Due to the ill-posed nature of source imaging, EEG/MEG source localization remains challenging, particularly for localizing deep brain activity and resting-state signals with low signal-to-noise ratios. Functional connectivity estimated by EEG/MEG is further affected by source-leakage, a spatia ...

Background: Victimisation has been associated with self-harm (with or without suicidal intent), but little is known about this association during young adulthood-a distinct developmental period. Further, not all individuals who experience victimisation will later engage in self-harm, suggesting ...

Purpose: External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a fundamental neurosurgical procedure for monitoring and relieving elevated intracranial pressure, yet catheter misplacement remains common, particularly during early training. Virtual reality (VR) simulation offers a scalable approach for procedural education. We present VIVIE, a standalone VR-base ...

Sleep involves widespread changes in neural activity, with distinctive oscillatory patterns emerging across frequency bands and brain regions. Characterising these dynamics is essential for understanding their functional roles in health and their disruption in sleep-related disorders. However, most work on healthy humans has used techniques with limited ...

Menstrual pain affects over half of menstruating adolescents, and there is a desire for accessible, adjunct treatments, such as behavioural health interventions in mobile health (mHealth) formats. To date, no mHealth apps for adolescents with menstrual pain have been designed with youth. Althou ...

Human body temperature has been shown to limit the antifungal efficacy of azoles; however, the precise mechanisms underlying this limitation remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we observed that short-term exposure (24 h) to human body temperature (37 °C), in contrast to 30 °C, significantly enhances the tolerance of Candida albicans to azol ...

Circulating sex hormone levels decrease in aging, influencing cerebrovascular health. Estradiol has been shown to support female vascular and brain health, though its effects across the menopausal transition remain unknown. Similarly, the influence of testosterone and other hormones in females is not clear. In males, testosterone is associated with posi ...

Background: Youths with disruptive behaviours (DB) and callous-unemotional (CU) traits experience significant impairments and impose substantial costs on families and society. Treatment outcome studies of current DB treatments highlight the need for tailored treatments. Identifying priority treatment targets that integrate empirical evidence with stakeh ...

Mounting evidence shows sex-based differences in sleep experiences and outcomes, including the prevalence of insomnia disorder. However, the impact of biological sex on brain oscillations during sleep remains poorly understood, especially in the context of insomnia disorder. This is a notable gap, given that neurophysiological aspects of sleep are assoc ...

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a novel soil and cement strengthening technique for civil and geotechnical engineering fields. Recently emerging is the use of MICP as a biological remediation strategy to immobilize contaminants, strengthen metalliferous waste, and sequester carbon dioxide from mining activities. MICP has a broad spec ...
