There is this infamous DANCAVAS study [1] in which they ran cardiovascular screening on older population and found absolutely no benefit in doing so. Note that while the linked study claims there was a benefit to…

I am pretty sure you’re right, they are probably recording alpha waves, possibly combined with heart rate. Decoding limb joint movements from EEG scalp recordings is basically an unsolved problem (we can barely do it in…
There is quite a number of freely available EEG software for different paradigms (one such collection is MOABB - Mother of All BCI Benchmarks, and there’s a huge number of scientific articles). The biggest bottleneck…
But the 18th century artist who did portraits and wedding paintings is the today’s (wedding) photographer. Does it take less money to commission a single wedding photo rather than a wedding painting? Yes. But many more…
I assume you’re talking about another country, because in Denmark there was no general curfew under Covid (attendance to events might have required proof of negative COVID test or vaccination, but shops never did).
It’s intentional and requires quite a lot of focus. The original paper [0] mentions electrodes are placed over Broca’s area (speech production, translates words to mouth movements) and motor area (adjusts the mouth…
I find this distinction unnecessarily nitpicky in this context. A BCI can be implement using EEG as an input so yes, you can definitely make a BCI using PiEEG. 130dB SNR is also not too shabby for a low-cost device, I…
Grant application and advancement in scientific careers. As a junior researcher, you either publish in impactful peer reviewed journals or you don’t get your PhD. As a senior researcher, you either publish in impactful…

Not only does English get you by in most big cities, a fair amount of European citizens are multilingual and often it’s the neighbouring countries that people speak the language of.

In Denmark the situation is a tad different. A lot of immigrants of Middle Eastern descent have rather poor English and their Danish is much better (they need to be somewhat fluent in Danish in order to stay). Their…
While US has ratified the Universal Declaration of Human rights[1], I am not sure how binding it is. There are also two Conventions about statelessness that US has not signed, and maybe that’s why similar revocations of…
Abstract is not (only) the main finding of the study. It’s often a mini version of the article, with a background, methods, results and conclusion. The length of the abstract in the linked article is well justified, in…
Some extra context: EEG has poor spatial resolution, but great time resolution. It measures electrical activity. fNIRS has a great spatial resolution, but poor time resolution. It measures blood flow in specific parts…
I doubt that rabies has evolutionary developed to target dogs. It’s just a “happy” accident that dogs are so plentiful and can infect many other animals (until recently at least). If I had to guess I’d say rabies had…
No, that’s usually not how it works. People usually get called a conspiracy theorist for making claims not based on (scientific) evidence. Often conspiracy theorists are not experts in the field and cannot distinguish…
Hopefully this will never be the case. On the other hand it can be used to detect micro sleep in drivers and there it can save lives. So yeah, as with any tech you can use it for good or bad and you should not use it…
Most likely because they are de-facto monopoly, so they will take as much as they can.
I am not a CS student, but I do study in a field where computers, maths and clever algorithms play a big role (biomedical signal processing). Also I am not necessarily a good student - I care only somewhat about grades,…
Healthcare tech can be both, the latter is sometimes called biomedical engineering. Siemens is also known for the latter (development and selling of medical devices). Check Siemens Healthineers if you’re interested (I…
I read it the same way. The signal analysed comes from the sensorimotor cortex, so this is less “words you are thinking of” and more “words you are attempting to speak”.
Fitbit gives you a nice animation when you hit your goal and a star for that day in the history overview. Additionally, it’s great if you add a friend in the app to compete for the max steps in the last 7 days.
Do you maybe have an example or two at hand? I would be interested to read some.
