Environmental noise exposure partially accounts for the association between socioeconomic status and neural encoding of speech

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with variability in neural speech encoding as indexed by the frequency-following response (FFR), yet the mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly understood. Environmental noise exposure represents a plausible pathway, gi...

FT-IR–based strategy for Streptococcus pneumoniae serotyping using machine-learning classifiers

Rapid serotype identification of circulating Streptococcus pneumoniae is essential for both effective epidemiological surveillance and clinical management. The gold standard serotyping method (Quellung reaction) is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. Fourier transform...
