25
How does fMRI work? (5)
* Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast fMRI *Increase brain activity—increase deoxyhemoglobin—increase blood flow (2-6 seconds later), surplus *Deoxyhemoglobin has a greater magnetic susceptibility *MRI signal represents the ratio that indicates brain activity *T2-weighted image for quicker imaging (better temporal resolution)
26
How does PET work?
Radioactive material is injected into blood, and stronger signals from areas with high blood flow
27
What are the limitations of fMRI in imagess related to hearing tasks? (3)
1. Limitation by the huge scanner noise (>100 dB SPL). 2. Limited by temporal resolution 3. Methods to reduce the impact of background noise
28
What is the purpose of the Resting-status fMRI (rs-fMRI)?
To overcome the difficulties from the image related to the hearing task we developed the Resting-status fMRI (rs-fMRI)
29
What are the 3 steps in Resting-status fMRI (rs-fMRI)?
Look for the low-frequency vibration of BOLD Calculate correlation across different regions Strong correlation represents strong connectivity (functional connectivity)
30
What are the advantages of MAGNETOENCEPHALOGRAPHY? (2)
High-time resolution (comparable to EEG, >>MRI/PET/CT Better spatial resolution than EEG/EP
31
What is MAGNETOENCEPHALOGRAPHY?
Measures the magnetic field produced by electrophysiological responses
32
Provide safety comparison between methods.
* Effective ionizing radiation for a PET test is 14 micro-Sievert (mSv)—the allowed dose for one year * 0.02 mSv for a chest x-ray * 6.5-8 mSv for a chest CT scan. * 23-36 mSv for a PET-CT scan MRI is generally safe
33
How does fluorescence microscopy work?
Fluorescent dyes made highly selective to a molecule of interest (DNR/RNA, protein, lipid), diff. colors for different molecules Illuminated by light of a specific wavelength, in visible wavelengths (390-700 nm) Absorption of the light by fluorophores, jumping to a high-energy state, emitting light when returning back The emitted light is different from that of the illumination The emitted light is separated from the illumination by an emission filter and dichroic beamsplitter
34
What are the visible wavelengths in Fluorescence microscopy?
390-700 nm
35
What is laser confocal scanning microscopy (LCSM)/Confocal microscopy?
Wide-field fluorescence microscopes have poor resolution due to the emitted light from unfocused background In LCSM, only one point is illuminated at a time, and a pinhole is used to block further from the unwanted area, to increase the resolution
36
What are the limitations of LCSM?
* Visible light is largely SCATTERED AND ABSORBED before it reaches a deep target * Limited the depth upon which the observation can be done. Limited the use in vivo. Advantage of 2 photon Allows visualization of living tissue at depths
37
How does 2-photon imaging works?
Photon absorptions excite a molecule to higher energy state (similar to any fluorescent microscopy. Instead of using laser in visible range, 2-photon microscopes use infrared light to reduce absorption and scattering The 2-photons are applied within 1 femtosecond of each other (10-15 seconds) so to add together. In this way, the two photons, each with wavelength of 400-500 nm, make the wavelength of excitation to be 800-1000 nm (infrared). However, only one photon will release energy at a time, so to present visible light Better focus (no out-of-focus light)
38
What are the methods of psychological evaluation? (6)
Classical methods of limit Method of constant stimuli Method of adjustment Adaptive procedure and derived Two-interval forced choice Scales of measurement
39
How does the method of limit work? (6)
40
What determines the threshold in the method of limit?
At each run, the turning point is identified. The average of reversals is the threshold.
41
How do we identify the differential Limen using the method of limit?
There are two reversal points in each series, the range between which (equals) suggests uncertainty. Reversal points: Louder Equal and then Equal soft
42
What are the limitations or biases due to guessing? (3)
Anticipation Habituation time-consuming
43
How does the method of Constant Stimuli work? (5)
44
What is an advantage of the method of Constant stimuli?
Advantage: avoid bias from guessing (no anticipation)
45
What is the criterion for the threshold in the psychometric function?
50% corresponds to the middle point in the psychometric function. The threshold is determined statistically and is defined in the linear, dynamic range of the psychometric function.
46
What is important about this graph?
At the 10 and 11 dB stimulus levels, responses were at 100 %, and at 4 and 5 dB responses were 0%. This is shown in the graph. Table 7.1 states that 50% response level occurs between 7 dB and 8 dB (because the performance is 70% at 8 dB and 34% at 7 dB).
