The concept is as follows Each visual field location is stimulated with a stimulus physiology stimulus sequence that is correlation uncorrelated to the sequences used for the other locations. All visual field locations are stimulated in parallel with their individual stimulus sequence. The retinal or cortical activity, which is a mixture of the responses from all visual field locations, is recorded with usual electroretinographic or visual evoked potential methods, respectively. Due to the independence of the stimulus sequences, the responses for each visual field location can be extracted using mathematical algorithms.

Multifocal motor neuropathy MMN is a progressively worsening condition where muscles in the extremities gradually weaken. The disorder, a pure motor neuropathy syndrome, is sometimes mistaken for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS because of the similarity in the clinical picture, especially if muscle fasciculations are present. Unlike ALS, MMN is usually asymmetric. MMN is thought to be autoimmune. It was first described in the mid 1980s ref cite journal last Roth first G coauthors Rohr J, Magistris MR, Ochsner F title Motor neuropathy with proximal multifocal persistent conduction block, fasciculations and myokymia. Evolution to tetraplegia. journal Eur Neurol year 1986 volume 25 pages 416 423 ref . Unlike ALS which affects both upper and lower motor nerves, MMN involves only lower motor nerves. Nevertheless, definitive diagnosis is often difficult, and many MMN patients labor for months or years under an ALS diagnosis before finally getting a determination of MMN. While MMN usually involves no pain except for muscle cramps and is rarely fatal, it can lead to significant disability, with loss of function in hands affecting ability to work and perform everyday tasks, and foot drop leading ..., and often profuse fasciculations muscle twitching .

Multiple issues expert July 2008 context July 2008 introrewrite July 2008 jargon July 2008 Multifocal multiphoton microscopy is a microscopy technique for generating Stereoscopy 3D images. By exploiting specific properties of pulsed mode multiphoton excitation the conflict between the density of the foci, i.e. the degree of parallelization, and the axial sectioning has been resolved. The basic idea is that the laser pulses of neighboring Focus optics foci are temporally separated by at least one pulse duration, so that interference is avoided. This method is referred to as time multiplexing TMX . Moreover, with a high degree of time multiplicity , the interfocal distance can be reduced to such an extent that lateral scanning becomes obsolete. In this case axial scanning is sufficient to record a 3D image.
