Nowadays, with the increase of computational analysis in sciences such as biology and neuroscience, the computational aspect is one of the most challenging. The purpose of this work is the achieve the possibility to apply spatio-temporal networks inference techniques on brain to perform network analysis. One of the problems of spatio-temporal network applications is the computational time, and it becomes impractical to keep developing studies when it takes a long time to analyze and compute the results. We present a GPU-based system used to speed up the computation of spatio-temporal networks applied to different brain data; thanks to the architecture of these devices we are able to obtain an average increase in the performances of ~ 35× on a single GPU and ~ 78× on multi GPU with the respect of CPU execution.

Air pollution is a critical global environmental issue, further exacerbated by rapid industrialization and urbanization. Accurate prediction of air pollutant concentrations is essential for effective pollution prevention and control measures. The complex nature of pollutant data is influenced by fluctuating meteorological conditions, diverse pollution sources, and propagation processes, underscores the crucial importance of the spatial and temporal feature extraction for accurately predicting air pollutant concentrations.

Motor Imagery (MI) electroencephalographic (EEG) signal classification is a pioneer research branch essential for mobility rehabilitation. This paper proposes an end-to-end hybrid deep network "Spatio Temporal Inception Transformer Network (STIT-Net)" model for MI classification. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to derive the alpha (8-13) Hz and beta (13-30) Hz EEG sub bands which are dominant during motor tasks to enhance the performance of the proposed work.

Objective: Among all BCI paradigms, motion imagery (MI) has gained favor among researchers because it allows users to control external devices by imagining movements rather than actually performing actions. This property holds important promise for clinical applications, especially in areas such as stroke rehabilitation. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals are two of the more popular neuroimaging techniques for obtaining MI signals from the brain.

In developing nations, the biggest threat to public health is the quality of the water. The Kulfo River provides the majority demand of the domestic water and irrigation along its course; however, it is observed that wastes from anthropogenic and natural activities enter the river. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the pollution status by integrating conventional methods with benthic macroinvertebrates.

Neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus discharge synchronously in brain state-dependent manner to transfer information. Published studies have highlighted the temporal coordination of neuronal activities between the hippocampus and a neocortical area, however, how the spatial extent of neocortical activity relates to hippocampal activity remains partially unknown. We imaged mesoscopic neocortical activity while recording hippocampal local field potentials in anesthetized and unanesthetized GCaMP-expressing transgenic mice.
