Understanding Eye Alignment and Vergence in Parkinson’s Disease

Imagine trying to focus on two different things at the same time. That’s what it’s like for some people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who experience double vision, or diplopia. In this study, researchers used high-resolution video-oculography to examine how PD affects eye alignment and vergence, which is the ability to bring both eyes together to […]

Enhancing EEG-based Person Identification with Spatially Fused Functional Connectivity Network

Imagine a puzzle where each piece represents an electroencephalogram (EEG) channel, and when you connect the pieces, you uncover the unique identity of a person. Traditionally, EEG functional connectivity (FC) networks have been constructed by analyzing the statistical dependence between EEG channels without considering their spatial relationships. However, researchers have found that by incorporating the […]

White Matter and Alzheimer’s: Exploring Early Signs of Memory Loss

Imagine the white matter in our brain as a vast network of roads, transmitting signals and information. In the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, there is a specific area called the right cingulum that seems to undergo changes. Researchers have discovered that individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in the preclinical phase of Alzheimer’s may […]
