Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining brain wave data using a microelectrode array, comprising a plurality of electrodes for electrically measuring brain waves and an integrated optical stimulation unit for stimulating brain regions by means of optical signals, wherein the stimulation unit has one or more electrical light sources, and wherein the method includes stimulating neurons of the brain via optical signals produced by the light sources, recording a response of the neurons to the stimulation via the electrodes, unambiguously assigning the recorded response to individual optical stimulation signals provided by the light source, and determining an unambiguous correlation between the optical stimulation signals and resulting brain waves measured by the electrodes.

Abstract: A first plurality of images of a scene may be captured. Each image of the first plurality of images may be captured using a different TET. Based at least on the first plurality of images, a long TET, a short TET, and a TET sequence that includes the long TET and the short TET may be determined. A second plurality of images of the scene may be captured. The images in the second plurality of images may be captured sequentially in an image sequence using a sequence of TETs corresponding to the TET sequence. Based on one or more images in the image sequence, an output image may be constructed.

Abstract: The position calculation of prior art position sensitive detector systems relies on a known geometry pattern of individual electrodes and the distribution of the charge parts. A heuristic estimation is made in order to calculate an initial coordinate of irradiation. In contrast, the present invention allows one to calculate the position of an incident particle in terms of direct mapping of the measured detector response into position coordinates detector surface. The device for estimating the space coordinates of an irradiation position onto a detector comprises a position sensitive detector; an irradiation source; means for measuring the response of detector generated upon irradiation by irradiation source; and an artificial neural network structure provided such that the measured detector response is the input to the artificial neural network structure and the initial space coordinates of irradiation are the output of the artificial neural network structure.
