I am looking for new clinical studies using enhance brain waves to improve memory impairments and learning capabilities?
Relevant answer
Answer
An international team of researchers has found that modulating the number of specific brain waves in the thalamic region of experimental rats during sleep can enhance or weaken memory. This helps to understand the relationship between sleep and the process of long-term memory formation, from which patients with memory deficits may benefit.
The results were obtained by researchers at the Institute of Basic Science in Korea and the University of Tübingen in Germany, and the paper is published in the new issue of the American journal Neuron.
Like humans, sleep in experimental rats is divided into two states: fast-wave and slow-wave, with slow-wave sleep being associated with the organization and solidification of memory. During slow-wave sleep, neurons in different parts of the brain generate three brain waves, forming a "trio" of slow oscillations, spindle waves and ripple waves, with the focus of this new study being on spindle waves. Fusiform waves are generated by the thalamic reticular nucleus, with peaks occurring approximately every 7 to 15 seconds. Previous studies have found that the number of spindle waves is related to memory, and that if a lot of content is learned during the day, the number of spindle waves is higher at night while sleeping; older people and people with schizophrenia have fewer spindle waves. The researchers placed the experimental rats in cages and then administered electric shocks to make them fearful of the cages. The experimental rats were then divided into three groups and subjected to sleep experiments. The researchers used optogenetic techniques to stimulate the thalamus of the first group of lab rats to artificially increase the number of spindle waves and at a rhythm that matched the original brain waves. The second group was also stimulated with light, but the rhythm was disordered. The third group was the control group and received no stimulation. The next day, the experimental rats were returned to their original cages and the first group was too frightened to move 40% of the time, while the second and third groups only responded in this way 20% of the time. This showed that rhythmic artificial spindle waves enhanced the spatial memory of the experimental rats, while if the number of spindle waves was artificially reduced, the memory of the experimental rats would be weakened.

Question

How could we estimate optimal learning rate for machine learning model, if we realized from a gap occurs between validation and trainining graph. When epoch number increased, validation accuracy remained similar although model accuracy increased slightly (we concluded a local maximum exists)? We used a little learning rate, such as 0.000001, almost to skip the local maksimum. Could it be result of using number of layers in 3D-CNN model even we applied dropout. Do you have any idea or suggestion? All ideas are welcome and tanks to all.
Best regards,
Relevant answer
Answer
Respected professor,
you don't need to find ideal value for learning rate. I prefer to use greater learning rate and methods called ReduceLROnPlateau and EarlyStopping.
First reduce learning rate during fitting process and second stops when there are no progress. Monitor should be set on validation metrics.
I will give you example for keras model in python:
early_stopping = keras.callbacks.EarlyStopping(monitor="val_cosine_similarity",mode='max', patience=2,verbose=1,min_delta=0.0001)
reduce_lr = keras.callbacks.ReduceLROnPlateau(monitor="val_cosine_similarity",mode='max', patience=1,verbose=1)
You should add it to fit method like this:
history = model.fit(
X_train,
y_train,
batch_size=1,
epochs=30,
validation_data=(X_valid, y_valid),
callbacks=[reduce_lr,early_stopping],
shuffle=True,
)
If you want to go even further you could implement methods for finding minimum of functions where your function is ML model that accept value of learning rate and for example dropout value, and return loss value (i.e. mse) from validation or test dataset.
I'm using Particle swarm optimization form pyswarms library.

Looking at generations throughout history, there seems to be a stickiness of values and attitudes even despite great regime shifts. People seem to ride the new regime shift but not with real internalization.
Are the first 10 years of socialization so important and sticky that not much can be changed afterwards?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think that the impact of the first 10 years of socialization on values and attitudes is significant, but not necessarily permanent. Early experiences and relationships can have a lasting impact on how a person’s values and attitudes develop, but these patterns can still be altered throughout life. There are many factors that come into play when it comes to the stickiness of values and attitudes, such as personality, environment, and culture. People can be influenced by the environment around them and find that the values and attitudes they have developed in the first 10 years of their life are not necessarily the same across different contexts. Therefore, while the first 10 years of a person’s life can have a lasting impact on their values and attitudes, they are not necessarily set in stone and can still be modified over time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the greatest innovation over the world. Recently, I have experienced the chat function of AI. It can perform most of the tasks that one assigns. For example, write a column for some of the newspapers, write essays, perform the review of literature, answers to most of the assignments that a faculty can design using their creativity and similar. I've checked if it could answer some of the extremely complicated mathematical and technical algorithms that it didn't answer but I can guess that it will soon learn and update that too.
Considering this level of innovation and growth of the AI, how will faculties develop the assignments and/or how will they evaluate? Once all are familiar with this, I don't see any meaning of assigning weights for assignments as a component of evaluation. I did 20 different trials to check if it gives the same answer but it's a big NO! The AI is very creative and in all answers, the similarity index is less than 10% that was checked through turnitin platform.

