If so, are our preferences and emotions, often deemed irrational, decoupled from these ‘ground-truth’ sensory experiences? We show why the answer to both questions is ‘no’. Brain function is metabolically costly, and the brain loses some fraction of the […]

Neuroscientists employ a range of methods and generate increasing amounts of data describing brain structure and function. The anatomical locations from which observations or measurements originate represent a common context for data interpretation, and a starting point for identifying data of interest. However, the multimodality and abundance of brain data pose a challenge for efforts […]

Colorectal polyp is an important early manifestation of colorectal cancer, which is significant for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Despite timely detection and manual intervention of colorectal polyps can reduce their chances of becoming cancerous, most existing methods ignore the uncertainties and location problems of polyps, causing a degradation in detection performance.
