage to your brain can result in devastating motor or cognitive lost. The extent of this lost typically depends on the amount of damage caused and the point of injury. After receiving a brain injury, the most severe form of motor disability someone can have is Locked-in syndrome (LIS) (Pistoia et al., 2016). “It is the consequence of ventral brainstem damage as a result of vascular or traumatic lesions disconnecting corticospinal and corticobulbar…

Deveau CJ 521-031 Doctor Siegel November 9, 2014 Genetic Neural Sonar and its Positive Attributes to Society The mapping device known as the Genetic Neural Sonar has been actively tested and used from Yale University Medical School. This device has the capability of locating inherited gene base abnormalities in brain structure and chemistry. This mapping device could and would be used to map the brain genetic structure and determine if an individual has the kind…

Introduction: Head motion is one of the major sources of artifacts in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Head motion is said to cause large spatially varying changes in the signal intensity of the BOLD signal, making it very difficult to separate neuronal activations from the motion artifact. Realignment corrects the changes in brain position, but it does not take into consideration the changes in the image intensity associated with motion. Head Motion, particularly in the direction…

When preparing the cash flow analysis of a medical network, revenue, expenses, and profits must be considered. Revenue is generated by treating patients and rendering services such as an MRI. Costs are created by expenses in the network that include salaries for employees, purchase of medications and supplies, and payment of obligations incurred. Revenue does not necessarily mean that an enterprise is gaining profits and disregard for this detail may result in the network inadvertently,…

The popular science article “You May Be Able to Train Your Brain to Be Fearless” published by The Huffington Post discusses the study “Limbic Activity Modulation Guided by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Inspired Electroencephalography Improves Implicit Emotion Regulation” conducted by Dr. Talma Hendler. I find that the pop science article doesn’t portray the information correctly. It fails to include terminology and key results; specifically, the downsides of the study. The article’s sole…

I. Introduction: The purpose of the case study is to determine which of the patient’s cranial nerve(s) are damaged. The human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory…

The experiment was meant to divide their attention and take note of what and how much was remembered in the end. A total of 178 children and young adults participated in the study; seventy-eight of them were 7-year-olds and forty-eight participants were 11-year-olds who received a present for participating. The remaining fifty-two young adults got class credit. A total of 10 lists were used; five of them had a total of 10 words on each list and all lists were negative, and the other five lists…
