We explore the intersection of neural dynamics and the effects of psychedelics in light of distinct timescales in a framework integrating concepts from dynamics, complexity, and plasticity. We call this framework neural ...
Introduction: Individuals in the midst of a mental health crisis frequently exhibit instability and face an elevated risk of recurring crises in the subsequent weeks, which underscores the importance of timely intervention ...
Background:Gender differences in the use of educational environments and socialmedia platforms have been a topic of interest in research. Several studies have exam-ined the disparities between female and male participants ...

We present a general model for multi-class segmentation of multi-channel digital images. It is based on the minimization of an anisotropic version of the Mumford-Shah energy functional in the class of piecewise constant ...
Artificial placenta (AP) is a promising approach to improve survival in extremely premature fetuses, removing them from the uterus and replacing the placenta by an external oxygenator. In in vivo experiments with lambs, ...
Cirrhosis is a prevalent chronic liver disease that causes scarring of the liver, leading to altered mechanics and impaired function. One of its most severe complications is portal hypertension, characterised by an increase ...
There is still no categorical answer as to why humans, and no other species, have speech, or why speech is the way it is. Several purely anatomical arguments have been put forward, but they have been shown to be false, ...
Larrabide, Ignacio, 1978-; Aguilar, María Laura; Morales, Hernán G.; Geers, Adrianus Johannes; Kulcsár, Zsolt; Rüfenacht, Daniel; Frangi Caregnato, Alejandro(American Society of Neuroradiology, 2013)
Background and purpose: Effects of blood flow modification by flow diverters are observed to lead often to aneurysm thrombosis and reverse remodeling. For this process, to further understand the potential roles of ...

Robotic agents are spreading, incarnated as embodied entities, exploring the tangible world and interacting with us, or as virtual agents crawling over the web, parsing and generating data. In both cases, they require: (i) ...
We introduce two first-order graph-based dependency parsers achieving a new state of the art. The first is a consensus parser built from an ensemble of independently trained greedy LSTM transition-based parsers with different ...

Better understanding of the anatomical variability of the human cochlear is important for the design and function of Cochlear Implants. Proper non-rigid alignment of high-resolution cochlear μCT data is a challenge for the ...
Sayis, Batuhan; Beardsley, Marc; Portero Tresserra, Marta(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
Best possible self (BPS) is a positive psychological
intervention shown to enhance well-being which involves
writing a description of an ideal future scenario. This paper
presents a comparison of psychophysiological ...

Recent developments of video and sensing technology have led to large volumes of digital media data. Current media production relies on videos from the principal camera together with a wide variety of heterogeneous source ...
Simulating crowds requires controlling a very large number of trajectories of characters and is usually performed using crowd steering algorithms. The question of choosing the right algorithm with the right parameter values ...
Social Media is an important disseminator of body image representations and the body cult. The growing popularity of social media among children and adolescents makes minors a vulnerable group to the internalization of ...
