Investigating the impact of poverty on mental illness in the UK Biobank using Mendelian randomization

Study on the Impact of Poverty on Mental Illness: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis Based on the UK Biobank This article aims to explore the causal relationship between poverty and mental illness. Although many studies have shown an association between low socioeconomic status and mental illnesses, most studies have failed to determine whether pov...

Identifying behaviour-related and physiological risk factors for suicide attempts in the UK Biobank

Research Background: Suicide is a global public health challenge, but there is still significant uncertainty regarding the relationship between behavioral and physiological factors and suicide attempts (SA). Previous studies often focus on limited hypothesized factors such as mental illnesses (e.g., depression), personality and psychological traits...

Prediction error processing and sharpening of expected information

Prediction error processing and sharpening of expected information

Scientific Report Background Introduction Perception and neuronal processing of sensory information are largely influenced by prior expectations. Perception is not merely passive reception, but an active inferential process by combining existing sensory information with prior information based on past experience and current context. The combination...

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans Navigation is one of the core components of human complex cognition, where head direction information is crucial for positioning oneself in space. However, due to the requirement of having the head fixed in a specific position during most neuroimaging experiments, understanding h...

Brain mechanisms underlying the emotion processing bias in treatment-resistant depression

Brain Mechanism Study on Emotion Processing Bias in Patients with Highly Treatment-Resistant Depression Background Introduction Depression is one of the mental diseases prevalent in modern society that severely affect individuals’ physical and mental health. According to Beck’s cognitive model, the development and maintenance of depression are larg...

The Neurocomputational link between Defensive Cardiac States and Approach-Avoidance Arbitration under Threat

The Neurocomputational link between Defensive Cardiac States and Approach-Avoidance Arbitration under Threat

Research Background Threat avoidance often comes at a cost, especially in situations involving threat-reward conflict, where avoiding threats might reduce the opportunity to gain potential rewards. In threat-reward conflicts, individuals need to balance the potential rewards and threat outcomes of their decisions to generate adaptive behavior. Howe...

Effects of a Single Night of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Spontaneous Brain Activity in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Effect of Single-Night Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by partial or complete closure of the airway during sleep. This condition leads to repeated ...

k-emophone: a mobile and wearable dataset with in-situ emotion, stress, and attention labels

Scientific Data Report | K-emophone: A Mobile and Wearable Dataset with On-site Emotion, Stress, and Attention Labels Background With the proliferation of low-cost mobile and wearable sensors, numerous studies have leveraged these devices to track and analyze human mental health, productivity, and behavioral patterns. However, despite the developme...

Modulating the Difficulty of a Visual Oddball-like Task and P3m Amplitude

Modulation of P3m Amplitude by Task Difficulty in a Visual Oddball Task Background In cognitive neuroscience research, Event-Related Potentials (ERP) and Event-Related Fields (ERF) are important means to explore the cognitive processing mechanisms of the brain. Among these, the P3 component (referred to as P3m in magnetoencephalography) has garnere...

Physiological Data for Affective Computing: The Affect-HRI Dataset

Application of Physiological Data in Human-Robot Interaction with Anthropomorphic Service Robots: Affect-HRI Dataset Background and Significance In interactions between humans and humans, as well as humans and robots, the interacting entity can influence human emotional states. Unlike humans, robots inherently cannot exhibit empathy and thus cannot...
