Leveraging Transfer Learning and User-Specific Updates for Rapid Training of BCI Decoders
Lengthy subject- or session-specific data acquisition and calibration remain a key barrier to deploying electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) outside the laboratory. Previous work has shown that cross subject, cross-session invariant features exist in EEG. We propose a transfer learning pipeline based on a two-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) that leverages these invariants to reduce the burden of data acquisition and calibration. A baseline model is traine…

Smith argues the threat of Iran having a nuclear weapon was "all made up. In other words, Donald Trump has all the time in the world to take this to Congress and let the American system, which is supposed to be the people get to decide through their representatives whether or not we declare a war. There was no imminent threat here.”

Unobtrusive Reflectance Photoplethysmography for Detecting and Severity Grading of Sleep Apnea via Oxygen Desaturation Index
Sleep apnea is a common chronic sleep-related disorder which is known to be a comorbidity for cerebro- and cardio-vascular disease. Diagnosis of sleep apnea usually requires an overnight polysomnography at the sleep laboratory. In this paper, we used a wearable device which measures reflectance photoplethysmography (PPG) at the wrist and upper arm to estimate continuous SpO2 levels during sleep and subsequently derive an oxygen desaturation index (ODI) for each patient. On a cohort of 170 patie…

Rudolf Rocker argued that true social liberation requires the abolition of all forms of political, economic, and social oppression, he maintained that even complete economic equality is meaningless without freedom, and that any system enforcing authority or coercion undermines genuine emancipation.
When I think about it, I strongly agree with this view, because real freedom can only exist where no one is subject to outside control, where each person has the space to shape their own lif…

Human Misperception of Generative-AI Alignment: A Laboratory Experiment
We conduct an incentivized laboratory experiment to study people's perception of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) alignment in the context of economic decision-making. Using a panel of economic problems spanning the domains of risk, time preference, social preference, and strategic interactions, we ask human subjects to make choices for themselves and to predict the choices made by GenAI on behalf of a human user. We find that people overestimate the degree of alignment between GenAI'…

Optimal Experimental Design for Microplastics Sampling Experiments
Microplastics contamination is one of the most rapidly growing research topics. However, monitoring microplastics contamination in the environment presents both logistical and statistical challenges, particularly when constrained resources limit the scale of sampling and laboratory analysis. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian framework for the optimal experimental design of microplastic sampling campaigns. Our approach integrates prior knowledge and uncertainty quantification to guide decisio…
