Signal Processing And Instrumentation Section

信号处理和仪器科（SPIS）的研究和开发活动是与美国国立卫生研究院科学家的合作努力，并经常导致独特的，专门的生物医学仪器的开发。其他项目涉及系统仿真和信号分析所需的信号和视频处理算法开发。SPIS的能力和成就使该小组成为美国国立卫生研究院这类工程研究和技术开发的焦点。技术发展和项目的例子包括：

The research and development activities of the Signal Processing and Instrumentation Section (SPIS) are collaborative efforts with NIH Institute scientists, and often result in the development of unique, specialized biomedical instruments. Other projects involve signal and video processing algorithm development required for system simulation and signal analysis. SPIS capabilities and accomplishments have established the group as the focal point for this type of engineering research and technology development at the NIH. Example technology developments and projects include: * cDNA and protein microarray * tissue microarray (TMA) * laser capture microdissection (LCM) * expression microdissection (xMD) * chromosome microdissection * microfluidics, microfabrication, and microanalysis * single molecule, DNA, and chromatin fiber mechanics and manipulation * high-speed scanning spectrometry * atomic force microscopy (AFM) * electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging * magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) methodologies and devices * magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) imaging * ultrasound imaging * positron emission tomography (PET) imaging * gamma camera imaging * fluorescence imaging * two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy (TPEFM) * speech acquisition and real-time adaptive processing * biomechanics real-time gait analysis * neuro-specific nociceptive assay for mouse pain studies * nonhuman primate maternal-fetal monitoring * automated mouse activity monitoring system (MAMS) * pathology tissue processing methodologies * spectrally programmable lighting for health and rhythm entrainment
