[Data reconstruction algorithm on echo-planar magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging].
When a conventional phase-encoding magnetic resonance spectrascopic imaging(MRSI) method is in use, the data acquisition is very time consuming and thus it is not well accepted in clinical settings. Echo planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) technology has been applied for rapid acquisition of MRSI data. It significantly reduces scan time by simultaneously encoding the spectral dimension and the spatial dimension. ⋯ Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is applied in odd echoes and even echoes respectively and then shift method is used to combine them together. For the kx dimension, the data are unevenly sampled and have to be interpolated onto a Cartesian grid before FFT is applied. For the phase-encoding dimension (ky), the Fourier transform can be readily done with FFT since the data are evenly spaced.

[Experimental study of excitation of peripheral nerves in transverse electric field stimulation].
The classical cable function has been used to represent the response of peripheral nerves stimulated by external parallel electric field. Experiments show that peripheral nerves can be activated by perpendicular electric field induced by magnetic pulses, indicating that the activation mechanism needs to be thoroughly investigated. Several excitation properties of peripheral nerves in transverse-field were explored in the present paper. ⋯ The relation between stimulation threshold and stimulation duration was researched with sciatic nerves from toad in vitro. The experimental results verify that the modified cable function is much efficient than the classical cable function. The research will improve the nerve magnetic stimulating technique and be beneficial to further application.

[Application of independent component analysis to ECG cancellation in surface electromyography measurement].
Surface electromyogram usually incurs severe influence of strong electrocardiography (ECG) signal. This paper presents a novel denoise method using independent component analysis (ICA) to remove the interference of ECG from sEMG recordings. ⋯ The filtering ICA ECG cancellation results were compared with the simulated pure sEMG in time and frequency domain, which suggested that the ICA ECG cancellation with 30Hz high-pass filter would be the most appropriate method to extract the useful sEMG signals from multi-channel sEMG measurement. The kurtosis is used to measure the nongaussianity of signal; it may beused as a standand for automatic determination of the independents of ECG or EMG.

[Determination of optimal complexity for long ECG sequence].
In this article is reported a study on the optimal complexity of the long electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. At first, the original signal sequence was symbolized, then its complexity was calculated by Lempel-Ziv algorithm, and different factors of the complexity were discussed, and three different kinds of ECG signals, i.e., normalcy, angina and myocardial infarction, were studied. The results indicate that the optimal threshold-value to symbolize the original signal and the optimal signal length are two main factors that affect the complexity value, and the optimal complexity value can effectively distinguish normal ECG and patients' ECG.

[The solving and simulation of cable equation under the stimulation of point electrical source].
The character of the membrane of fiber can be simulated by nonpower RC network on condition that the offset of distance between the transmembrane potential of unmyelinated nerve fiber and the resting potential of nerve fiber cell is small enough. Thus, it is possible to found the successive cable equation with external stimulation under subthreshold linear state. ⋯ In this paper are reported the method of integral transform and the analytical expression of cable equation under the stimulation of point electrical source firstly. And at the same time, computer-aided simulation of transmembrane potential of nerve fiber and analysis of the possibility of activating action potential are presented.
