Brain mapping is vital in understanding the brain's functional organization. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most widely used brain mapping approaches, primarily because it is non-invasive, inexpensive, straightforward, and effective. Increasing the electrode density in EEG systems provides more neural information and can thereby enable more detailed and nuanced mapping procedures.

Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, patients with CSC were enrolled in nine tertiary referral centers in Germany between January 2022 and June 2023. After consenting to the study, demographic data, risk factors, reported symptoms, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), funduscopic findings, disease severity, and diagnostic and treatment decisions were recorded and analyzed.
Recent trends in brain-computer interface (BCI) research concern the passive monitoring of brain activity, which aim to monitor a wide variety of cognitive states. Engagement is such a cognitive state, which is of interest in contexts such as learning, entertainment or rehabilitation. This study proposes a novel approach for real-time estimation of engagement during different tasks using electroencephalography (EEG).

Refugee sites are a means to manage large-scale refugee movements, a recurring event in today's world. Sport is supposed to have beneficial effects for the residents of such sites and is therefore an activity, which is standardly organized by the sites' management. Moreover, many NGOs and "Sport for Development and Peace" programmes endorse the use of sport in emergency situations-including in refugee sites-to achieve several biopsychosocial objectives.
