pathology by exposing non-ionizing, non-invasive light through a biological sample and observing how its properties change. From this new knowledge and these discoveries, we can develop useful techniques to advance neuroscience and medicine,\u201d explains Biomedical Physics Professor <strong>Ozzy Mermut<\/strong> of York\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faculty of Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the week, students collected and analyzed their own brain activity data, applying principles from physics, biology and chemistry to understand how light interacts with the vascular system in the body. Experiments using the NIRSport 2 had students measuring cortical signals corresponding to the flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood as they performed different tasks and clinical exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will analyze their research data by applying core principles of light-matter interaction, examining how hemoglobin \u2013 the protein that carries oxygen in blood \u2013 absorbs light differently depending on its oxygen levels, says Mermut, who holds the York Research Chair in Vision Biophotonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this experiential learning opportunity, students will hear from an expert in this field from NIRx Medical Technologies in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis partnership will uniquely provide students with opportunities to bridge the gap between classroom learning and clinical research,\u201d says Mermut. \u201c快播视频 is preparing students for the cutting-edge of medical science and useful methods for 快播视频\u2019s School
