β¦ Synopsis
A new method is presented for the measurement of the temperature profile of chemical waves propagating through a solution.
Using solutions of thermocolor materials, the temperature distribution caused by the heat released in the propagating chemical reaction front is visualized and recorded using digital image processing methods. After a calibration, the temperature gradient can be calculated from the gray scale value in a digitized image. The method was applied to the fronts in the chlorate oxidation of sulfite. Temperature measurements in the 25-44 "C range were made with 2S"C resolution and in the 44-90Β°C range with 05Β°C

## Abstract Temperature and pH are two of the most important physiological parameters and are believed to be tightly regulated because they are intricately related to energy metabolism in living organisms. Temperature and/or pH data in mammalian brain are scarce, however, mainly because of lack of
