A synchrotron X-ray imaging strategy to map large animal brains

Giorgio Margaritondo, Ying Chen

Mapping the large neural networks of animal and human brains is a fundamental but so far elusive task, because of the massive amount of data and the consequent prohibitively long image taking and processing times. We developed an effective strategy called ...

Convex Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Jie Chen

Combining diffusion strategies with complementary properties enables enhanced performance when they can be run simultaneously. In this article, we first propose two schemes for the convex combination of two diffusion strategies, namely, the power-normalize ...
