Integrating multimodal data and machine learning for entrepreneurship research
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Extant research in neuroscience suggests that human perception is multimodal in nature—we model the world integrating diverse data sources such as sound, images, taste, and smell. Working in a dynamic environment, entrepreneurs are expected to draw on multimodal inputs in their decision making.

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...
