Developmental patterns of behavior are variably organized in time and among different individuals. However, long-term behavioral diversity was previously studied using pre-defined behavioral parameters, representing a limited fraction of the full individuality structure. Here, we continuously extract ∼1.

Article Synopsis
  • Physical therapy is essential for addressing physical challenges in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly during the COVID-19 lockdown when remote telehealth interventions (RTIs) were introduced.
  • A study involving 13 experienced physical therapists (PTs) showed their perspectives on using RTIs with 244 children with ASD, focusing on their experiences over six weeks.
  • Key findings highlighted the positive impact of RTIs irrespective of ASD severity, emphasizing the importance of parental involvement for the success of the interventions.

Videogames are emerging as a promising experimental paradigm in neuroimaging. Acquiring gameplay in a scanner remains challenging due to the lack of a scanner-compatible videogame controller that provides a similar experience to standard, commercial devices. In this paper, we introduce a videogame controller designed for use in the functional magnetic resonance imaging as well as magnetoencephalography.

Self-induced cognitive trance (SICT) is a voluntary non-ordinary state of consciousness characterized by a lucid yet narrowed awareness of the external surroundings. It involves a hyper-focused immersive experience of flow, expanded inner imagery, modified somatosensory processing, and an altered perception of self and time. SICT is gaining attention due to its potential clinical applications.

An organoid is a 3D organization of cells that can recapitulate some of the structure and function of native tissue. Recent work has seen organoids gain prominence as a valuable model for studying tissue development, drug discovery, and potential clinical applications. The requirements for the successful culture of organoids in vitro differ significantly from those of traditional monolayer cell cultures.