47
In the psychometric function, the_____________________________, the more __________________________
Step size and accurate estimation (the smaller the steps, the more accurate the estimation)
48
Method of Constant Stimuli can be used for _____________________
Differential limen
49
____ correct as the threshold for differential limen (DL) in the Method of constant stimuli.
75%
50
How does the method of adjustment work?
51
In the method of adjustment, there is a perseveration of response or persistence of the stimulus:_______________________________________________________________________________________
a lower threshold is obtained on a descending run and a higher threshold is reached in an ascending run.
52
What is an adaptative procedure?
The stimulus presented depends on the previous response Make changes around the threshold (target), not far away More efficient method because (1) close to the target (2) no need for estimation of the target (3) the adjustable step size leads to more precision Many alternative procedures in practice: e.g. modified method of limit by an adaptive procedure
53
What method is more used in our clinic?
Up-Down or staircase method
54
What does this technique show?
Parameter estimation by sequential testing (PEST) adaptive changes in both direction and step size
55
How does the method of tracking work (example of the adaptative method)?
The subject controls the stimuli but only the direction (ascending or descending) (i.e if detected turn it down, if not detected turn it up) Fixed-rate of change Bekesy Audiometry
56
How does Bekesy tracking work?
Both frequency and intensity are changed Tester controls only the direction of intensity change When the sound is audible, tune it down, not audible, tune it up Frequency is changed at a fixed rate Two different trials with (1) continuous tone, (2) pulsed tone Diagnosis mainly based upon the difference between the two trials
57
In Bekesy trackin, Type l have more chances to be seen in______________________
Normal or conductive
58
In Bekesy tracking, type ll had more chances to be seen in ____________________
Cochlear HL
59
In Bekesy tracking, type lll and lV have more chances to be seen in _________________________.
retro-cochlear HL
60
What is the Two Alternative/Interval Forced (TAFC) Choice?
In any test in which the subject can make a “correct” response by guessing, the chance of guessing can’t be used as a threshold. Compare standard tone and probe tone or other alternative comparisons (e.g., one interval has noise, the other has noise + signal) The threshold must be 75% or higher Response modification Calculate mean Variations in procedure regarding this method
61
What would the % threshold be if 3IFC?
If it is 3 intervals, forced choice, the % correctness from guessing is 33% and the criterion for threshold can be 50%
62
What are 4 types of scale measurements?
Nominal scales Ordinal scales Interval scales Ratio scales
63
Nominal scales: (3)
* The least restrictive * Assign observations to groups Ex: male-female, normal-hearing impaired * No ordering
64
Ordinal scales (2):
*Rank order of observations (1st, 2nd, etc) * Does not define the size of the difference between the categories
65
Interval scales (2):
specify order and distance Ordered metric scale
66
Ratio scales: (2)
* define distance in ratio instead of absolute unit * understand “true zero point”—not actually zero, otherwise the ratio will be indefinitely large (e.g. sound level)
67
Explain Direct Scaling:
* Ratio Estimation (how many times louder) and Production (make the sound 2 times louder) * Magnitude Estimation (assign a number to a given sound) and Production (match a sound to a given number) * Cross-Modality Matching
68
What does this graph show?
Estimation with reference to other sti Modulus can be removed: Absolute magnitude estimation (AME
69
Explain magnitude:
The reverse of magnitude estimation Subject makes sound level based upon the number that is given Can be done with and without modulus (absolute magnitude production (AMP) Subject bias: tend not to assign extreme values in magnitude estimation, but to make extreme level adjustments in magnitude production
70
What does this graph demonstrate?
Estimation/production without reference to modulus and other stimuli Note: Bias and balancing procedure (PMB—psychological magnitude balance)
71

74
What are biases in the method of adjustment proclivity? (2)
Persistence of the stimulus, or perseveration of the response
75
What are 4 Yes-No possible response outcomes?
Hit Correct Rejection Miss False Alarm
76
Hit = Miss = False alarm = Correct rejection =
Hit = true failed (TF) Miss = false pass (FP) False alarm = false failed (FF) Correct rejection = true pass (TP)
77
High sensitivity is critical for ______________________________ High specificity is critical for _______________________
High sensitivity is critical for a screening tool High specificity is critical for terminal diagnosis tool
78
Assumptions of Theory of signal detection (TSD):] Noise exists: Function: Decision:
Noise exists: external and internal Function: Function changes Decision: noise alone (N) or signal-plus-noise (SN) Decision axis Or magnitude of sensory activation Probability
79
What is important about this graph?
Larger the separation between N and SN, and the smaller the σ, the bigger the d’—the measure of sensitivity (Noise = N SN= Signal + Noise)
80
Why are clear instructions important during the testing of anomalies?
