Neural prostheses decode intention from cortical activity to restore upper extremity movement. Typical decoding algorithms extract velocity-a vector quantity with direction and magnitude (speed) -from neuronal firing rates. Standard decoding algorithms accurately recover arm direction, but the extraction of speed has proven more difficult. We show that this difficulty is due to the way speed is encoded by individual neurons and demonstrate how standard encoding-decoding procedures produce characteristic errors. These problems are addressed using alternative brain-computer interface (BCI) algorithms that accommodate nonlinear encoding of speed and direction. Our BCI approach leads to skillful control of both direction and speed as demonstrated by stereotypic bell-shaped speed profiles, straight trajectories, and steady cursor positions before and after the movement.

Currently, pain assessment using electroencephalogram signals and machine learning methods in clinical studies is of great importance, especially for those who cannot express their pain. Since newborns are among the high-risk group and always experience pain at the beginning of birth, in this research, the severity of newborns has been investigated and evaluated. Other studies related to the annoyance of newborns have used the EEG signal of newborns alone; therefore, in this study, the intensity of newborn pain was measured using the electroencephalogram signal of 107 infants who were stimulated by the heel lance in three levels: no pain, low pain and moderate pain were recorded as a single trial and evaluated.

In order to eliminate the impact of camera viewpoint factors and human skeleton differences on the action similarity evaluation and to address the issue of human action similarity evaluation under different viewpoints, a method based on deep metric learning is proposed in this article. The method trains an automatic encoder-decoder deep neural network model by means of a homemade synthetic dataset, which maps the 2D human skeletal key point sequence samples extracted from motion videos into three potential low-dimensional dense spaces. Action feature vectors independent of camera viewpoint and human skeleton structure are extracted in the low-dimensional dense spaces, and motion similarity metrics are performed based on these features, thereby effectively eliminating the effects of camera viewpoint and human skeleton size differences on motion similarity evaluation.

Employing advanced machine learning models, we aim to identify biomarkers for urolithiasis from 24-h metabolic urinary abnormalities and study their associations with urinary stone diseases. We retrospectively recruited 468 patients at Peking Union Medical College Hospital who were diagnosed with urinary stone disease, including renal, ureteral, and multiple location stones, and had undergone a 24-h urine metabolic evaluation. We applied machine learning methods to identify biomarkers of urolithiasis from the urinary metabolite profiles.

With the increasing number of space debris, the demand for telescopes to observe space debris is also constantly increasing. The telescope observation scheduling problem requires algorithms to schedule telescopes to maximize observation value within the visible time constraints of space debris, especially when dealing with large-scale problems. This paper proposes a practical heuristic algorithm to solve the telescope observation of space debris scheduling problem.

This study focuses on improving the performance of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for robotic control systems. The challenge lies in effectively reducing the impact of artifacts on raw data to enhance the performance both in quality and reliability. The proposed MVMD-MSI algorithm combines the advantages of multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) and multivariate synchronization index (MSI).
