Summary: This paper describes a new multimodal emotional dataset and compares human emotion classification based on four different modalities. The study shows that bootstrapping the biosensor signals can greatly improve emotion classification performance, while audio and image sequences of emotions can be better classified using LSTM.

Summary: Survival in natural environments requires animals to exhibit Reactive Adaptive Behaviour (RAB), which includes corticomuscular resonance, stimulus locked response, online motor correction, and action stopping. Remarkable similarities exist across these four types of RAB, suggesting they may be subserved by the same neural mechanism.

Summary: Birds have high metabolic rates during migratory flight, which can lead to physiological exhaustion. Oxidative damage is a feature of exhaustion, caused by an overwhelmed antioxidant defense system. Stopovers have been suggested to restore the oxidative balance during migration. However, this study found no evidence that oxidative balance affects stopover departure decisions.

Summary: The SEEGAtlas plugin for the IBIS system is introduced to semi-automatically locate electrode contact coordinates and label the tissue type and anatomical region. The agreement between visually identified contact coordinates and coordinates obtained by SEEGAtlas is 1.4mm. The plugin enables accurate analysis of intracranial EEG, even with suboptimal clinical imaging.

Summary: This study used radio telemetry to examine the upstream spawning migration behavior of anadromous brown trout in the River Isojoki, western Finland. The results showed that the movement activity of trout during the upstream migration and the location of spawning habitats were influenced by a hydropower dam and flow conditions. These findings highlight the importance of managing flow regimes and improving fishway efficiency to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on migratory fish populations in boreal river systems.

Summary: The Atlantic salmon population in the River Minho is at a critically low level due to compromised river connectivity and deteriorating climatic conditions. Research indicates that smolts suffer significant losses in the river, potentially due to predation by animals.

Summary: In this paper, a deep learning-based assessment framework is proposed to estimate individual VR sickness using VR videos and physiological responses. The framework extracts features from the content stimulus guider and the physiological response guider, and fuses them into a deep feature to effectively assess VR sickness.

Summary: This study developed a novel experimental paradigm that allows odors to dynamically participate in different stages of video-evoked emotions, and investigated the efficiency of olfactory-enhanced videos in inducing subjects' emotions. The results showed that olfactory-enhanced videos significantly outperformed traditional videos in emotion recognition and were more effective in evoking negative emotions.

Summary: In this study, the impact of different types of artifacts on the power of EEG signals recorded from the visual cortex was examined. It was found that neck strain, swallowing, jaw clenching, and wincing were the most disruptive artifacts for SSVEP.

Summary: Telemetric EEG recording with subdermal needle electrodes is a minimally-invasive method to study neurophysiology during anesthesia. This inexpensive system can simplify experiments on global brain phenomena during surgical anesthesia or disease. Using the OpenBCI Cyton board, we successfully extracted EEG features in mice undergoing isoflurane anesthesia and verified that higher concentrations of isoflurane resulted in increased BSR and decreased absolute spectral power, with no change in frequency distribution.

Summary: Semipalmated Sandpipers successfully utilize a variety of staging habitats in Atlantic Canada, and both adult and juvenile sandpipers show adaptability to diverse habitats in terms of their diet and metabolic measures. This finding is encouraging for sandpiper conservation in the region and emphasizes the need for stronger conservation measures throughout the area.

Summary: This research develops an objective pain assessment metric for children using a combination of electrodermal activity and video facial expressions. The results show that combining these two measures improves the classification of clinically significant pain from clinically nonsignificant pain in children.

Summary: This study conducted a series of real driving experiments to investigate the impact of driver fatigue on traffic accidents. The results showed that the upper trapezius at the 6th neck vertebrae is more sensitive to driver fatigue, and a discriminant model based on EEG and EMG signals achieved an accuracy of 90.92% in detecting driver fatigue. The study contributes to establishing standard locations for neck EMG data acquisition and provides a feasible method for discriminating driver fatigue in real driving tasks.

Summary: This review analyzes the latest research on the health effects of electromagnetic exposure on humans, with particular focus on the potential impacts of 5G technology. Most studies show no significant changes in cognitive performance, physiological parameters, or overall well-being, but variations in alpha wave strength have been observed. However, there is a lack of research on the health effects of 5G technology on cognitive performance, subjective symptoms, physiological parameters, and EEG in adults.
