Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify cortical loci for lower limb movements and their efficacy for individuals after stroke by Choi, Minseok, Kim, Hyun-Chul, Youn, Inchan, Lee, Song Joo, Lee, Jong-Hwan

“…Background Identification of cortical loci for lower limb movements for stroke rehabilitation is crucial for better rehabilitation outcomes via noninvasive brain stimulation by targeting the fine-grained cortical loci of the movements. However, identification of the cortical loci for lower limb movements using functional MRI (fMRI) is challenging due to head motion and difficulty in isolating different types of movement. …”

Missing Data by Jungs de Almeida, Alessandra, Klein, Lauren, D’Ignazio, Catherine

“…While some might refer to data that is literally absent, as in statistical approaches to missing data that attempts to interpolate what might fill in the gaps,1 others, such as the artist and educator Mimi Ọnụọha, take “missing data” to mean something more political — “something [that] does not exist, but it should.”2 In the same line as Ọnụọha, our definition of missing data refers to information that goes uncounted (or otherwise unrecorded), despite social and political demands that such data should be collected and made available. …”

A training algorithm and stability analysis for recurrent neural networks by Xu, Zhao, Song, Qing, Wang, Danwei, Fan, Haijin

“…Besides, the transient response of learning process of RNNs is a critical issue, especially for on-line applications. Conventional RNNs training algorithms such as the backpropagation through time (BPTT) and real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) have not adequately satisfied these requirements because they often suffer from slow convergence speed. …”
