Open AccessThe effects of locomotion on sensory-evoked haemodynamic responses in the cortex of awake mice
Investigating neurovascular coupling in awake rodents is becoming ever more popular due, in part, to our increasing knowledge of the profound impacts that anaesthesia can have upon brain physiology. Although a...

Open AccessEnhanced Cerebral Blood Volume under Normobaric Hyperoxia in the J20-hAPP Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Early impairments to neurovascular coupling have been proposed to be a key pathogenic factor in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Studies have shown impaired neurovascular function in seve...

A Bioinspired Approach to Vision
This paper describes the design of a computational vision framework inspired by the cortices of the brain. The proposed framework carries out visual saliency and provides pathways through which object segmenta...

Open AccessCorrection: Corrigendum: Comparison of stimulus-evoked cerebral hemodynamics in the awake mouse and under a novel anesthetic regime
Neural activity is closely followed by a localised change in cerebral blood flow, a process termed neurovascular coupling. These hemodynamic changes form the basis of contrast in functional magnetic resonance ...

A Top-Down Approach for a Synthetic Autobiographical Memory System
Autobiographical memory (AM) refers to the organisation of one’s experience into a coherent narrative. The exact neural mechanisms responsible for the manifestation of AM in humans are unknown. On the other ha...

ROBO-GUIDE: Towards Safe, Reliable, Trustworthy, and Natural Behaviours in Robotic Assistants
In this paper we describe a novel scenario, whereby an assistive robot is required to use a lift, and results from a preliminary investigation into floor determination using readily-available information. The ...

Help! I Can’t Reach the Buttons: Facilitating Hel** Behaviors Towards Robots
Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) research is often built around the premise that the robot is serving to assist a human in achieving a human-led goal or shared task. However, there are many circumstances during H...

Simultaneous Functional Magnetic Resonance and Two-Dimensional Optical Imaging Spectroscopy
The blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal is a biophysical consequence of the hemodynamic response to neuronal activity. Intrinsic optical imaging spectrosco...
