Abstract

The Web provides a rapid prototyping environment for building platform-independent graphical user interfaces. A Web-based console can be implemented as a suite of CGI scripts that generate HTML code, manipulate files, execute system commands, and invoke external tools. Often these tools share data by reading and writing flat files, which must be explicitly maintained by the CGI programmer. In a repository system, meta-data about each file object are maintained in a database, and access to all data is regulated by a layer of control services. This paper describes the design and implementation of a Web-based Repository Manager (WRM), which provides an application programmer's interface for controlling applications, generating HTML documents, handling Web forms, and managing multi-media data. The WRM is being used to develop a console for the Brain Mapping Framework, a system for visualizing cortical stimulation data obtained during neurosurgery.

Neural substrates for depth perception of the Necker cube; a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in human subjects.

We have studied the cerebral activity for the depth perception of the Necker cube by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Three types of line drawing figures were used as stimuli, the Necker cube, hidden line elimination cube and overlapping squares. Subjects were instructed to perceive both orientations of the depth of the Necker cube. They were instructed to shift their attention voluntarily during viewing overlapping squares to obtain a control for the attentional shift in perceiving the Necker cube. A hidden line elimination cube was used as a control for monocular stereopsis. The results showed a clear symmetrical activation in premotor and parietal areas during the Necker cube perception compared with other conditions. The present result suggests that a neural process similar to mental image manipulation occurs during depth perception of the Necker cube.

Sensory-specific satiety-related olfactory activation of the human orbitofrontal cortex.

When a food is eaten to satiety, its reward value decreases. This decrease is usually greater for the food eaten to satiety than for other foods, an effect termed sensory-specific satiety. In an fMRI investigation it was shown that for a region of the orbitofrontal cortex the activation produced by the odour of the food eaten to satiety decreased, whereas there was no similar decrease for the odour of a food not eaten in the meal. This effect was shown both by a voxel-wise SPM contrast (p<0.05 corrected) and an ANOVA performed on the mean percentage change in BOLD signal in the identified clusters of voxels (p<0.006). These results show that activation of a region of the human orbitofrontal cortex is related to olfactory sensory-specific satiety.
