Scientists are always looking for better ways to study the brain. One tool they use is called PET scanning. This tool helps them see how different parts of the brain work. But the data from these scans can be tricky to understand. One method to make sense of this data is called spectral analysis. I
People often copy what others do, especially friends. But does having many friends help or slow down the spread of new ideas or behaviors? Some think that if people are more likely to copy their friends, then behaviors will spread faster and wider in groups where everyone knows each other well. Othe
The brain processes language in layers, like a story with words, sentences, and paragraphs. Different brain areas handle these layers at different speeds. When we listen to a story, brain activity moves through these areas with slight delays. To understand this, a special network was built to mimic
Drip irrigation is a big deal in farming. It helps plants get just the right amount of water and nutrients. But checking how much water each tiny emitter gives out can be a lot of work. That's where artificial neural networks (ANNs) come in. These are like super-smart computer programs that can lear
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are like translators between our brains and machines. They need to be super accurate to be useful. But, using just one type of model to read brain signals isn't always the best. That's where hybrid models come in. They combine different types of models to get better
Emergency rooms are super busy places. They see a lot of patients, and keeping track of everyone is a big job. Hospitals use digital systems to log patient info, but mistakes happen. At the Bordeaux University Hospital, over 90% of these logs have missing or wrong data. This is mostly because people
Big changes are happening in the world of cable TV. Disney and Hearst, the owners of A&E, Lifetime, and History, have put these channels up for sale. This isn't the only shake-up happening. Other big companies like NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery are also selling off some of their TV channel
In a world where everything is connected, finding a balance can be tough. Think of it like a group of friends trying to agree on a movie to watch. Each person has their own favorite, but they also have to consider what the others like. This is similar to what happens in a network of machines or syst
In 2021, a unique project kicked off in Franklin County, Ohio, aiming to boost health literacy and create lasting connections among local groups. This wasn't just another health initiative; it was a team effort involving public health departments, healthcare providers, a university, and community or
Managing rivers and lakes is tricky. There are lots of living things and environmental factors to consider. Most models focus on just a few species or simplify how they interact. This makes it hard to see the big picture. A new approach uses something called Hierarchical Bayesian networks (HBNs). Th
