Beijing Normal University 8 articles published in JoVE Behavior Evaluating Flight Performance and Eye Movement Patterns Using Virtual Reality Flight Simulator Luoma Ke1, Zhejun Zhang2, Yidan Ma1, Yi Xiao3, Shengjun Wu4, Xiuchao Wang4, Xufeng Liu4, Jibo He1 1Psychology Department, School of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, 2Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University, 3National Key Laboratory of Human Factors Engineering, the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, 4Department of Military Medical Psychology, Air Force Medical University A new virtual reality flight simulator was built, which enables efficient and low-cost evaluation of flight performance and eye movement patterns. It also provides a high-potential research tool for ergonomics and other research. Medicine Augmented Reality Navigation-Guided Core Decompression for Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head Qi Wang*1,3, Qiuyuan Wang*2,3, Ran Ding3, Youjie Yao4, Junjun Pan5, Weiguo Wang3 1China-Japan Friendship School of Clinical Medicine, Peking University, 2Graduate School of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, 3Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Beijing Key Lab of Immunes-Mediated Inflammatory Disease, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, 4Beijing Normal University, 5State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, Beihang University Augmented reality technology was applied to core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head to realize real-time visualization of this surgical procedure. This method can effectively improve the safety and precision of core decompression. Neuroscience Measurement of the Directional Information Flow in fNIRS-Hyperscanning Data using the Partial Wavelet Transform Coherence Method Siyuan Zhou*1, Yuhang Long*2, Chunming Lu1 1State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning & IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Beijing Normal University, 2Institute of Developmental Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University This protocol describes partial wavelet transform coherence (pWTC) for calculating the time-lagged pattern of interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) to infer the direction and temporal pattern of information flow during social interaction. The effectiveness of pWTC in removing the confounds of signal autocorrelation on INS was proved by two experiments. Behavior Interaction between Phonological and Semantic Processes in Visual Word Recognition using Electrophysiology Yuling Wang1, Minghu Jiang1, Xinyi Xu1, Yunlong Huang2 1Center for Psychology and Cognitive Science, Lab of Computational Linguistics, Tsinghua University, 2Advanced Innovation Center for Future Education, Beijing Normal University We present a protocol to explore the relative activation sequence of phonology and semantics in visual word recognition. The results show that consistent with interactive accounts, semantic and phonological representations may be processed interactively, and higher-level linguistic representations may affect early processing. Behavior An Assessment Method and Toolkit to Evaluate Keyboard Design on Smartphones Yincheng Wang1, Ke Wang1, Yuqi Huang1, Di Wu2, Jian Wu3, Jibo He1 1Department of Psychology, School of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, 2Department of Computer Science, Beijing Normal University, 3Haier Innovation Design Center, Haier Company The presented protocol integrates various evaluation methods and demonstrates a method to evaluate the keyboard design on smartphones. Pairs matched by English characters are proposed as the input material, and the transition time between two keys is used as the dependent variable. Cancer Research Comparing Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Model Established in Mouse Kidney and on Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane Moe Ishihara*1, Junhui Hu*1, Xiaoyu Zhang2, YongHyeon Choi3, Anthony Wong4, Celine Cano-Ruiz5, Rongwei Zhao6, Ping Tan7, Jonathan L. Tso1, Lily Wu1,8 1Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, 2Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, 3Department of Bioengineering, Hanyang University, 4Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, 5Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics, University of California, Los Angeles, 6School of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal University, 7Department of Urology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 8Department of Urology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles Metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a disease without a comprehensive animal model for thorough preclinical investigation. This protocol illustrates two novel animal models for the disease: the orthotopically implanted mouse model and the chicken chorioallantoic membrane model, both of which demonstrate lung metastasis resembling clinical cases. Neuroscience Stimulation Location Determination using a 3D Digitizer with High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Wanting Chen1, Rui Chen1, Qinghua He1,2,3,4,5 1Faculty of Psychology, Southwest University, 2Key Laboratory of Cognition and Personality, Ministry of Education, Southwest University, 3Southwest University Branch, Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment toward Basic Education Quality, Beijing Normal University, 4Key Laboratory of Mental Health, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 5Chongqing Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Science Presented here is a protocol to achieve higher accuracy in determination of stimulation location combining a 3D digitizer with high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation. Neuroscience Electrophysiological Method for Recording Intracellular Voltage Responses of Drosophila Photoreceptors and Interneurons to Light Stimuli In Vivo Mikko Juusola1,2, An Dau2, Lei Zheng1, Diana Rien1,2 1National Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Beijing Normal University, 2Department of Biomedical Science, The University of Sheffield Sharp microelectrodes enable accurate electrophysiological characterization of photoreceptor and visual interneuron output in living Drosophila. Here we show how to use this method to record high-quality voltage responses of individual cells to controlled light stimulation. This method is ideal for studying neural information processing in insect compound eyes.