What isself motivation?
Relevant answer
Answer
In recent years, the use of games and game-like activities has been increasingly explored as a potential tool for promoting learning and motivation, both in an academic and personal context, as well as in the field of psychology and psychotherapy. The term "gamification" is often used to refer to the integration of game elements, such as points, badges, and leaderboards, into non-game contexts in order to enhance engagement and motivation among learners.
Research has shown that games can be effective in facilitating the learning process, by providing an interactive and engaging way to acquire new skills and knowledge. For instance, in a language learning context, a teacher may use a game that involves matching words and phrases to images to help students learn vocabulary, which may include points for correct answers and a leaderboard that displays the scores of the top players in the class. Such game elements can provide students with a sense of competition and challenge, which can increase their motivation to learn the new words and phrases.
Similarly, in the field of psychology and psychotherapy, games and game-like activities have been used as a therapeutic tool for several decades. The use of games in therapy is often referred to as "play therapy" and can be used to help individuals of all ages, including children and adults, to address a wide range of psychological and emotional issues. For example, role-playing games can be used to help individuals practice new behaviors and social skills. Additionally, some games that are based on mindfulness and meditation practices can help individuals to reduce stress and improve their emotional regulation.
However, it is important to note that if games are not used appropriately, they may be detrimental to learning and motivation. Excessive gaming can lead to addiction, which can negatively impact mental and physical health, as well as academic and professional performance. Furthermore, if games are not well-designed, they may not effectively promote learning or motivation. Therefore, it is crucial that games be used in moderation and in combination with other types of learning activities, and that they are well-designed and align with the learning objectives or therapeutic goals.

I came across several papers that used scales to define a connection between Learning Outcomes (LOs) and the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), for example using terms like “high, medium, and low”; or scale like 1 for low to 3 for high. How can we define a strong connection of LOs and CLOs? Is it based on the weight of the assessment for that LOs? Or is there any precise definition for this?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Hans,
Personally, I think that there is no one universal definition for the connection between Learning Outcomes and Course Learning Outcomes. However, the best way to define a strong connection between them is to use a rubric or scale to assess the level of mastery of each Learning Outcome. Depending on the type of course, the rubric or scale can vary in complexity and detail, but should generally include criteria that correspond to the course’s expected Learning Outcomes. This allows both students and instructors to clearly assess how well students have achieved the Learning Outcomes and to better understand the overall performance of the course. Additionally, instructors can use the rubric or scale to track the progress of individual students and to measure the effectiveness of their teaching.

What are key challenges for decline of education at primary school level?
How can education sector use technology for help of teachers to improve learning?
Relevant answer
Answer
There are many challenges that can contribute to a decline in education at the primary school level. Some of the key challenges include:
  1. Lack of resources: Many primary schools, particularly in low-income or rural areas, may lack the resources necessary to provide high-quality education, including textbooks, educational materials, and technology.
  2. Poor teacher quality: The quality of primary school education can be negatively impacted by a lack of well-trained and motivated teachers.
  3. Large class sizes: Primary school classrooms with high student-to-teacher ratios can make it difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students.
  4. Limited access to education: Some children, particularly in developing countries, may not have access to primary education due to factors such as poverty, geographic isolation, or conflict.
  5. Socioeconomic factors: Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may face additional challenges in achieving academic success, such as inadequate nutrition, healthcare, or support at home.
To address these challenges and improve learning at the primary school level, the education sector can use technology in a number of ways. For example:
  1. Providing access to educational resources: Technology can be used to provide students with access to a wider range of educational resources, such as online textbooks and educational videos.
  2. Enhancing teacher training: Technology can be used to provide teachers with access to professional development opportunities, such as online courses and training materials.
  3. Supporting individualized learning: Technology can be used to provide students with personalized learning experiences, such as adaptive learning software that adjusts to the needs and abilities of each student.
  4. Enhancing collaboration and communication: Technology can be used to facilitate communication and collaboration among teachers and students, including through the use of video conferencing, messaging, and online collaboration tools.
  5. Improving assessment and feedback: Technology can be used to enable more frequent and detailed assessment of student progress and to provide timely feedback to teachers and students.

