Effects of eye closure on the spiking activity of human lateral geniculate neurons #LGN

Effects of eye closure on the spiking activity of human lateral geniculate neurons - Nature Communications
The LGN is a critical stage between the retina and visual cortex, but the properties of human LGN neurons are not fully understood. Here the authors report that they closely resemble those in monkeys and that closure of one eye increases the activity of putative inhibitory neurons connected to that eye.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an order on Friday revoking the Thai citizenship of Phat Suphapa, who is also known as Ly Yong Phat. Ly, a naturalized Thai national, he was accused of being involved with cyber-scam operations and human trafficking networks.

@… I've been searching for new language to distinguish human development from property development, & from other activity turning the natural world into sterile spaces or toxic products. Also for "construction" & "building", neutral alternatives without implied positivity. Ideas anyone?

'Mind-captioning' technique can read human thoughts from brain scans
Reading brain activity with advanced technologies is not a new concept. However, most techniques have focused on identifying single words associated with an object or action a person is seeing or thinking of, or matching up brain signals that correspond to spoken words. Some methods used caption databases or deep neural networks, but these approaches were limited by database word coverage or introduced information not present in the brain. Generating detailed, structured descriptions of complex…

JP Morgan warned the US government about more than
$1 billion in transactions linked to Jeffrey Epstein that were possibly related to reports of human trafficking, new documents confirm.
The largest bank in the US filed a suspicious activity report (SAR) in 2019,
just weeks after Epstein was found dead in a New York jail cell,
about transactions linked to the paedophile financier and prominent business figures.
It also flagged wire transfers made by Epstein to …

Universal scale-free representations in human visual cortex
Author summary The human cerebral cortex is thought to encode sensory information in population activity patterns, but the statistical structure of these population codes has yet to be characterized. By examining large-scale neuroimaging recordings of human vision using a spectral approach more common in physics than neuroscience, we reveal the universal scale-free structure of population codes in visual cortex, which is found in all subjects and at multiple stages of visual processing. Moreove…

Fine-grained Analysis of Brain-LLM Alignment through Input Attribution
Understanding the alignment between large language models (LLMs) and human brain activity can reveal computational principles underlying language processing. We introduce a fine-grained input attribution method to identify the specific words most important for brain-LLM alignment, and leverage it to study a contentious research question about brain-LLM alignment: the relationship between brain alignment (BA) and next-word prediction (NWP). Our findings reveal that BA and NWP rely on largely dis…

Rotational migration in human pancreatic ductal organoids depends on actin and myosin activity
Rotational migration is one specific form of collective cell migration when epithelial cells are confined in a spherical geometry, such as in the epithelial acini. This tissue-level rotation motion is crucial for the morphogenesis of multiple epithelial systems. Here, we introduce a new primary human model for the study of rotational migration, pancreatic ductal organoids. Live imaging revealed the persistent rotation of the organoids over time. By tracking the nuclei, the three- dimensional tr…

Go witheFlow: Real-time Emotion Driven Audio Effects Modulation
Music performance is a distinctly human activity, intrinsically linked to the performer's ability to convey, evoke, or express emotion. Machines cannot perform music in the human sense; they can produce, reproduce, execute, or synthesize music, but they lack the capacity for affective or emotional experience. As such, music performance is an ideal candidate through which to explore aspects of collaboration between humans and machines. In this paper, we introduce the witheFlow system, designed t…

A human EEG dataset for multisensory perception and mental imagery #YOTO (You Only Think Once)

A Human EEG Dataset for Multisensory Perception and Mental Imagery - Scientific Data
The YOTO (You Only Think Once) dataset presents a human electroencephalog- raphy (EEG) resource for exploring multisensory perception and mental imagery. The study enrolled 26 participants who performed tasks involving both unimodal and multimodal stimuli. Researchers collected high-resolution EEG signals at a 1000 Hz sampling rate to capture high-temporal-resolution neural activity related to internal mental representations. The protocol incorporated visual, auditory, and combined cues to in…

Leveraging Vision Transformers for Enhanced Classification of Emotions using ECG Signals
Biomedical signals provide insights into various conditions affecting the human body. Beyond diagnostic capabilities, these signals offer a deeper understanding of how specific organs respond to an individual's emotions and feelings. For instance, ECG data can reveal changes in heart rate variability linked to emotional arousal, stress levels, and autonomic nervous system activity. This data offers a window into the physiological basis of our emotional states. Recent advancements in the field d…

Gradient of White Matter Functional Variability via fALFF Differential Identifiability
Functional variability in both gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) is closely associated with human brain cognitive and developmental processes, and is commonly assessed using functional connectivity (FC). However, as a correlation-based approach, FC captures the co-fluctuation between brain regions rather than the intensity of neural activity in each region. Consequently, FC provides only a partial view of functional variability, and this limitation is particularly pronounced in WM, where f…
