Reference layer artefact subtraction (RLAS): A novel method of minimizing EEG artefacts during simultaneous fMRI (2013)
Journal Article
Chowdhury, M. E., Mullinger, K. J., Glover, P., & Bowtell, R. W. (2014). Reference layer artefact subtraction (RLAS): A novel method of minimizing EEG artefacts during simultaneous fMRI. NeuroImage, 84, 307-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.08.039

Large artefacts compromise EEG data quality during simultaneous fMRI. These artefact voltages pose heavy demands on the bandwidth and dynamic range of EEG amplifiers and mean that even small fractional variations in the artefact voltages give rise to...

Poststimulus undershoots in cerebral blood flow and BOLD fMRI responses are modulated by poststimulus neuronal activity (2013)
Journal Article
Mullinger, K. J., Mayhew, S. D., Bagshaw, A. P., Bowtell, R., & Francis, S. T. (2013). Poststimulus undershoots in cerebral blood flow and BOLD fMRI responses are modulated by poststimulus neuronal activity. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(33), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1221287110

fMRI is the foremost technique for noninvasive measurement of human brain function. However, its utility is limited by an incomplete understanding of the relationship between neuronal activity and the hemodynamic response. Though the primary peak of...

Adiabatic and isocurvature perturbation projections in multi-field inflation (2013)
Journal Article
Gordon, C., & Saffin, P. M. (2013). Adiabatic and isocurvature perturbation projections in multi-field inflation. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2013(8), Article 021. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2013/08/021

Current data are in good agreement with the predictions of single field inflation. However, the hemispherical asymmetry seen in the cosmic microwave background data, may hint at a potential problem. Generalizing to multi-field models may provide one... Read More about Adiabatic and isocurvature perturbation projections in multi-field inflation.

Comparative study of in situ N2 rotational Raman spectroscopy methods for probing energy thermalisation processes during spin-exchange optical pumping (2013)
Journal Article
Newton, H., Walkup, L. L., Whiting, N., West, L., Carriere, J., Havermeyer, F., Ho, L., Morris, P., Goodson, B. M., & Barlow, M. J. (2014). Comparative study of in situ N2 rotational Raman spectroscopy methods for probing energy thermalisation processes during spin-exchange optical pumping.

Spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) has been widely used to produce enhancements in nuclear spin polarisation for hyperpolarised noble gases. However, some key fundamental physical processes underlying SEOP remain poorly understood, particularly in...

Driven primarily by scientific curiosity, but also by the potential applications of intense sources of coherent sound, researchers have targeted the phonon laser (saser) since the invention of the optical laser over 50 years ago. Here we fabricate a... Read More about Dynamics of a vertical cavity quantum cascade phonon laser structure.

Duality and decay of macroscopic F-strings (2013)
Journal Article

We study the decay of fundamental string loops of arbitrary size L/min(n,m)≫√α′, labeled by (n, m; λn, ¯λm), where n, m correspond to left- and right-mover harmonics and λn, ¯λm to polarization tensors, and find that a description in terms of the rec...