A few time ago, I found an article in which the teaching of heat was done by using a new (invented) word (not using heat) and the learning was similar than when teaching using the word heat. If I am not mistaken, it was used to make a point against the idea that familiarity with words is (always) favorable for learning (in science). I think it was not published in a physics/science teaching journal but in a journal about instruction or learning not specific to science. I'm though not sure of that.

The time domain quantification of metabolite signals was conducted using AMARES algorithm with custom prior knowledge.Metabolite concentrations were reported for tCr (creatine plus phosphocreatine), NAA (N-acetyl-aspartate), tCho (phosphocholine and glycerophosphocholine), Ins (myoinositol) and Glx (glutamate and glutamine). The AMARES prior knowledge model consisted of peaks for NAA, choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), glutamate + glutamine (Glx) and myoinositol (Ins). The amplitudes of NAA, Cho, Cr, Glx, and Ins peak were estimated by the algorithm. The relative phases of NAA, Cho, Cr, Glx, and Ins peak were fixed at 0. The linewidth of NAA was estimated by the algorithm, and the linewidths of the remaining peaks were set to be equal to that of NAA. The frequencies of NAA, Cho, Cr, Glx, and Ins peak were estimated by AMARES. All peak shapes were fixed at Lorentzian.

First of all, this assumes that your abstract is not only a case study. I assume that your chapter abstract takes up theorization of the topic, some sort of literature review, perhaps something about how the previous research could be improved by your views and your approaches and your methodologies ... in which case, your 'case study' becomes one section of a chapter that includes: introduction, theorization, previous research, a case study, discussion. Your 'case study' section has to be complete however - see guidelines for writing up a case study. Simply ensure that the necessary elements of such a 'complete' case study are included in the 'section' case study of your chapter. Make sure to have a couple of colleagues read your chapter before submission to give you feedback on how you balanced everything. Then go for it.

Hello,
what are the advantages of learning languages via video camera? Against the background of COVID-19, I have the impression that there is always general talk about online learning having certain advantages. However, I would like to know if there are any studies or papers that discuss exactly what influence, for example, zoom meetings have on language learning?
Thank you
Relevant answer
Answer
As an e-learning developer, we use the Moodle platform, which also uses Zoom as an educational resource, as it allows the storage, management, and reuse of educational content. One of the advantages offered by the e-learning training platform is the individualization of the learning process - each participating actor has his own assimilation of a rhythm and relies in the learning process on auditory memory quickly controlling their progress, benefiting from fast and permanent feedback.
Statistics show that 70-80% of educational material presented online is memorized through listening, viewing, and interactivity. Zoom is easy and efficient in the interaction between tutors and trained staff to understand the knowledge taught and received. In my opinion, the answer to using dynamic technologies like Zoom, including language learning, is real-time feedback.

Answer
Uniquely mapped reads are the only way to know for sure where a specific read came from. When you have ambiguously mapped reads, it's virtually impossible to know that. There's no specific number that works for all organisms, you should evaluate case by case since technical and biological factors will influence the % of ambiguously-mapped reads. There are several computational methods to handle these multi-mapped reads. I believe this paper will better answer all your questions on this topic:

In my opinion, In order for an innovation process to take place successfully, it is necessary to have certain preconditions: 1) a previous experience, 2) a capacity to perceive the new, 3) a need to create something new, and 4) a favorable social framework. Successful innovation means transforming new knowledge into economic growth, which implies developing systemic activities to value and commercialize the new scientific, technological, functional, organizational, and business knowledge. Also, in my opinion, a common element of all innovation processes (including teaching-learning-evaluation) is the change of one or more of the existing classical rules. If the rules are changed in accordance with the reality on the ground (either in the classroom or in business), then no matter how different the actors of the learning subject are, they will trust that this innovative way of approaching problems will lead to a successful outcome.

