I imagine the word thickness represents the great number of (metaphorical) layers of a painting, since paintings are the reoccurring symbol to talk about art in this essay.

Thank you! That’s s very thorough explanation on the page you linked and the comment. I’ll certainly look into the app more in the future. Thanks again for taking time to explain and for making the app!

If the smartwatch data isn’t precise enough to estimate energy expenditure, what data does your website use that is so much better? Also, how much better it is? How do we even know it’s better? (I am not necessarily doubting it’s better, I

There is this infamous DANCAVAS study [1] in which they ran cardiovascular screening on older population and found absolutely no benefit in doing so. Note that while the linked study claims there was a benefit to screening (reduced mortalit

I am pretty sure you’re right, they are probably recording alpha waves, possibly combined with heart rate. Decoding limb joint movements from EEG scalp recordings is basically an unsolved problem (we can barely do it in lab with implants),

I assume you’re talking about another country, because in Denmark there was no general curfew under Covid (attendance to events might have required proof of negative COVID test or vaccination, but shops never did).

It’s intentional and requires quite a lot of focus. The original paper [0] mentions electrodes are placed over Broca’s area (speech production, translates words to mouth movements) and motor area (adjusts the mouth movements). It’s attempte

I find this distinction unnecessarily nitpicky in this context. A BCI can be implement using EEG as an input so yes, you can definitely make a BCI using PiEEG. 130dB SNR is also not too shabby for a low-cost device, I wonder how it compares

Abstract is not (only) the main finding of the study. It’s often a mini version of the article, with a background, methods, results and conclusion. The length of the abstract in the linked article is well justified, in my opinion.

Some extra context: EEG has poor spatial resolution, but great time resolution. It measures electrical activity. fNIRS has a great spatial resolution, but poor time resolution. It measures blood flow in specific parts of the brain.

I doubt that rabies has evolutionary developed to target dogs. It’s just a “happy” accident that dogs are so plentiful and can infect many other animals (until recently at least). If I had to guess I’d say rabies had evolutionarily targeted

Hopefully this will never be the case. On the other hand it can be used to detect micro sleep in drivers and there it can save lives. So yeah, as with any tech you can use it for good or bad and you should not use it for everything

I read it the same way. The signal analysed comes from the sensorimotor cortex, so this is less “words you are thinking of” and more “words you are attempting to speak”.

Fitbit gives you a nice animation when you hit your goal and a star for that day in the history overview. Additionally, it’s great if you add a friend in the app to compete for the max steps in the last 7 days.

I don’t think your article applies here - it seems Andrew Tate has created misogynistic content on each platform that banned him. The timing might be suspicious, but ultimately, TikTok banned Tate because of the TikTok content he made, Goog
