Measuring Reaction Time and Donders' Method of Subtraction

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University The ambition of experimental psychology is to characterize the mental events that support the human ability to solve problems, perceive the world, and turn thoughts into words and sentences. But people cannot see or feel those mental events; they cannot be weighed, combined in test tubes, or grown in a dish. Wanting to study mental life, nonetheless, Franciscus Donders, a Dutch ophthalmologist in the early 1800s, came up with a...

Position a human patient with internal carotid stenosis, a condition characterized by narrowing of the internal carotid artery, on the imaging table for digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Insert an angiocatheter into the common carotid artery at the fourth cervical vertebra level. Capture a pre-contrast X-ray image to record background structures like bones and soft tissues using X-ray irradiation. Administer an iodine-based contrast medium into the carotid artery. The contrast medium...

We present a protocol to perform subtractive patterning of live cell monolayers on a surface. This is achieved by local and selective lysis of adherent cells using a microfluidic probe (MFP). The cell lysate retrieved from local regions can be used for downstream analysis, enabling molecular profiling studies.

Here a novel region of interest analysis protocol based on sorting best-fit ellipses assigned to regions of positive signal within two-dimensional time lapse image sequences is demonstrated. This algorithm may enable investigators to comprehensively analyze physiological Ca2+ signals with minimal user input and bias.
FAQs
The reference region is essential because it estimates signal that does not originate uniquely from the target ROI. Subtracting that value removes part of the nonspecific contribution while preserving the ROI’s signal relative to its background. A meaningful reference should therefore reflect the background or control condition relevant to the image comparison, rather than an unrelated image area.
Signal subtraction changes the measurement from an absolute observed intensity to a background-adjusted value. This can increase visual and numerical separation between a target and its surrounding or control signal, making small differences easier to assess. In medical imaging studies, that adjustment is especially useful when the scientific question depends on comparing tissues, lesions, or treatment conditions.
Reliability depends on how consistently the target ROI and reference region are defined and measured. If the selected regions do not represent the intended tissue or background, the corrected value may reflect selection differences rather than a biological or treatment-related signal change. Applying the same ROI and reference logic across comparisons supports more reproducible interpretation.
In a medical-image comparison, first define the target ROI and then record its observed intensity. Next estimate the signal from a background or control region, subtract that reference from the ROI measurement, and apply the same sequence to each tissue, lesion, or treatment condition being compared. Keeping the order and comparison basis consistent helps separate analysis effects from image differences.
ROI Signal Subtraction is most useful when an investigation compares signal across tissues, lesions, or treatment conditions and background contributions could obscure the relevant difference. It provides a common background-adjusted basis for those comparisons, allowing researchers to examine whether measured changes remain after nonspecific signal has been accounted for. The method supports imaging studies focused on subtle intensity differences.
An adjusted ROI value can support both visual assessment and quantitative interpretation. Higher contrast may make a subtle regional change easier to recognize, while reduced background variation can make measurements more comparable across study conditions. The resulting values can therefore help researchers interpret differences among tissues, lesions, or treatment conditions with greater consistency.