Half a century ago R.J.Havighurst published a book on developmental tasks. Are they still valid? What do we have to learn as humans during certain stages of development? Do the stages differ in lasting now? Which are shorter, which are longer? What we do not have to learn any more? Is there something new we should learn?
Relevant answer
Answer
I have worked in children´s narrative, discourse development, metacognition development and, shortly, in executive functions in children from different ages.
Given that, my answers are these:
(Developmental tasks) Are they still valid?
Yes. But more in specific domains and task, where you can limit the scope and expected change, evolution or development in some psychological processes.
What do we have to learn as humans during certain stages of development?
I believe that we must learn is more concentrated in early childhood, along some so-called “normative” influences and processes, like language, social interaction, world perception, and ways to organize our action in the world. In other more culturally dependent knowledge fields, levels of expertise and performance vary enormously among different people.
Do the stages differ in lasting now?
I am not sure that we can talk about “stages” in a strong sense (like in Jean Piaget's work, for example), but certainly we can talk about periods or phases, because many performances have gains compared with the previous ones, but in the same specific domains.
Which are shorter, which are longer?
It depends on what is found through research in different fields, domains, and processes, like in the previous answer.
What do we not have to learn anymore?
Maybe we have some nonsensible periods and aspects that tend to permanence instead of change (like, for example, some of them related to personality), but learning continues all life along, mostly in “non-normative” processes and influences.
Is there something new we should learn?
I don’t understand the question. We must study learning also, because it has some aspects like purpose-driven and instruction activities, which are important processes as well.

Answer
The standard for develoment is the ADDIE Model- Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.
However, the "best" methodology would require you to use each step to its highest potential with assistance from the "best" people for each area as your resources.
For instance...
Analysis Phase. The purpose of this phase is to determine the need. To do this, you need to identify:
  • the problem you are creating this for (what problem are you solving for/trying to change? What are the key issues that prompt you to intervene?),
  • the impact of your solution/product (what specific productivity issues do you see? How this this problem impact your consumer?), and
  • what success looks like (how will you know when you are successful?)
This is basically the gap analysis.
Then, once you have these sorted, you will have to relate them to the target audience in a bit more detail by identifying the specific Target Audience(s) your product is intended for and how your solution/product will influence them.
For this, you will need to identify...
Target Audience. Who will use it specifically? This about positions, roles, responsibilities, basic demographics, etc.
Improvements. Where are they currently and where do you want them to be (be very specific)? If it's training you're creating, this could be their related knowledge, skills, and abilities (current KSAs and target KSAs). If it's a product you are developing, list what the target audience is doing currently (and inefficiently) compared to how they will be doing this through your improvement/solution.
This summarizes your task/needs analysis.
For the last part, design your plan for how you will get your audience to the desired outcome by creating categories. These will be your objectives.
Objectives. Objectives will act as waypoints for the journey. It is recommended to use SMART objectives here as that will provide the most detail. This is one of the most vital areas because it focuses your design phase, giving it targets to reach.
Measurement. Next, how will you measure success? Think about the tools you could use to measure phases of implementation and what that measurement looks like. How accurate/to what degree is considered successful? What timing is involved. (Side note, a good SMART objectives will already have this information).
Obstacles. And lastly, list any obstacles that could get in the way of your proposed solution. Your obstacles will generally fall under two main categories (the target audience and your development) with multiple subcategories. For the former, think about pre-requisite knowledge/skills the target must have and their accessibility to your solution. For the latter, think about your content/product development and what could inhibit you.
Once all of this is complete you are ready for the next phase- Design.
Sounds like a lot, right? But don't worry. With the right Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) involved to help you with the need and content, you can pretty much design anything in any field. I've personally created solutions for areas as varied as Ford, the Girl Scouts of America, Amazon, Fulton Financial, Mircale Ear, and other major institutions in education, corporate tax, manufacturing, fashion, and small business. Each one used this process; each one was successful.
If you have any questions or need some resources to help get you started, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hello, I am a master student in Shandong Province, China. My research direction is image segmentation. I try to apply deep learning to image segmentation, but I have read a lot of literature and never understand the principle of deep learning, However, it is not always the case. What is the specific work of deep learning and what has been learned. If deep learning is a black box, how can we optimize it? How can we optimize a black box model to improve its accuracy? This is the question I have been wondering. If you don't know how to work, how to optimize the structure? I have read a lot of literature, but I just simply introduced the structure and gave a structure diagram and experimental results diagram. I feel this is unscientific. Hope to get your reply
Relevant answer
Answer
I think you shouldn't get too fixated on the "black box" term. That's just what people say because there're many params involved in most of the big models.
But the basic building blocks are often simple enough to get. I'd suggest to start with building very simple CNNs and RNNs. While doing so, try to really understand what individual components do. I'd highly recommend "Grokking Deep Learning". This book will guide you through building many popular architectures from the ground up.

