Introduction: Modern neurotechnology research employing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms within the so-called "AI for social good" domain contributes to improving the well-being of individuals with a disability. Using digital health technologies, home-based self-diagnostics, or cognitive decline managing approaches with neuro-biomarker...

During large-scale disasters, social support, caring behaviours, and compassion are shown to protect against poor mental health outcomes. This multi-national study aimed to assess the fluctuations in compassion over time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents (Time 1 n = 4156, Time 2 n = 980, Time 3 n = 825) from 23 countries completed online se...

Abstract—Brain-computer interface (BCI) and efficient machine learning (ML) algorithms belonging to the so-called ‘AI for social good’ domain contribute to the well-being improvement of patients with limited mobility or communication skills. We report preliminary results from a project focusing on developing a dementia digital neuro–biomarker for e...

Abstract— An efficient machine learning (ML) implementation in the so-called ‘AI for social good’ domain shall contribute to dementia digital neuro–biomarker development for early-onset prognosis of a possible cognitive decline. We report encouraging initial developments of wearable EEGderived theta-band fluctuations examination and a successive cl...

Neuromodulatory electroceuticals such as vagus nerve stimulation have been recently gaining traction as potential rehabilitation tools for disorders of consciousness (DoC). We present a longitudinal case study of non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in a patient diagnosed with chronic unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (previously...

Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented detrimental impact on mental health in people around the world. It is important therefore to explore factors that may buffer or accentuate the risk of mental health problems in this context. Given that compassion has numerous benefits for mental health, emotion regulation, and social rel...

Background Historically social connection has been an important way through which humans have coped with large-scale threatening events. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns have deprived people of major sources of social support and coping, with others representing threats. Hence, a major stressor during the pandemic has been a sense...

Abstract—We discuss the practical employment of a machine learning (ML) technique within AI for a social good application. We present an application for elderly adult dementia onset prognostication. First, the paper explains our encouraging preliminary study results of EEG responses analysis using a signal complexity measure of multiscale entropy (...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is a massive global health crisis with damaging consequences to mental health and social relationships. Exploring factors that may heighten or buffer the risk of mental health problems in this context is thus critical. Whilst compassion may be a protective factor, in contrast fears of compassion increase vulnerabi...

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) and Evidence-based practice (EBP) are sets of standards and procedures created to search, verify, and select up-to-date findings implemented by medical staff as a basis for decision-making process in a daily clinical practice. Despite efforts of scientists and clinicians, neurorehabiltiation is regarded as a difficult...

This chapter describes how people are connected to each other through a common system of encoding and decoding messages. Opening the European gate has made intercultural communication omnipresent, and this includes health care. Internationally-based tasks need new, culture-aware medical practitioners. The challenges, barriers, and solutions in the...

Communication is a very important part of the human activity on very many levels. Communication with the patient has become an important part of the personalized health care and it plays an important role in the diagnosis, and also at each stage of treatment and rehabilitation. Not always, however, you can realize a natural communication situation...

Cognitive robots constitute a highly interdisciplinary approach to the issue of therapy of children with developmental disorders. Cognitive robots become more popular, especially in action and language integration areas, joining the experience of psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers, and even engineers. The concept of a robot as a cognitive...

Recent demographic prognoses show tendencies toward a significant increase in the number of elderly people, especially in developed countries. This makes geriatric therapy, rehabilitation, and care difficult, especially with maintaining as long as possible the highest quality of life and independence in activities of daily living. Lack of specializ...

Altmetrics, as a new scientometric measure, shows the scholarly impact of a scientist and her/his social activity on social networking platforms. We analysed communication on ResearchGate within the group formed by Nicolaus Copernicus University different domains researchers. They share interest in information visualisation and form local collabora...

One of the most common questions in today’s cognitive studies is the one regarding embodied cognition. The answer to this question draws our attention to many factors, including bodily actions, which also work to embody cognition. With this in mind, enactivism is included in discussions of embodiment. In the current issue we present texts in which...

Analysis of social networks - is an innovative strategy in the study of social groups, in particular, their organizational structure. Similarly, analysis of scientific structure is based on co-citations count. One of the most important stages of both studies is to visualize the results with goal of clear, intuitive representation of objects (actors...

Praca prezentuje zarys nowego podejście do komunikacji zgodnego z metaforą podzielania (shared) i obejmują-cego zakres podzielania mentalnego (shared mind), podzielania motorycznego (joint action) oraz podzielania kulturowego (common culture). Analizy w tych zakresach uwzględniają kluczową zdolność intersubiektywności w wymiarze ewolucyjnym oraz ro...

W ważnej części wkładu Michaela T. Turveya do psychologii ekologicznej znajdują się rozważania nad koordynacją ruchu, w szczególności – w odniesieniu do środowiska. Propozycja ta pełni ważną rolę w początkach debaty nad kontrolą motoryczną, która to dziś ma znaczenie daleko szersze od pierwotnego, w tym dla kognitywistyki. Przed-stawiona została w...

A major part of Michael T. Turvey’s contribution to ecological psychology are reflections on the coordination of movement, in particular with regard to the environment. This suggestion plays an important role in the beginning of the debate on motor control, whose today’s meaning is far broader than the original one, including the field of cognitive...

Poczucie sprawstwa: wprowadzenie do badań w perspektywie interdyscyplinarnej* Wprowadzenie Problem sprawstwa należałoby w pierwszej kolejności naświetlić z perspektywy badań nad wolną wolą. W badaniach tych odróżnić bowiem można wolną wolę per se (bardzo trudna kwestia metafizyczna i moralna) od naszego doświadczenia i naszego przekonania, że mamy...
