Simulation and in vivo investigation of light-emitting diode, near infrared Gaussian beam profiles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Near infrared spectroscopy is an optical imaging technique which offers a non-invasive, portable, and low-cost method for continuously measuring the oxygenation of tissues. In particular, it can provide the brain activation through measuring the blood oxygenation and blood volume in the cortex. Understanding and then improving the spatial and depth sensitivity of near infrared spectroscopy measurements to brain tissue are essential for designing experiments as well as interpreting research findings. In this study, we investigate the effect of applying two common light beam profiles including Uniform and Gaussian on the penetration depth of an LED-based near infrared spectroscopy. In this regard, two Gaussian profiles were produced by adjusting plano-convex and bi-convex lenses and the Uniform profile was provided by applying a flat lens. Two experiments were conducted in this study. First, a simulation experiment was carried out based on scanning the intra space of a liquid phantom by using static and pulsating absorbers to compare the penetration depth of the configurations applied on the LED-based near infrared spectroscopy with that of a laser-based near infrared spectroscopy. Second, to show the feasibility of the best proposed configuration applied, an in vivo experiment of stress assessment has been performed and its results have been compared with that results obtained by laser one. The results showed that the LED-based near infrared spectroscopy equipped with bi-convex lens provides a penetration depth and hence quality measurements of near infrared spectroscopy and its extracted heart rate variability signals as well as laser-based near infrared spectroscopy especially in the application of stress assessment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
