Contrastive Learning Network based on Multi-Scale Transformer (CLMT-net): EEG decoding for fine-grained motor imagery of movements within the same limb

Motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) decode EEG signals into control commands. However, fine-grained MI decoding within the same limb remains challenging due to highly similar neural patterns. This paper proposes a Contrastive Learning Network based on a Mult...

The Search for Life Elsewhere: Avoiding Hype and Fostering Public Understanding

The search for life beyond Earth presents unique challenges for science communication due to its interdisciplinary nature, the potential for groundbreaking discoveries, and the inherent uncertainties involved. The Lorentz Center workshop Breaking News: We Found Extraterrestrial L...

A winding number analysis of Schwarzschild black hole stability in light of Planck-scale modified kinematics

Abstract Determining whether Planck-scale effects can stabilize black holes addresses fundamental questions about black hole evaporation and quantum gravity consistency. Here, we analyze the thermodynamic topology ofSchwarzschild black holes under Planck-scale modified kinematics...

Detailed study of non-equilibrium characteristics of quasi-neutral TNSA plasmas

In an experiment performed in November 2022 at the petawatt (PW) laser facility at Vega III located in Salamanca-Spain, we have studied the successful production of several radioisotopes using protons accelerated by the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) mechanism (Rodrigue...

Alternating-chiral charge density waves and associated spin polarization in monolayered NbTe2

Intertwining of different quantum degrees of freedom manifests exotic quantum phenomena in many-body systems, especially in reduced dimensionality. Here we show that monolayered NbTe2 serves as a promising platform where lattice, charge, and spin degrees of freedom manifest coope...
