Temporal patterns of deep brain stimulation generated with a true random number generator and the logistic equation: effects on CNS arousal in mice.

ABSTRACT: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown promise in the treatment of many neurological and psychiatric disorders as well as a disorder of consciousness, the minimally conscious state (MCS). In the clinic, DBS is always monotonic standard pulses; however, we have hypothesized that temporally patterned pulses might be more efficient in achieving desired behavioral responses. Here we present two experiments on DBS of the central thalamus to increase arousal, as measured by motor activity, and to affect the electroencephalogram (EEG). In the first, we optimized amplitude and frequency in standard stimulation of the central thalamus in intact mice. In the second, the optimized fixed frequency was compared to two alternative temporal patterns, chaotic and random, which were physically identical to each other and fixed frequency in all ways except temporal pattern. In both experiments and with all types of stimulation, DBS of the central thalamus increased arousal as measured by motor activity. These data also revealed that temporal patterning of pulses can modulate response to stimulation. That temporal patterns in DBS of the central thalamus were found to alter motor activity response implies possible usefulness of temporal patterns in DBS of other contexts. More investigation into exactly how temporally patterned stimulation may affect neuronal circuit dynamics is necessary.

Project description:The volume of securely encrypted data transmission increases continuously in modern society with all things connected. Towards this end, true random numbers generated from physical sources are highly required for guaranteeing security of encryption and decryption schemes for exchanging sensitive information. However, majority of true random number generators (TRNGs) are mechanically rigid, and thus cannot be compatibly integrated with some specific flexible platforms. Herein, we present a flexible and stretchable bionic TRNG inspired by the uniqueness and randomness of biological architectures. The flexible TRNG film is molded from the surface microstructures of natural plants (e.g., ginkgo leaf) via a simple, low-cost, and environmentally friendly manufacturing process. In our proof-of-principle experiment, the TRNG exhibits a fast generation speed of up to 1.04 Gbit/s, in which random numbers are fully extracted from laser speckle patterns with a high extraction rate of 72%. Significantly, the resulting random bit streams successfully pass all randomness test suites including NIST, TestU01, and DIEHARDER. Even after 10,000 times cyclic stretching or bending tests, or during temperature shock (-25-80 °C), the bionic TRNG still reveals robust mechanical reliability and thermal stability. Such a flexible TRNG shows a promising potential in information security of emerging flexible networked electronics.Electronic supplementary materialSupplementary material (light path diagram of transmitted laser speckle, pseudo random pattern, statistical distribution of bionic microstructures, haze of the bionic TRNG film, multi-layer circular laser intensity pattern, percentage of bit 0/1 for different hashed images, Pearson correlation coefficient between 100 different speckle images, the whole process of randomness extraction, SEM images of the flexible TRNG film after 10,000 times stretching and bending, continuous work stability of the TRNG at low or high temperature, light path diagram of reflective laser speckle, and detailed randomness test results of NIST, TestU01, and DIEHARDER) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-4109-9.

Project description:Schizophrenia is a multifaceted chronic psychiatric disorder that affects the way a human thinks, feels, and behaves. Inevitably, natural randomness exists in the psychological perception of schizophrenic patients, which is our primary source of inspiration for this research because true randomness is the indubitably ultimate valuable resource for symmetric cryptography. Famous information theorist Claude Shannon gave two desirable properties that a strong encryption algorithm should have, which are confusion and diffusion in his fundamental article on the theoretical foundations of cryptography. Block encryption strength against various cryptanalysis attacks is purely dependent on its confusion property, which is gained through the confusion component. In the literature, chaos and algebraic techniques are extensively used to design the confusion component. Chaos- and algebraic-based techniques provide favorable features for the design of the confusion component; however, researchers have also identified potential attacks on these techniques. Instead of existing schemes, we introduce a novel methodology to construct cryptographic confusion component from the natural randomness, which are existing in the psychological perception of the schizophrenic patients, and as a result, cryptanalysis of chaos and algebraic techniques are not applicable on our proposed technique. The psychological perception of the brain regions was captured through the electroencephalogram (EEG) readings during the sensory task. The proposed design passed all the standard evaluation criteria and validation tests of the confusion component and the random number generators. One million true random bits are assessed through the NIST statistical test suite, and the results proved that the psychological perception of schizophrenic patients is a good source of true randomness. Furthermore, the proposed confusion component attains better or equal cryptographic strength as compared to state-of-the-art techniques (2020 to 2021). To the best of our knowledge, this nature of research is performed for the first time, in which psychiatric disorder is utilized for the design of information security primitive. This research opens up new avenues in cryptographic primitive design through the fusion of computing, neuroscience, and mathematics.
