Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Neural signatures of temporal anticipation in human cortex represent event probability density

Nature Communications
Temporal prediction is a fundamental function of neural systems. Recent results show that humans anticipate future events by calculating probability density functions, rather than hazard rates.

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Large language models predict human sensory judgments across six modalities

Scientific Reports
Determining the extent to which the perceptual world can be recovered from language is a longstanding problem in philosophy and cognitive science. We show that state-of-the-art large language models can unlock new insights into this problem by providing ...

Proposing a Framework to Center Justice in Ambitious Science Teaching

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Though educators and researchers have developed shared theory and language for priorities necessary to disrupt the status quo toward more equitable science education, we lack a tool that organizes sets of teaching practices across an instructional unit to support enactment and rehearsal.

(In)justice in Smart Cities: Barriers and an Integrative Framework for Solution Pathways From a Global Perspective

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.
