The prediction of Alzheimer’s disease through multi-trait genetic modeling

Imagine building a puzzle that requires you to combine puzzle pieces from multiple sets. In the quest to better understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD), scientists have developed a joint genetic score called MetaGRS. They integrated genetic information from AD and 24 other traits, analyzing data from two independent cohorts. When compared to the traditional AD genetic […]

Revolutionizing Time Series Prediction with Granular Computing

In the age of Big Data and the Internet of Things, the vast amount of time series data presents unique challenges for classification, correlation rule mining, and prediction. Traditional methods struggle to handle the complex characteristics of these large-sample time series data, such as high dimensionality, non-linearity, and burstiness. This is where granular computing comes […]

Explore the Brain Symphony: Understanding Interpersonal Neural Synchronization!

Imagine the brain as a symphony orchestra, where each musician represents a different part of the brain. But what happens when two musicians play together? That’s what scientists are trying to understand through interpersonal neural synchronization (INS). In this study, researchers analyzed the brain activity of two violinists playing duets using a technique called hyperscanning […]
