Schemas

12.2K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Nonconscious Mimicry

Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.

Neuroplasticity

1.4K
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.7K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Parallel Processing01:20

Parallel Processing

561
The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

Summary

Dynamic shim updating (DSU) improves magnetic field homogeneity in brain imaging. This advanced system rapidly adjusts shims, enhancing image quality and reducing artifacts, especially in complex multi-slice and oblique geometries.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Neuroimaging
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Static magnetic field homogeneity is crucial for high-quality MRI.
  • Achieving homogeneity over extended volumes, especially in multi-slice protocols, remains a challenge.
  • Dynamic shim updating offers a potential solution to improve field uniformity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and apply a pre-emphasized dynamic shim updating (DSU) system for high-field multi-slice brain imaging.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of DSU in improving magnetic field homogeneity.
  • To assess the impact of DSU on image quality and artifact reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a dynamic shim updating (DSU) system for rapid adjustment of zeroth- through second-order shims.
  • Application of DSU in both non-oblique and oblique slicing geometries for human brain imaging.
  • Quantification of magnetic field homogeneity using image-based magnetic-field maps and comparison with static shimming.

Main Results:

  • DSU significantly improved magnetic field homogeneity across extended volumes compared to static global shimming.
  • The system demonstrated effectiveness in both non-oblique and oblique slicing geometries.
  • DSU contributed to the reduction of susceptibility artifacts in single-shot axial-sliced EPI.

Conclusions:

  • The presented DSU system is effective for enhancing magnetic field homogeneity in high-field multi-slice brain MRI.
  • DSU offers a valuable method for improving image quality and reducing artifacts, particularly in challenging imaging scenarios.
  • The findings support the broader application of dynamic shimming techniques in advanced MRI protocols.
