Various countries have implemented a choice-based health insurance system. For such systems to function as intended, it is crucial that all citizens have the opportunity to make well-informed decisions with regard to their health insurance policy. There is, however, ample research evidence to suggest that many citizens may lack the required skills to do so, thus increasing the likelihood of suboptimal insurance choices and incurring unexpected costs.

Background: The use of near-infrared lasers for transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) offers a non-invasive method for influencing brain activity and is beneficial for various neurological conditions. However, comprehensive quantitative studies on its safety are lacking.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the safety of 1064-nm laser-based tPBM across brain structure, brain function, neural damage, cognitive ability and tolerance.

Action video game (AVG) playing has been found to transfer to a variety of laboratory tasks in visual cognition. More recently, it has even been found to transfer to low-level visual "psychophysics tasks. This is unexpected since such low-level tasks have traditionally been found to be largely "immune" to transfer from another task, or even from the same task but a different stimulus attribute, e.

BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) contributes to premature renal failure in 10%-20% of kidney transplant recipients. Current treatment relies on reducing immunosuppression to regain BKPyV-specific immune control. Subsequently, declining allograft function may result from persisting viral cytopathology, BKPyV-specific immune reconstitution, or alloimmunity/rejection, all being poorly distinguishable by current histological or molecular approaches.
