Overview of the FuseCodec speech tokenization framework. Input speech x is encoded into latent features Z, then quantized into discrete tokens Q(1:K) via residual vector quantization (RVQ). To enrich ...

Abstract: Cognitive neural prostheses offer a potential therapy for neural pathway damage by modulating neural activities of downstream cortical regions. Previous studies using reinforcement learning ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

Abstract: In this article, the encoding-decoding-based state estimation problem is investigated for a class of continuous-time nonlinear complex networks (CNs) subject to communication bandwidth ...

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world – and in particular, of feedback connections, which send ...

Jonathan Wosen is STAT’s West Coast biotech & life sciences reporter. You can reach Jonathan on Signal at jwosen.27. When Kulindu Vithanachchi’s phone lit up with an update from the National Science ...

Recent experimental findings suggest that the hippocampus, the brain region primarily associated with memory and navigation, actively reorganizes its neural patterns to anticipate future events.

This valuable study uses NAD(P)H fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to map metabolic states in the Drosophila brain. The authors reveal subtype-specific metabolic profiles in Kenyon cells and report ...

Computing is entering a period of fragmentation rather than convergence. As silicon scaling slows and energy costs climb, multiple alternative computing paradigms are emerging in parallel. Quantum ...

Mucosal immunity provides frontline protection at respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital surfaces, where secretory IgA and tissue-resident T cells such as TH17 limit colonization and early ...
