Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a significant impact on human life because of its pervasiveness across industries and its rapid development. Although AI has achieved superior performance in learning and reasoning, it encounters challenges such as substantial computational demands, privacy concerns, communication delays, and high energy consumption associated with cloud-based models. These limitations have facilitated a paradigm change in on-device AI processing, which offers enhanced privacy, reduced latency, and improved power efficiency through the direct execution of computations on devices. With advancements in neuromorphic systems, spiking neural networks (SNNs), often referred to as the next generation of AI, are currently in focus as on-device AI. These technologies aim to mimic the human brain efficiency and provide promising real-time processing with minimal energy. This study reviewed the application of SNNs in the analysis of biomedical signals (electroencephalograms, electrocardiograms, and electromyograms), and consequently, investigated the distinctive attributes and prospective future paths of SNNs models in the field of biomedical signal analysis.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can help camera-based remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) in measuring cardiac activity and physiological signals from facial videos, such as pulse wave, heart rate and respiration rate with better accuracy. However, most existing ANN-based methods require substantial computing resources, which poses challenges for effective deployment on mobile devices. Spiking neural networks (SNNs), on the other hand, hold immense potential for energy-efficient deep learning owing to their binary and event-driven architecture.

Anatomical studies have revealed a prominent role for feedback projections in the primate visual cortex. Theoretical models suggest that these projections support important brain functions, like attention, prediction, and learning. However, these models make different predictions about the relationship between feedback connectivity and neuronal stimulus selectivity.

Disruption of the blood supply to a limb in conjunction with active movement boosts muscle growth, aids in rehabilitation, and allows controlled exploration of the sensorimotor system. Yet, the underlying neuromechanical changes have not been observed in great detail. This study aims to report the acute neuromuscular effects of temporary blood flow restriction (BFR) through behavioral changes at the level of motor units (MUs) using high-density surface electromyography on the abductor digiti minimi muscle during 20 trapezoidal and sinusoidal isometric force tracking tasks (5 pre-BFR, 5 during BFR, and 10 post-BFR).

To date, various kinds of memristors have been proposed as artificial neurons and synapses for neuromorphic computing to overcome the so-called von Neumann bottleneck in conventional computing architectures. However, related working principles are mostly ascribed to randomly distributed conductive filaments or traps, which usually lead to high stochasticity and poor uniformity. In this work, a heterostructure with a two-dimensional WS monolayer and a ferroelectric PZT film were demonstrated for memristors and artificial synapses, triggered by in-plane ferroelectric polarization.

Gamma-band oscillations (GBOs) in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) play key roles in nociceptive processing. Yet, one crucial question remains unaddressed: what neuronal mechanisms underlie nociceptive-evoked GBOs? Here, we addressed this question using a range of somatosensory stimuli (nociceptive and non-nociceptive), neural recording techniques (electroencephalography in humans and silicon probes and calcium imaging in rodents), and optogenetics (alone or simultaneously with electrophysiology in mice). We found that (1) GBOs encoded pain intensity independent of stimulus intensity in humans, (2) GBOs in S1 encoded pain intensity and were triggered by spiking of S1 interneurons, (3) parvalbumin (PV)-positive interneurons preferentially tracked pain intensity, and critically, (4) PV S1 interneurons causally modulated GBOs and pain-related behaviors for both thermal and mechanical pain.
