Sentences with phrase «measures oxygenation»

The researchers used functional near - infrared spectroscopy, a technology that measures oxygenation in regions of the brain using light, to assess the babies» brain activity.

In fact, there is a field of imaging called Photo - Acoustic Imaging (PAI) that uses short, low energy pulses to image tissue and even measure oxygenation differences.

Not exact matches

Imaging scans show the brain shifts its activity (measured by blood flow and oxygenation, indicating which neurons are heavily used at a specific time) from the prefrontal executive control regions to subcortical reactive emotion areas.

Participants were observed, and brain responses to food and non-food aromas were measured using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response via fMRI scans.

fMRI measures changes in blood oxygenation, which were previously thought to be too slow to detect the subtle neuronal activity associated with higher order brain functions.

Some at the workshop hope to adapt ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging techniques now used to study the heart and brain to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the placenta.

Researchers at the Lifelong Brain and Cognition Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois have utilized the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities available in Beckman's Biomedical Imaging Center to measure the moment - to - moment variability in brain activity, more specifically in the blood oxygenation level - dependent (BOLD) signal.

Recent studies that used the conventional blood oxygenation level — dependent fMRI have shown selective overactivity in the nucleus accumbens and related brain areas in obese compared with lean individuals when shown imagines of highly palatable food (6 — 11) and in subjects who scored high on a measure of food addiction (39).

Next we move to the idea of flooding, and the encouragement for therapists to measure heart - rate and blood oxygenation levels in clients.