The utility of computers, information/technology, math calculators, etc. has highly influenced formal education of all levels in the global community either positively or negatively based on the learning and teaching styles going on in the classroom environment. Also, globalization of formal education has highly influenced the teaching styles of teachers and the learning styles of the students in so many ways. . . . Good example of factors that may contribute to the decline in education and learning these days is: (1) Oftentimes, high school math teachers (9th-12th Grade levels) require their students to use math calculators only, instead of manually manipulating/solving/answering the math exercises and worded math problems in class esp. during math. tests/exams . . . to show off their manual skills in answering the given math test/exam/s. Usually this is a decision coming from the Math Department-Head. I observed this scenario while actively teaching in public high school.

It is assumed that this knowledge provides the intellect for the system together with the related computational reasoning mechanisms.
The systems considered here are intellectualized (smart) cyber-physical-social systems. An example for system acquired knowledge transfer can be deep transfer learning that has the following approaches: (i) instances-based (utilize instances in source domain by appropriate weight), (ii) mapping-based (mapping instances from two domains into a new data space with better similarity), (iii) network-based (reuse the partial of network pre-trained in the source domain), and (iv) adversarial-based (use adversarial technology to find transferable features that both suitable for two domains). As far as knowledge is concerned it can be both explicit (structured and formalized) and implicit (learnt information models or procedures). Not only learning, but awareness building, reasoning, planning, decision making, adaptation associated knowledge is interesting in the context of the question.

People who speak more than one language are generally referred to as being bilingual, but there are many ways in which a person can become bilingual. Some grow up learning two languages at the same time, others learn them sequentially so that the mother tongue is learned first and a second language is learned later. Thus, Do people who grow up speaking more than one language use more brain area for language processing? And, does the brain use more resources especially for languages of different structures?
Relevant answer
Answer
First language may be a source of a great discourse ever and as it is nurtured we are able to process basic and complex information. Thus, can use language extensively. Now, on the issue of Bilingual, to be bilingual you must possess mastery of another languages meaning you know deeply the roots, structures, and functions of language (sociolinguistics). According to a study, brain is elastic and flexible which can process inputs crucial for survival, it can process because it's what we think, it can process because it's what we want to, and it can work faster because it's a mechanism and mechanized to function.

2. Compare the models based on the complexity of implementation.

Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
What is the initial learning rate and at what stage the learning rate has saturated? For each of those models in the review?
First of all, I don’t understand why these questions are asked for systematic literature review paper as you may not run experiment for those models. If these issues are contribution points in your systematic review, you can still see some indicators from those works.
- Initial learning rate is usually a constant value like [0.1, 0.001, 0.0001, …] the authors must specify in their experiment setting section.
- Stage the learning rate has saturated: To answer this question there are many options, among which you can use the point where your models stop to learn or degrades learning. This point is usually extracted from the (1) accuracy/epoch curve àsaturation point is the point accuracy became constant or starts to reduce as the epoch increases (2) From the loss/epoch curveà saturation point is loss became constant or start to increase as the epoch increases. (3) it is rarely shown in papers we can get from learning decay plot.
Overall, the stage can be expressed in epoch for 1st and 2nd cases (starts to saturate at epoch 100), certain learning rate value for the 3rd case (if the work used dynamic learning rate starts to saturate at LR=0.001)
2. Compare the models based on the complexity of implementation.
You claim for explanation is correct. Without further details, this question is related to complexity in terms of parameter size and the number of flops. You can address this question (1) from the reviewed papers' model complexity if reported (2) given the input image dimension (channel X height X width) the works used, you can generate or calculate the complexity information for their proposed models. However, this technique cannot work for custom-designed models.
The sample code segment for parameter-related complexity is as follows.
import torch
from models import *
from models.customModel import modelClass
summary(model, input_size=(3, 224, 224)) # Image CXHXW channel, Height, Width
print("\n\n Trainable Parameters: {}".format(sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters() if p.requires_grad)))
# this will give you each conv layer number of parameters and the total number of parameters [ the higher the number, the more complex the model].
Finally, you can address the second question using generic logical explanations. For example, FCN < CNN(Lenet< vgg< gglnet< ResNet) <generative models<…<Transformers <<3D models or Single CNN backbone< Siamese backbone< multi-backbones
[Wish you the best of luck ]

  • Most newspapers couldn't pay the salaries of the employees.
  • Replacing face-to-face learning with the online one may be the only solution at these days of COVID-19. Is classical chalk-talk totally replaced with e-learning?
