Brain-to-brain coupling during handholding is associated with pain reduction

This study found that hand-holding between romantic partners during a pain experiment increased brain-to-brain coupling in the alpha-mu frequency band, primarily between the central brain regions of the person experiencing pain and the right hemisphere of their partner. This coupling correlated with both pain reduction in the target and empathic accuracy in the observer. However, it's important to note that the study has limitations due to sample size and demographics, limited EEG spatial resolution, the correlational nature of the data, and the potential confound of the sound cue used in the experiment.

Cortical activity upon awakening from sleep reveals consistent spatio-temporal gradients across sleep stages in human EEG

This study used high-density EEG to show that the brain awakens in a consistent sequence, starting in frontal areas and progressing towards the back. Low-frequency EEG changes in NREM sleep originate in a central "hotspot," while subjective sleepiness upon awakening correlated with specific EEG patterns in NREM but not REM sleep.

MetaFormer Is Actually What You Need for Vision

This paper proposes PoolFormer, a Vision Transformer architecture that replaces the attention mechanism with simple spatial pooling. Surprisingly, PoolFormer achieves competitive performance on ImageNet, object detection, and semantic segmentation tasks, suggesting the general architecture of Vision Transformers matters more than the specific token mixer used.

Reproducible brain-wide association studies require thousands of individuals

Brain-wide association studies (BWAS) need thousands of participants for reliable results, as effect sizes are smaller than previously thought. Sampling variability in smaller studies leads to inflated and often irreproducible findings, emphasizing the need for larger, well-powered studies in future BWAS research.

Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2016

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children aged 8 years in the US was 18.5 per 1,000 in 2016, higher than previous estimates. While no overall difference in prevalence was found between Black and White children, disparities persist in early evaluation and diagnosis for Black children, and Hispanic children continue to be identified less frequently.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2020

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among 8-year-old children in the U.S. was 27.6 per 1,000 (1 in 36) in 2020, higher than previous estimates. For the first time, ASD prevalence was lower among White children than other racial/ethnic groups, while Black children with ASD remain more likely to have a co-occurring intellectual disability.

Controlling for Participants' Viewing Distance in Large-Scale, Psychophysical Online Experiments Using a Virtual Chinrest

The study introduces the "Virtual Chinrest," a method for measuring viewing distance online using the blind spot. The method was validated in laboratory experiments and used in a large online study (N=1153) replicating previous findings on visual crowding, showing increased crowding with greater eccentricity and in individuals with dyslexia.
