A Literature Survey on Potential Private User Information Leakage in Metaverse Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This survey explores potential privacy risks in the Metaverse, focusing on personal data inferred from virtual reality headsets embedded with passive brain‐computer interfaces (BCI). It reviews how age, gender, and ethnicity can be predicted using neurophysiological signals, (e.g., electroencephalogram). The survey also explores future threats from non‐

Survivorship of Individuals With Double Heterozygosity for Achondroplasia and Type 2 Collagenopathy
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Historically, double heterozygosity, or a diagnosis of two separate, dominant genetic conditions, was often thought to be lethal in individuals with autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasias. In previously published studies of individuals with dual dysplasia diagnoses of achondroplasia and type 2 collagenopathy, infants died of respiratory ...
