TL;DR: A network of spectral EEG activities simultaneously operative at well defined regional fields in the EC state, varying specifically between EC and EO states is depicts, in contrast to transient EEG spectral rhythmic dynamics, current study of long-lasting spectral field powers can characterize state features in EEG.

TL;DR: The LVQ neural network gives the best classification compared with the linear network that uses WH algorithm (the worst), and the non-linear network trained with the LM rule, and it is shown that the automatic recognition algorithm is applicable for distinguishing between alert and drowsy state in recordings that have not been used for the training.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review defines the DMN concept with regard to its neuro-anatomy, its functional organisation through low frequency neuronal oscillations, its relation to other recently discovered low frequency resting state networks, and the cognitive functions it is thought to serve, and introduces methodological and analytical issues and challenges.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: We introduce and clinically examine a new concept of skin treatment called fractional photothermolysis (FP), achieved by applying an array of microscopic treatment zones (MTZ) of thermal injury to the skin. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Two prototype devices emitting at 1.5 mm wavelength provided a pattern of micro-exposures with variable MTZ density. Effects of different MTZ densities were tested on the forearms of 15 subjects. Clinical effects and histology were assessed up to 3 months after exposure. Treatment of photoaged skin on the periorbital area in an additional 30 subjects receiving four treatments over a period of 2–3 weeks was also tested. Tissue shrinkage and clinical effects were assessed up to 3 months after treatment. Results: Pattern densities with spacing of 250 mm or more were well tolerated. Typical MTZ had a diameter of 100 mm and penetrated 300 mm into the skin. Reepithelialization was complete within 1 day. Clinical effects were assessed over a 3-month period. Histology at 3 months revealed enhanced undulating rete ridges and increased mucin deposition within the superficial dermis. Periorbital treatments were well tolerated with minimal erythema and edema. Linear shrinkage of 2.1% was measured 3 months after the last treatment. The wrinkle score improved 18% (P < 0.001) 3 months after the last treatment. Conclusions: FP is a new concept for skin restoration treatment. Safety and efficacy were demonstrated with a prototype device. Further clinical studies are necessary to refine the optimum parameters and to explore further dermatological applications. Lasers Surg.
