A number of questions in systems biology such as understanding how dynamics of neuronal networks are related to brain function require the ability to capture the functional dynamics of large cellular populations at high speed. Recently,…

A method for estimating the axis of reflectional symmetry of an image $f(x,y)$ on the unit disc $D=\{(x,y):x^2+y^2\leq1\}$ is proposed, given that noisy data of $f(x,y)$ are observed on a discrete grid of edge width $\Delta$. Our estimation…
