AI Article Synopsis

  • This chapter reviews how the perception of regular beats in music is studied across human adults, newborns, and nonhuman primates using event-related brain potentials (ERPs).
  • It specifically highlights the role of the mismatch negativity (MMN) component in understanding beat perception and examines existing research on temporal regularity in music.
  • The chapter concludes by addressing challenges and future directions for using ERPs in beat perception studies, including potential limitations on stimulus design.

Article Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of how the perception of a regular beat in music can be studied in humans adults, human newborns, and nonhuman primates using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Next to a review of the recent literature on the perception of temporal regularity in music, we will discuss in how far ERPs, and especially the component called mismatch negativity (MMN), can be instrumental in probing beat perception. We conclude with a discussion on the pitfalls and prospects of using ERPs to probe the perception of a regular beat, in which we present possible constraints on stimulus design and discuss future perspectives.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis characterizes developmental mechanisms of cellular differentiation, lineage determination, and reprogramming with differential conditioning of the microenvironment. In this article, the underlying dynamics are formulated via optimal transport with algorithms that calculate the transition probability of the state of cell dynamics over time. The algorithmic biases of optimal transport (OT) due to entropic regularization are balanced by Sinkhorn divergence, which normally de-biases the regularized transport by centering them.

Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage is defined by the visual appearance of the vascular-avascular border, which reflects a spectrum of pathologic neurovascular tissue (NVT). Previous work demonstrated that the thickness of the ridge lesion, measured using OCT, corresponds to higher clinical diagnosis of stage. This study evaluates whether the volume of anomalous NVT (ANVTV), defined as abnormal tissue protruding from the regular contour of the retina, can be measured automatically using deep learning to develop quantitative OCT-based biomarkers in ROP.

Real-Time Quantification of Gas Leaks Using a Snapshot Infrared Spectral Imager.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Optical Engineering, Utsunomiya University, 7-2-1 Yoto, Utsunomiya 321-8585, Japan.

We describe the various steps of a gas imaging algorithm developed for detecting, identifying, and quantifying gas leaks using data from a snapshot infrared spectral imager. The spectral video stream delivered by the hardware allows the system to combine spatial, spectral, and temporal correlations into the gas detection algorithm, which significantly improves its measurement sensitivity in comparison to non-spectral video, and also in comparison to scanning spectral imaging. After describing the special calibration needs of the hardware, we show how to regularize the gas detection/identification for optimal performance, provide example SNR spectral images, and discuss the effects of humidity and absorption nonlinearity on detection and quantification.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges of our time, urging researchers in both veterinary and public health to engage in collaborative efforts, thereby fostering the One Health approach. Infections caused by species can not only lead to significant diseases in poultry but also pose serious threats to human life, particularly in hospital (nosocomial) infections; therefore, it is crucial to identify their antimicrobial resistance.

Methods: Our objective was to assess the susceptibility profile of commensal strains ( = 227) found in commercial chicken flocks in Hungary through the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values.
