Epistemic Roots, Universal Routes and Ontological Roofs of African “Ritual Archives”: Disciplinary Formations in African Thought by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju

“…“Epistemic and Metaphysical Integrity in Ifá”, the second part, examines his argument for a re-centering of studies in classical African thought within the epistemic and metaphysical frames of those bodies of knowledge, using the Yoruba origin Ifá system of knowledge, spiritual development and divination as an example, an illustration I analyze through my own understanding of the cognitive and metaphysical framework of Ifá. The third unit, “Falola’s Image Theory and Praxis, Image as Archive, Image as Initiator”, demonstrates Falola’s dramatization of the cognitive possibilities of works of art as inspirers of theory, exemplified by a figurine of the Yoruba origin òrìṣà cosmology, the deity Esu. …”

Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester Protects Neurons Against Oxidative Stress and Neurodegeneration During Traumatic Brain Injury by Nurul Sulimai, Jason Brown, David Lominadze

“…Data showed that CAPE attenuated the Fg-induced generation of ROS and neuronal death. CAPE improved the cognitive function of the mice with TBI. The results suggest that Fg-induced generation of ROS could be a mechanism involved in cognitive impairment and that CAPE can offer protection against oxidative damage and neurodegeneration.…”

Disentangling Tinnitus Distress and Tinnitus Presence by Means of EEG Power Analysis by Martin Meyer, Matthias S. Luethi, Patrick Neff, Nicolas Langer, Stefan Büchi

“…We recorded resting-state EEG and collected psychometric data to obtain information about how chronic tinnitus experience affects the cognitive and emotional state of TI. The study was meant to disentangle TI with high distress from those who suffer less from persistent tinnitus based on both neurophysiological and behavioral data. …”

Chord Types and Figuration: A Bayesian Learning Model of Extended Chord Profiles by Christoph Finkensiep, Petter Ericson, Sebasian Klassmann, Martin Rohrmeier

“…To this end, we develop a computational model of chord types that distinguishes chord tones and “figuration tones” and can be learned using Bayesian inference following methods in computational cognitive science. This model is trained on two datasets using Bayesian variational inference, comprising scores of Western classical and popular music, respectively, and containing harmonic annotations as well as heuristically determined note-type labels. …”
