Unlocking the neural mechanisms of consumer loan evaluations: an fNIRS and ML-based consumer neuroscience study.

Introduction: This study conducts a comprehensive exploration of the neurocognitive processes underlying consumer credit decision-making using cutting-edge techniques from neuroscience and machine learning (ML). Employing functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), the research examines the hemodynamic responses of participants while evaluating diverse credit offers.

Methods: The experimental phase of this study investigates the hemodynamic responses collected from 39 healthy participants with respect to different loan offers.

Analysis of the DOK1 gene in breast cancer.

Breast cancer, which is the most common type of cancer among women, is a heterogenous disease. It results from progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations in different genes. The Dok1 protein has been identified as the major substrate of protein tyrosine kinases in hematopoietic cells.
