RÉSUMÉ
Simultaneous recording of electroencephalogram (EEG)-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) plays an important role in scientific research and clinical field due to its high spatial and temporal resolution. However, the fusion results are seriously influenced by ballistocardiogram (BCG) artifacts under MRI environment. In this paper, we improve the off-line constrained independent components analysis using real-time technique (rt-cICA), which is applied to the simulated and real resting-state EEG data. The results show that for simulated data analysis, the value of error in signal amplitude (Er) obtained by rt-cICA method was obviously lower than the traditional methods such as average artifact subtraction ( <0.005). In real EEG data analysis, the improvement of normalized power spectrum (INPS) calculated by rt-cICA method was much higher than other methods ( <0.005). In conclusion, the novel method proposed by this paper lays the technical foundation for further research on the fusion model of EEG-fMRI.
RÉSUMÉ
Soil particles are very heterogeneous in microscopic scale, which is manifested the double-layer structure made of the soil organic matter and mineral matter. In this work, Fourier by transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy ( FTIR-PAS) combined with independent component analysis ( ICA) was utilized for in situ depth-profiling of the manmade complex film, in order to lay a foundation of in situ characterizing the heterogeneous soil organic-mineral complex. The complex film was composed of the PE preservative film and office adhesive tape. The moving velocity of infrared photoacoustic spectrometer was set to 0. 16 cm/s, 0. 32 cm/s and 0. 64 cm/s, respectively. Independent component analysis ( ICA ) was performed on the photoacoustic spectra of the heterogeneous complex film. Results showed that the depth-resolved information of the complex film could be derived by changing the moving velocity, and the estimated thickness of PE film was 5. 4-7. 6 μm, which was close to the actual thickness 7 ± 1 μm. Moverover, the spectral features of the polyethylene ( PE) preservative film and office adhesive tape were extracted from the photoacoustic spectra of the heterogeneous complex film by means of ICA. Depth profiling of complex film samples showed that FTIR-PAS could be used as a new analytical tool to study heterogeneous soils, especially soil organic-mineral complexes.
