Whole-Brain Big Data Processing Enables VR via Optogenetic Control
Inspired by the data processing techniques used in astronomy, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a big data processing system for neuronal activity. Known as the FX system, it operates in real-time to analyze large-scale, whole-brain neuron activity and facilitate the closed-loop study of brain functions. The FX system also enables whole-brain, optical interface-mediated virtual reality.

Memory Element Enhances a Human Sight-Mimicking Quantum System
Collaborating researchers from Hong Kong, China, and Germany have developed a quantum sensing technology that encodes changes in fluorescence intensity into spikes that occur during optically detected magnetic resonance measurements. The image capture technology uses a neuromorphic vision sensor designed to mimic the human vision system.

Optical Filters: Application and Design Considerations
Tue, Apr 23, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Optical filters can discretely transmit or reject specific wavelengths or ranges of wavelengths of light. Utilizing this capability in photonics-based instruments creates the need for a better understanding of optical filter design considerations and how specifications influence performance and cost. Craig Hanson of MKS/Newport discusses the fundamental principles of optical coatings and filter types and explains the significance of filter parameters and the benefits of design review. He also explores accessory options and subsystem integration. Next Hanson unveils MKS’s unique manufacturing processes and capabilities for custom optical filters from prototype to high-volume production. Finally, this presentation concludes with an open Q&A, for which Hanson is joined by Mark Roberts, principal thin-film engineer at Newport. Presented by MKS Newport.
