New pub from Susana Marcos in BOE: Single-shot, depth-encoded multiplexed OCT for multi-spot tracking of induced transient corneal dynamics.

Fast, non-repeatable transient mechanical events in soft and scattering media are challenging to quantify because they demand high temporal bandwidth, high displacement sensitivity, and multi-point spatial coverage within a single realization. Current non-contact methods for assessing corneal biomec...

New paper from Krishnan Padmanabhan in eNeuro: Cell density impacts population activity in human iPSC-derived neural networks. https://doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO.0176-24.2026

Multi-electrode recording of neuronal activity in cultures offer opportunities for understanding how the structure of a network gives rise to function. Neuronal cultures derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from male and female individuals are often plated at highly variable cel...

OUT NOW in Biomedical Optics Express: Phase diversity improves retinal image quality in adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy.

The quality of retinal images is compromised by aberrations that remain uncorrected even in confocal adaptive optics imaging. This study demonstrates phase diversity (PD), a computational imaging technique, to address residual aberrations and enhance image quality in adaptive optics scanning laser o...
