Published: February 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic not only challenged deeply-rooted daily patterns but also put a spotlight on the role of computational modeling in science and society. Amid the impromptu upheaval of in-person education across the world, this article aims to articulate the need to train students in computational and systems biology using research-grade technologies.

Background: Brain-computer interface (BCI) offers promising solutions to cognitive enhancement in older people. Despite the clear progress received, there is limited evidence of BCI implementation for rehabilitation. This systematic review addresses BCI applications and challenges in the standard practice of EEG-based neurofeedback (NF) training in healthy older people or older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) primarily involves suppression of androgen receptor (AR) activity using androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs). While ARSIs have extended patient survival, resistance inevitably develops. Mechanisms of resistance include genomic aberrations at the AR locus that reactivate AR signaling or lineage plasticity that drives emergence of AR-independent phenotypes.

Novel AIRTrode-based wearable electrode supports long-term, online brain-computer interface operations.

Non-invasive electroencephalograms (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) play a crucial role in a diverse range of applications, including motor rehabilitation, assistive and communication technologies, holding potential promise to benefit users across various clinical spectrums. Effective integration of these applications into daily life requires systems that provide stable and reliable BCI control for extended periods. Our prior research introduced the AIRTrode, a self-adhesive (A), injectable (I), and room-temperature (RT) spontaneously-crosslinked hydrogel electrode (AIRTrode).

Organophosphate (OP) toxicants remain an active threat to public health and to warfighters in the military. Current countermeasures require near immediate administration following OP exposure and are reported to have controversial efficacies. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) fused to the human immunoglobulin 1 (IgG1) Fc domain (AChE-Fc) is a potential bioscavenger for OP toxicants, but a reproducible AChE-Fc biomanufacturing strategy remains elusive.

Evaluation of consumer-grade wireless EEG systems for brain-computer interface applications.

School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Handong Global University, Pohang, 37554 Republic of Korea.

With the growing popularity of consumer-grade electroencephalogram (EEG) devices for health, entertainment, and cognitive research, assessing their signal quality is essential. In this study, we evaluated four consumer-grade wireless and dry-electrode EEG systems widely used for brain-computer interface (BCI) research and applications, comparing them with a research-grade system. We designed an EEG phantom method that reproduced µV-level amplitude EEG signals and evaluated the five devices based on their spectral responses, temporal patterns of event-related potential (ERP), and spectral patterns of resting-state EEG.
