Distinct developmental changes in linear and nonlinear neural interactions across infancy and adulthood

This study examines how linear and nonlinear brain connectivity changes with age during social interactions, finding that nonlinear measures better capture developmental differences in neural processing.

A Pose-Informed De-Noising Diffusion Model for Adult Naturalistic EEG Signals

This paper introduces a denoising diffusion model for EEG signals that uses pose coordinates to improve denoising performance and maintain spatial dependencies.

Principles for Optimal Window Size Selection for Infant and Adult EEG Connectivity Analysis

This paper examines optimal window size selection for EEG connectivity analysis in infants, adults, and dyadic pairs, finding that optimal sizes vary depending on the metric and dataset.

Memory reactivation in slow wave sleep enhances relational learning

This study shows that targeted memory reactivation during slow wave sleep enhances inferential thinking in a transitive inference task, particularly when applied during the Up-phase of the slow oscillation.

Emotional valence modulates the topology of the parent-infant inter-brain network

This study examines how emotional valence affects parent-infant inter-brain network topology using dual-EEG data during social interactions.

Parental neural responsivity to infants visual attention: how mature brains scaffold immature brains during social interaction.

This study examines how parental neural responsivity to infants' visual attention influences infant attention during solo and joint play.

Identification of Memory Reactivation during Sleep by EEG Classification

This paper develops a machine learning method to detect memory reactivation during sleep using EEG data and finds it is more effective in slow wave sleep than stage 2.
