Circadian phase resetting via single and multiple control targets. by Neda Bagheri, Jörg Stelling, Francis J Doyle

“…To date, light is widely accepted to be the most powerful circadian synchronizer, motivating its use as a key control input for phase resetting. Through sensitivity analysis, we identify additional control targets whose individual and simultaneous manipulation (via a model predictive control algorithm) out-perform the open-loop light-based phase recovery dynamics by nearly 3-fold. …”

Computational sensitivity evaluation of ultrasound neuromodulation resolution to brain tissue sound speed with robust beamforming by Boqiang Fan, Wayne Goodman, Sameer A. Sheth, Richard R. Bouchard, Behnaam Aazhang

“…Simulation in a human head model validates the effectiveness of the proposed propagation estimation model, and shows that ROR beamforming method can significantly reduce the worst-case OTAA compared to benchmark methods by $$78.0 \%$$ on average and up to $$90.0 \%$$ , improving the robustness of stimulation and addressing the sensitivity issue. This allows reliable high-resolution neuromodulation in potential clinical applications with reduced invasive acquisition of propagation measurements for focusing optimization.…”
