Calcium imaging with genetically encoded indicators in behaving primates by Eyal Seidemann, Yuzhi Chen, Yoon Bai, Spencer C Chen, Preeti Mehta, Bridget L Kajs, Wilson S Geisler, Boris V Zemelman

“…To determine the quantitative relation between the widefield GCaMP signals and the locally pooled spiking activity, we developed a computational model that sums the responses of V1 neurons characterized by prior single unit measurements. The measured tuning properties of the GCaMP signals to stimulus contrast, orientation and spatial position closely match the predictions of the model, suggesting that widefield GCaMP signals are linearly related to the summed local spiking activity.…”

Studying femtosecond-laser hyperdoping by controlling surface morphology by Winkler, Mark T., Sher, Meng-Ju, Lin, Yu-Ting, Smith, Matthew J., Zhang, Haifei, Mazur, Eric, Gradecak, Silvija

“…We use a single fs-laser pulse to dope silicon with sulfur, enabling quantitative secondary ion mass spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and Hall effect measurements. These measurements indicate that at laser fluences at or above 4 kJ m[superscript −2], a single laser pulse yields a sulfur dose >(3 ± 1) × 10[superscript 13] cm[superscript −2] and results in a 45-nm thick amorphous surface layer. …”
