Objective.Accurate classification of pain levels is essential for clinical monitoring, particularly in clinical populations with limited verbal communication. This study explores the feasibility of decoding pain from EEG using explainable deep learni...
BACKGROUND: Psychiatric disorders are diagnostically challenging and often rely on subjective clinical judgment, particularly in resource-limited settings. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in supporting psychiatric diagnosis; ...
The perception and production of regular geometric shapes, a characteristic trait of human cultures since prehistory, has unknown neural mechanisms. Behavioral studies suggest that humans are attuned to discrete regularities such as symmetries and pa...
The thumb plays a crucial role in hand function, yet its proprioceptive abilities remain poorly understood. Here we quantified dynamic thumb localization ability, as well as how this ability adapts to a perturbation, in unimpaired participants. For t...
BACKGROUND: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving digital transformation and reshaping medical education in China. Numerous medical schools and institutions are actively implementing AI tools for case-based learning, literature ana...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major noncommunicable disease with a significant increase in prevalence, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The latest International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas (2025) reports that 11.1% of ...
