In-vivo high-resolution χ-separation at 7T by Jiye Kim, Minjun Kim, Sooyeon Ji, Kyeongseon Min, Hwihun Jeong, Hyeong-Geol Shin, Chungseok Oh, Robert J. Fox, Ken E. Sakaie, Mark J. Lowe, Se-Hong Oh, Sina Straub, Seong-Gi Kim, Jongho Lee

“…A recently introduced quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) technique, χ-separation, offers the capability to separate paramagnetic (χpara) and diamagnetic (χdia) susceptibility distribution within the brain. In-vivo high-resolution mapping of iron and myelin distribution, estimated by χ-separation, could provide a deeper understanding of brain substructures, assisting the investigation of their functions and alterations. …”

Harnessing the Multi-Phasal Nature of Speech-EEG for Enhancing Imagined Speech Recognition by Rini Sharon, Mriganka Sur, Hema Murthy

“…Analyzing speech-electroencephalogram (EEG) is pivotal for developing non-invasive and naturalistic brain-computer interfaces. Recognizing that the nature of human communication involves multiple phases like audition, imagination, articulation, and production, this study uncovers the shared cognitive imprints that represent speech cognition across these phases. …”
