In recent years, advancements in digital processing have facilitated the transformation of data into sound, a process referred to as . To raise awareness and understanding of climate change, various sonification endeavors utilizing Earth science data have surfaced; nevertheless, the outcomes frequently deviate from conventional music compositions. This backstory aims to examine the possibilities and limitations of sonification by composing music based on Earth observation data with intentional and staged intervention of arrangements by a composer, presenting the music composition results and presenting the feedback and discussions raised by the audience.

Background: In STREAM-1 (Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction), excess intracranial hemorrhage occurred in patients aged ≥75 years receiving full-dose tenecteplase as part of a pharmaco-invasive strategy, whereas no further intracranial hemorrhage occurred after halving the tenecteplase dose. In STREAM-2 (Second Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction), half-dose tenecteplase was an effective and safe pharmaco-invasive strategy in older patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction presenting within <3 hours, compared with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We prespecified evaluating the efficacy and safety of a half-dose versus full-dose pharmaco-invasive strategy and compared the half-dose pharmaco-invasive strategy to primary PCI in patients aged ≥75 years.

Beauty judgments are common in daily life, but rarely studied in cognitive neuroscience. Here, in three studies, we searched for the neural mechanisms of musical beauty using a naturalistic free-listening paradigm applied to behavioral and neuroimaging recordings and validated by experts' judgments. In Study 1, 30 adults continuously rated the perceived beauty of three musical pieces using a motion sensor.

Recent years have seen formidable advances in artificial intelligence. Developments include a large number of specialised systems either existing or planned for use in scientific research, data analysis, translation, text production and design with grammar checking and stylistic revision, plagiarism detection, and scientific review in addition to general-purpose AI systems for searching the internet and generative AI systems for texts, images, videos, and musical compositions. These systems promise more ease and simplicity in many aspects of work.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with advanced cancer may experience a heightened risk for existential distress. Addressing AYAs' hopes can stimulate a dialogue about their concerns, values, and goals, provide a path to holistically support their existential needs, and potentially alleviate their distress. This study aimed to evaluate hope's role in a sample of AYAs living with advanced cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the genetic links between musical rhythm traits and language-related traits, particularly dyslexia, using data from large genetic samples.
  • Researchers found 16 genetic regions that contribute to both rhythm impairment and dyslexia, indicating a shared biological foundation.
  • The study suggests that the neural connections related to both rhythm and language processing may be influenced by genetics, offering insights into the evolutionary connections between music and language.
