POWER SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF EEG AS A POTENTIAL MARKER IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF SPAS...ijbesjournal
The detection and diagnosis of various neurological disorders are performed using different medical
devices among which electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most cost effective technique. Though
significant progress had been made in the analysis of EEG for diagnosis of different neurological
disorders, yet detection of cerebral palsy (CP) is not quite clear. This study was performed to analyze the
EEG power spectrum density (PSD) of spastic CP and normal children to find if any significant EEG
patterns could be used for early detection of CP. Twenty children participated in this study out of which ten
were spastic CP and other ten were normal healthy children. EEG of all the participants was recorded
from C3 C4 and F3 F4 regions following montage 10-20 system. The artifact-free EEG signals of 15
minutes duration was extracted for spectral analysis using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) algorithm
in MATLAB and power density spectrum (PSD) was plotted. The PSD revealed high intensity power peak
at frequency of 50Hz and smaller at 100 Hz, which was consistent for all healthy subjects. In case of
spastic CP children, high intensity peak at 100Hz were prominent and smaller peak was observed at 50Hz.
The high intensity 100Hz peak observed in the PSD of spastic CP patients demonstrated that this tool can
be used for early detection of spastic CP.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

Beauty and the Brain: Electrical
Stimulation of the Brain Makes You
Perceive Faces as More Attractive
Findings may lead to promising ways to treat and study neuropsychiatric disorders
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and—as researchers have now shown—in the
brain as well.
The researchers, led by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), have used a well-known,
noninvasive technique to electrically stimulate a specific region deep inside the brain previously thought to be
inaccessible. The stimulation, the scientists say, caused volunteers to judge faces as more attractive than before their
brains were stimulated.
Being able to effect such behavioral changes means that this electrical stimulation tool could be used to
noninvasively manipulate deep regions of the brain—and, therefore, that it could serve as a new approach to study
and treat a variety of deep-brain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, the
researchers say.
"This is very exciting because the primary means of inducing these kinds of deep-brain changes to date has been by
administering drug treatments," says Vikram Chib, a postdoctoral scholar who led the study, which is being published
in the June 11 issue of the journal Translational Psychiatry. "But the problem with drugs is that they're not location-
specific—they act on the entire brain." Thus, drugs may carry unwanted side effects or, occasionally, won't work for
certain patients—who then may need invasive treatments involving the implantation of electrodes into the brain.

www.caltech.edu/content/beauty-and-brain-electrical-stimulation-brain-makes-you-perceive-faces-more-attractive 2/3
So Chib and his colleagues turned to a technique called transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), which, Chib
notes, is cheap, simple, and safe. In this method, an anode and a cathode are placed at two different locations on the
scalp. A weak electrical current—which can be powered by a nine-volt battery—runs from the cathode, through the
brain, and to the anode. The electrical current is a mere 2 milliamps—10,000 times less than the 20 amps typically
available from wall sockets. "All you feel is a little bit of tingling, and some people don't even feel that," he says.
"There have been many studies employing tDCS to affect behavior or change local neural activity," says Shinsuke
Shimojo, the Gertrude Baltimore Professor of Experimental Psychology and a coauthor of the paper. For example, the
technique has been used to treat depression and to help stroke patients rehabilitate their motor skills. "However, to
our knowledge, virtually none of the previous studies actually examined and correlated both behavior and neural
activity," he says. These studies also targeted the surface areas of the brain—not much more than a centimeter deep
—which were thought to be the physical limit of how far tDCS could reach, Chib adds.
The researchers hypothesized that they could exploit known neural connections and use tDCS to stimulate deeper
regions of the brain. In particular, they wanted to access the ventral midbrain—the center of the brain's reward-
processing network, and about as deep as you can go. It is thought to be the source of dopamine, a chemical whose
deficiency has been linked to many neuropsychiatric disorders.
The ventral midbrain is part of a neural circuit that includes the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which is
located just above the temples, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), which is behind the forehead.
Decreasing activity in the DLPFC boosts activity in the VMPFC, which in turn bumps up activity in the ventral
midbrain. To manipulate the ventral midbrain, therefore, the researchers decided to try using tDCS to deactivate the
DLPFC and activate the VMPFC.
To test their hypothesis, the researchers asked volunteers to judge the attractiveness of groups of faces both before
and after the volunteers' brains had been stimulated with tDCS. Judging facial attractiveness is one of the simplest,
most primal tasks that can activate the brain's reward network, and difficulty in evaluating faces and recognizing
facial emotions is a common symptom of neuropsychiatric disorders. The study participants rated the faces while
inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner, which allowed the researchers to evaluate any
changes in brain activity caused by the stimulation.
A total of 99 volunteers participated in the tDCS experiment and were divided into six stimulation groups. In the
main stimulation group, composed of 19 subjects, the DLPFC was deactivated and the VMPFC activated with a
stimulation configuration that the researchers theorized would ultimately activate the ventral midbrain. The other
groups were used to test different stimulation configurations. For example, in one group, the placement of the
cathode and anode were switched so that the DLPFC was activated and the VMPFC was deactivated—the opposite of
the main group. Another was a "sham" group, in which the electrodes were placed on volunteers' heads, but no
current was run.
Those in the main group rated the faces presented after stimulation as more attractive than those they saw before
stimulation. There were no differences in the ratings from the control groups. This change in ratings in the main
group suggests that tDCS is indeed able to activate the ventral midbrain, and that the resulting changes in brain
activity in this deep-brain region are associated with changes in the evaluation of attractiveness.
In addition, the fMRI scans revealed that tDCS strengthened the correlation between VMPFC activity and ventral
midbrain activity. In other words, stimulation appeared to enhance the neural connectivity between the two brain
areas. And for those who showed the strongest connectivity, tDCS led to the biggest change in attractiveness ratings.
Taken together, the researchers say these results show that tDCS is causing those shifts in perception by
manipulating the ventral midbrain via the DLPFC and VMPFC.
"The fact that we haven't had a way to noninvasively manipulate a functional circuit in the brain has been a
fundamental bottleneck in human behavioral neuroscience," Shimojo says. This new work, he adds, represents a big
first step in removing that bottleneck.
