Observation of magnetic Feshbach resonances between Cs and 173Yb

We report the observation of magnetic Feshbach resonances between 173 Yb and 133 Cs . In a mixture of Cs atoms prepared in the ( f = 3 , m f = 3 ) state and unpolarized fermionic 173 Yb , we observe resonant atom loss due to two sets of magnetic Feshbach resonances around 622 and 702 G. Resonances for individual Yb nuclear spin components m i , Yb are split by its interaction with the Cs electronic spin, which also provides the main coupling mechanism for the observed resonances. The observed splittings and relative resonance strengths are in good agreement with theoretical predictions from coupled-channel calculations

Neuropsychological Assessment Using Virtual Environments: Enhanced Assessment Technology for Improved Ecological Validity

Abstract. Although today’s neuropsychological assessment procedures are widely used, neuropsychologists have been slow to embrace technological advancements. Two essential limitations have resulted from this refusal of techno-logical adaptation: First, current neuropsychological assessment procedures repre-sent a technology that has barely changed since the first scales were developed in the early 1900s. Second, while the historical purpose of clinical neuropsychology was differential diagnosis of brain pathology, technological advances in other clinical neurosciences have changed the neuropsychologist’s role to that of mak-ing ecologically valid predictions about the impact of a given patient’s neurocog-nitive abilities and disabilities on everyday functioning. After a brief discussion of current applications of computer-based neuropsychological assessment, there is a discussion of an increasingly important topic in recent decades—the design of ecologically valid neuropsychological instruments to address real world out-comes. Finally, there is an exploration of virtual reality environments for ecologi-cally valid neuropsychological assessments that make use of current technological advances. It is concluded that a future possible virtual reality-based neuropsy-chological assessment battery will combine the control and rigor of technologi-cally advanced computerized laboratory measures, the psychometric rigor (i.e., veridicality) of traditional paper-and-pencil assessments, and verisimilitude ap-proximating real life situations.
