It is well-established that vibrotactile stimulations elicit Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) responses in somatotopically organized brain regions. Whether these somatotopic maps are modulated by working memory (WM) is still unknown. In our WM experiment, participants had to compare frequencies that were separated by a delay period. Vibrotactile stimuli were sequentially applied to either their right index or little finger. Using functional MRI, we investigated whether vibrotactile WM modulated neural activity in primary somatosensory (S1), an area that is known to contain individual finger representations. Our mass-univariate results revealed the well-described network of brain regions involved in WM. Interestingly, our mass-univariate results did not demonstrate S1 to be part of this network. However, when we parametrically modulated the time-binned regressors in our GLM we found that the delay activity in S1 and secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) was reflected in a U-shaped manner. Using multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA), an analysis technique that is more sensitive to subtle activity differences, we found finger-specific patterns of activation in the S1 hand area during the WM delay period. These results indicate that processes underlying WM modulate finger-specific representations during our discrimination task.

Abstract Neurodevelopmental disabilities are the most common noncardiac conditions in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Executive function skills have been frequently observed to be decreased among children and adults with CHD compared with peers, but a neuroanatomical basis for the association is yet to be identified. In this study, we quantified sulcal pattern features from brain magnetic resonance imaging data obtained during adolescence among 41 participants with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and 49 control participants using a graph-based pattern analysis technique. Among patients with ToF, right-hemispheric sulcal pattern similarity to the control group was decreased (0.7514 vs. 0.7553, P = 0.01) and positively correlated with neuropsychological testing values including executive function (r = 0.48, P < 0.001). Together these findings suggest that sulcal pattern analysis may be a useful marker of neurodevelopmental risk in patients with CHD. Further studies may elucidate the mechanisms leading to different alterations in sulcal patterning.

The Contact Pattern Analysis technique was used to determine the actual distribution of load among rollers, misalignment, and roller edge loading effects in cylindrical roller bearings in a commercial gear train. In all the bearings in the system, the summation of the vertical components of individual roll body loads determined from Contact Pattern Analysis agreed well with the total load imposed on the bearing by the system, thereby demonstrating the practicability and accuracy of the technique. In a few cases the load distribution among rollers in the bearing and, in one case, the number of rollers loaded, were found to be far from ideal. Similarly, it was found that the direction of the bearing reaction differed significantly from the applied load direction. The misalignment as calculated from the contacts was .003 to .005 mm/mm. Also, evidence of contact truncation and roller edge loading at peak torque loads were found. Thus this systems approach, utilizing the Contact Pattern Analysis technique revealed several anomalies that suggest adjusting system parameters, such as housing stiffness and/or roller crown, to improve bearing reliability and performance. This could not have been done by any other known analytical technique.
