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 […]

Understanding patch foraging strategies across development

Patch foraging is a near-ubiquitous behaviour across the animal kingdom and characterises many decision-making domains encountered by humans. We review how a disposition to explore in adolescence may reflect the evolutionary conditions under which hunter-gatherers foraged for resources. We propose that neurocomputational mechanisms responsible for reward processing, learning, and cognitive control facilitate the transition from […]
