Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The hearing aid dilemma: amplification, compression, and distortion of the neural code
Hearing aids face a seemingly intractable problem: the amplification required to make speech audible also makes it less intelligible. But there is hope.
Bioorthogonal rhodopsin engineering
We have recently used bioorthogonal reactions to convert microbial rhodopsins into hybrid voltage indicators.
The effects of seasons and weather on sleep patterns measured through longitudinal multimodal sensing
Do seasonal variations in day length and temperature influence sleep in a world of climate control and electricity? Our study combined a year of wearable sleep data with meteorological data. We found that seasons, day length, and temperature influence when and how long individuals sleep.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG)-based Brain-Computer Interface for detecting Motor and Cognitive Imagery
We release a 306-channel MEG-BCI data recorded at 1KHz sampling frequency during four mental imagery tasks (i.e. hand imagery, feet imagery, subtraction imagery, and word generation imagery). The current dataset is the only publicly available MEG imagery BCI dataset as per our knowledge.
