Time Course of Brain Activity Changes Related to Number (Quantity) Processing Triggered by Digits Versus Number Words: An Event-Related Potential (ERP) Study by Peter Walla, Philipp Klimovic

“…The neuroscience of language processing in the human brain has a long history. Strings of letters that form meaningful words trigger lexical and semantic processing, which in turn lead to conscious awareness of what the words mean. …”

Intronic SNP in ESR1 encoding human estrogen receptor alpha is associated with brain ESR1 mRNA isoform expression and behavioral traits. by Julia K Pinsonneault, John T Frater, Benjamin Kompa, Roshan Mascarenhas, Danxin Wang, Wolfgang Sadee

“…We have searched for regulatory variants affecting ESR1 expression in human brain, measuring allelic ESR1 mRNA expression in human brain tissues with marker SNPs in exon4 representing ESR1-008 (or ESRα-36), and in the 3'UTR of ESR1-203, two main ESR1 isoforms in brain. …”

DESCARTES’ ONTOLOGY AND THE IDEA OF NATURE CONTROL by Česlovas Kalenda

“… The idea of nature control in Western civilisation is not only connected with ecological-climatic conditions as well as with social conditions but also with the nature of people and the properties of thinking, which are only typical to the human brain’s functional asymmetry. It was decisive in the West, differently from the East, that a rational, analytic rudiment was developed which legalized the antipode between subject and object, nature and spirit. …”

What Remains to Be Discovered? by Pavel Nováček

“…Among the most promising challenges on the border between science and our imaginations, is an exploration of our universe, and potential contact with an extra-terrestrial civilisation, better understanding of space, time, matter, and energy (including “dark matter” and “dark energy”) and, of course, the “unthinkable” potential of the human brain. It seems that what may never be discovered is scientific evidence of life after death. …”

Human activity recognition algorithm based on the spatial feature for WBAN by Chi JIN, Zhijun LI, Dayang SUN, Fengye HU

“…Traditional image-based activity recognition algorithms have some problems,such as high computational cost,numerous blind spots and easy privacy leakage.To solve the problem above,the CCLA (convolution-convolutional long short-term memory-attention) activity recognition algorithm based on the acceleration and gyroscope data was proposed.The convolutional neural network was used to extract spatial features of activity data and got the hidden time series information from the convolutional long short-term memory network.Simulating human brain selecting attention mechanism,attention-encoder was constructed to extract the spatial and temporal features at a higher level.The CCLA algorithm was tested on UCI-HAPT (university of California Irvine-smartphone-based recognition of human activities and postural transitions) public data set,and realized the classification of 12 types of activity with the accuracy of 93.27%.…”
