Loss of Trust as Disconnection in John Updike’s Trust Me by Brian DUFFY

“…While the title of John Updike’s short-story collection, Trust Me (1987), and the theme of betrayed trust of the first story (“Trust Me”) offer a thematic coherence to the collection, it would be restrictive to read the stories through the simple thematic filter of betrayed trust leading to weakened human attachments. …”

Who is WithMe? EEG features for attention in a visual task, with auditory and rhythmic support by Renata Turkeš, Steven Mortier, Jorg De Winne, Jorg De Winne, Dick Botteldooren, Paul Devos, Steven Latré, Tim Verdonck

“…The performance of the different EEG representations is evaluated with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) accuracy on the WithMe data derived from a modified digit span experiment, and is benchmarked against baseline EEG-specific models, including a deep learning architecture known for effectively learning task-specific features.ResultsThe raw EEG time series outperform each of the considered data representations, but can fall short in comparison with the black-box deep learning approach that learns the best features.DiscussionThe findings are limited to the WithMe experimental paradigm, highlighting the need for further studies on diverse tasks to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their utility in the analysis of EEG data.…”

Protecting the Autonomy of Patients with Severe Mental Illness Through Psychiatric Advance Directive Peer-Facilitation by Nicholas Karasik

“…Much of the logistical burden falls on those living with SMI to educate themselves and initiate the completion of a PAD.[11] However, many of those living with SMI already face additional burdens that prevent their successful navigation of a complex healthcare system, including poverty, marginal housing, and food insecurity.[12] In addition, individuals with SMI tend to be more socially isolated, with few others to trust besides their providers.[13] Efforts to promote the uptake of PADs by those living with SMI that neglect these additional burdens risk exacerbating health inequities faced by those with SMI. …”
