BACKGROUND: Building visual encoding models to accurately predict visual responses is a central challenge for current vision-based brain-machine interface techniques. To achieve high prediction accuracy on neural signals, visual encoding models shoul...
The establishment of new therapeutic strategies for metabolic syndrome is urgently needed because metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by several disorders, such as hypertension, increases the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. One approach is...
Signal crosstalk within biological communication networks is common, and such crosstalk can have unexpected consequences for decision making in heterogeneous communities of cells. Here we examined crosstalk within a bacterial community composed of fi...
Diffusion plays a crucial role in many biological processes including signaling, cellular organization, transport mechanisms, and more. Direct observation of molecular movement by single-particle-tracking experiments has contributed to a growing body...
Subterranean termites live in large colonies under the ground where they build an elaborate network of tunnels for foraging. In this study, we explored how the termite population size can be estimated using partial information on tunnel patterns. To ...
Individual neurons can exhibit a wide range of activity, including spontaneous spiking, tonic spiking, bursting, or spike-frequency adaptation, and can also transition between these activity types. Manual identification of these activity patterns can...

Geolocators are a well-established technology to reconstruct migration routes of animals that are too small to carry satellite tags (e.g. passerine birds). These devices record environmental light-level data that enable the reconstruction of daily po...
Event extraction and annotation has become a significant focus of recent efforts in biological text mining and information extraction (IE). However, event extraction, event annotation methods, and resources have so far focused almost exclusively on a...

Due to its capabilities in analysing injury risk, the ability to analyse an athlete's ground reaction force and joint moments is of high interest in sports biomechanics. However, using force plates for the kinetic measurements influences the athlete'...
Biological phosphorus removal (BPR) is an economical and sustainable processes for the removal of phosphorus (P) from wastewater, achieved by recirculating activated sludge through anaerobic and aerobic (An/Ae) processes. However, few studies have sy...
