Background: With the arrival of the new generation of artificial intelligence wave, new human-robot interaction technologies continue to emerge. Brain-computer interface (BCI) offers a pathway for state monitoring and interaction control between human and robot. However, the unstable mental state reduce the accuracy of human brain intent decoding, and consequently affects the precision of BCI control.

New Methods: This paper proposes a hybrid BCI-based shared control (HB-SC) method for brain-controlled robot navigation. Hybrid BCI fuses electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) for mental state monitoring and interactive control to output human perception and decision. The shared control based on multi-sensory fusion integrates the special obstacle information perceived by humans with the regular environmental information perceived by the robot. In this process, valid BCI commands are screened by mental state assessment and output to a layered costmap for fusion.

Results: Eight subjects participated in the navigation experiment with dynamically changing mental state levels to validate the effects of a hybrid brain-computer interface through two shared control modes. The results show that the proposed HB-SC reduces collisions by 37.50 %, improves the success rate of traversing obstacles by 25.00 %, and the navigation trajectory is more consistent with expectations.

Conclusions: The HB-SC method can dynamically and intelligently adjust command output according to different brain states, helping to reduce errors made by subjects in a unstable mental state, thereby greatly enhancing the system's safety.

An increasing number of treatment guidelines recommend rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, data on the association between rapid ART initiation and alterations in brain structure and function remain limited in people with HIV (PWH). A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) undergoing ART.

Background: Treatment of stimulant offenders in Japan is an urgent issue. One of the more recent support approaches for stimulant offenders in Japan is to understand and support them based on a self-medication hypothesis; however, the effect of trust on substance abuse severity among incarcerated stimulant offenders has not been examined. Additionally, while accounting for gender differences is essential when providing support for them, these differences have not also been examined.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is defined by heterogeneous and resilient cell populations that closely reflect neurodevelopmental cell types. Although it is clear that GBM echoes early and immature cell states, identifying the specific developmental programmes disrupted in these tumours has been hindered by a lack of high-resolution trajectories of glial and neuronal lineages. Here we delineate the course of human astrocyte maturation to uncover discrete developmental stages and attributes mirrored by GBM.

The gut-brain axis underlying hepatic encephalopathy in liver cirrhosis.

Microbiome Medicine Center, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Up to 50-70% of patients with liver cirrhosis develop hepatic encephalopathy (HE), which is closely related to gut microbiota dysbiosis, with an unclear mechanism. Here, by constructing gut-brain modules to assess bacterial neurotoxins from metagenomic datasets, we found that phenylalanine decarboxylase (PDC) genes, mainly from Ruminococcus gnavus, increased approximately tenfold in patients with cirrhosis and higher in patients with HE. Cirrhotic, not healthy, mice colonized with R.
