SONIA: an immersive customizable virtual reality system for the education and exploration of brain networks
While mastery of neuroanatomy is important for the investigation of the
brain, there is an increasing interest in exploring the neural pathways to
better understand the roles of neural circuitry in brain functions. To tackle
the limitations of traditional 2D-display-based neuronavigation software in
intuitively visualizing complex 3D anatomies, several virtual reality (VR) and
augmented reality (AR) solutions have been proposed to facilitate
neuroanatomical education. However, with the increasing knowledge on brain
connectivity and the functioning of the sub-systems, there is still a lack of
similar software solutions for the education and exploration of these topics,
which demand more elaborate visualization and interaction strategies. To
address this gap, we designed the immerSive custOmizable Neuro learnIng plAform
(SONIA), a novel user-friendly VR software system with a multi-scale
interaction paradigm that allows flexible customization of learning materials.
With both quantitative and qualitative evaluations through user studies, the
proposed system is shown to have high usability, attractive visual design, and
good educational value. As the first immersive system that integrates
customizable design and detailed narratives of the brain sub-systems for the
education of neuroanatomy and brain connectivity, SONIA showcases new potential
directions and provides valuable insights regarding medical learning and
exploration in VR

Smart Sensors for Healthcare and Medical Applications
This book focuses on new sensing technologies, measurement techniques, and their applications in medicine and healthcare. Specifically, the book briefly describes the potential of smart sensors in the aforementioned applications, collecting 24 articles selected and published in the Special Issue “Smart Sensors for Healthcare and Medical Applications”. We proposed this topic, being aware of the pivotal role that smart sensors can play in the improvement of healthcare services in both acute and chronic conditions as well as in prevention for a healthy life and active aging. The articles selected in this book cover a variety of topics related to the design, validation, and application of smart sensors to healthcare
Atrial Septal Defect
Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are relatively common both in children and adults. Recent reports of increase in the prevalence of ASD may be related use of color Doppler echocardiography. The etiology of the ASD is largely unknown. While the majority of the book addresses closure of ASDs, one chapter in particular focuses on creating atrial defects in the fetus with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This book, I hope, will give the needed knowledge to the physician caring for infants, children, adults and elderly with ASD which may help them provide best possible care for their patients
