Objective: Temporally extended signal space separation (tSSS) is a powerful method for artifact suppression in magnetoencephalography (MEG). Because tSSS first separates MEG signals coming from inside and outside a certain sphere, definition of the sphere origin is important. For this study, we explored the influence of origin choice on tSSS performance in spontaneous and evoked activity from epilepsy patients.
Methods: Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) were processed with two tSSSs: one with the default origin of (0, 0, 40 mm) in the head coordinate, and the other with an individual origin estimated using each patient's anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Equivalent current dipoles (ECDs) were calculated for the data. The ECD location and quality of estimation were compared across conditions.
Results: MEG data from 21 patients revealed marginal differences in ECD location, but the estimation quality inferred from goodness of fit (GOF) and confidence volume (CV) was better for the tSSS with individual origins. This choice affected IEDs more than it affected SEFs.
Conclusions: Individual sphere model resulted in better GOF and CV.
Significance: Application of tSSS using an individual origin would be more desirable when available. This parameter might influence spontaneous activity more strongly.

ConspectusIons are the crucial signaling components for living organisms. In cells, their transportation across pore-forming membrane proteins is vital for regulating physiological functions, such as generating ionic current signals in response to target molecule recognition. This ion transport is affected by confined interactions and local environments within the protein pore.

Background: Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a significant global health concern and vary in specific settings. Spain reported several annual deaths attributed to MDR bacteria, mainly carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales.
Objectives: We aimed to characterise the incidence and temporal trends of MDR bacterial infections or colonisations reported within the province of Granada (data from five hospitals), and to investigate factors linked to clinical vulnerability.
Emerging evidence suggests that inhibitory control (IC) plays a pivotal role in science and maths counterintuitive reasoning by suppressing incorrect intuitive concepts, allowing correct counterintuitive concepts to come to mind. Neuroimaging studies have shown greater activation in the ventrolateral and dorsolateral pFCs when adults and adolescents reason about counterintuitive concepts, which has been interpreted as reflecting IC recruitment. However, the extent to which neural systems underlying IC support science and maths reasoning remains unexplored in children.

This study evaluates three Machine Learning (ML) models-Temporal Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (TKAN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN)-focusing on their capabilities to improve prediction accuracy and efficiency in streamflow forecasting. We adopt a data-centric approach, utilizing large, validated datasets to train the models, and apply SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to enhance the interpretability and reliability of the ML models. The results show that TKAN outperforms LSTM but slightly lags behind TCN in streamflow forecasting.

Listeners with hearing loss have trouble following a conversation in multitalker environments. While modern hearing aids can generally amplify speech, these devices are unable to tune into a target speaker without first knowing to which speaker a user aims to attend. Brain-controlled hearing aids have been proposed using auditory attention decoding (AAD) methods, but current methods use the same model to compare the speech stimulus and neural response, regardless of the dynamic overlap between talkers which is known to influence neural encoding.
