Neurodynamical Computing at the Information Boundaries of Intelligent Systems.

Artificial intelligence has not achieved defining features of biological intelligence despite models boasting more parameters than neurons in the human brain. In this perspective article, we synthesize historical approaches to understanding intelligent systems and argue that methodological and epistemic biases in these fields can be resolved by shifting away from cognitivist brain-as-computer theories and recognizing that brains exist within large, interdependent living systems. Integrating the dynamical systems view of cognition with the massive distributed feedback of perceptual control theory highlights a theoretical gap in our understanding of nonreductive neural mechanisms.

NSF DARE-transforming modeling in neurorehabilitation: perspectives and opportunities from US funding agencies.

In recognition of the importance and timeliness of computational models for accelerating progress in neurorehabilitation, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored a conference in March 2023 at the University of Southern California that drew global participation from engineers, scientists, clinicians, and trainees.

Treating Tet Spells With Disopyramide in a 72-Year-Old Awaiting Primary Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.

An adult with unrepaired tetralogy of Fallot presented with frequent tet spells. Her course was complicated by severe cyanotic spells and tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome that limited beta blocker use to stabilize her spells. She markedly improved after disopyramide initiation and underwent successful tetralogy of Fallot repair with excellent functional outcome.

The effects of a land-based home exercise program on surfing performance in recreational surfers.

Surfing has become a popular, non-age dependent sport that can be performed at most beaches. Hence, coaches and athletes have recognised the importance of physical preparation to enhance athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a sport-specific, land-based-home exercise programme (LB-HEP) on sport-specific assessments related to surfing performance in recreational surfers.
