Words represent a uniquely human information channel-humans use words to express thoughts and feelings assign emotional valence experience. Work from model organisms suggests that assignments are carried out in part by the neuromodulators dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine. Here, we ask whether signaling these extends word semantics humans measuring sub-second neuromodulator dynamics thalamus (N = 13) anterior cingulate cortex 6) of individuals evaluating positive, negative, neutrally...

We propose a Bayesian covariate-dependent anti-logistic circadian model for analyzing activity data collected via wrist-worn wearable devices. The proposed approach integrates covariates into the modeling of amplitude and phase parameters, facilitating cohort-level analysis with enhanced flexibility interpretability. To promote sparsity, we employ an l_1-ball projection prior, enabling precise control over complexity while identifying significant predictors. assess performances on simulated...

The noradrenaline (NA) system is one of the brain's major neuromodulatory systems; it originates in a small midbrain nucleus, locus coeruleus (LC), and projects widely throughout brain.

Abstract Studies of cognitive processes via electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings often analyze group-level event-related potentials (ERPs) averaged over multiple subjects and trials. This averaging procedure can obscure scientifically relevant variability across trials, but has been necessary due to the difficulties posed by inference trial-level ERPs. We introduce Bayesian Random Phase-Amplitude Gaussian Process (RPAGP) model, for amplitude, latency, ERP waveforms. apply RPAGP data from a...

We propose a Bayesian hidden Markov model for analyzing time series and sequential data where special structure of the transition probability matrix is embedded to explicit-duration semi-Markovian dynamics. Our formulation allows development highly flexible interpretable models that can integrate available prior information on state durations while keeping moderate computational cost perform efficient posterior inference. show benefits choosing approach HSMM estimation over its frequentist...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a region of the brain that in humans involved production higher-order functions such as cognition, emotion, perception, and behavior. Neurotransmission PFC produces by integrating information from other areas brain. At foundation neurotransmission, extension at functions, are an untold number coordinated molecular processes involving DNA sequence variants genome, RNA transcripts transcriptome, proteins proteome. These "multiomic" foundations poorly understood...

In Italy, an HLA-matched unrelated donor is currently the primary when a HLA matched sibling not found for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Better outcomes require optimal matching between and recipient at least HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 loci; therefore, availability of donors important. The enormous polymorphism has always necessitated registries with large number individuals in order to be able provide well-matched substantial percentage patients. increase efficiency...

We propose to model time-varying periodic and oscillatory processes by means of a hidden Markov where the states are defined through spectral properties regime. The number is unknown along with relevant periodicities, role which may vary across states. address this inference problem Bayesian nonparametric assuming sticky hierarchical Dirichlet process for switching dynamics between different while periodicities characterizing each state explored trans-dimensional chain Monte Carlo sampling...

We propose a sparse vector autoregressive (VAR) hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) for modeling temporal and contemporaneous (e.g. spatial) dependencies in multivariate nonstationary time series. The HSMM's generic state distribution is embedded special transition matrix structure, facilitating efficient likelihood evaluations arbitrary approximation accuracy. To promote sparsity of the VAR coefficients, we deploy an $l_1$-ball projection prior, which combines differentiability with positive...
