How to communicate with patients who cannot communicate?
This is the seemingly paradoxical problem researchers are currently trying to solve, using various approaches, from clinical diagnosis with tailored scales to brain-computer interfaces to directly communicate with the brain of patients who cannot express by themselves.
Initially presented at University Descartes Paris 5 for the Master BIN, using previous works from Quentin Noirhomme and Georgios Antonopoulos.
The risk of cognitive impairment assosiated with congenital deafness in child...MaritLobben
Overall poor performance of cognitive and behavioral skills are predictors of poor language skills and vice versa: we need to realise that language, perception, thought, and problem-solving constitute a continuum of interdependent functions.
Some refer to this as polymodal development of the sensory apparatus, as the developing trend in typically developing individuals (Bailey, 2002).
Sensory input participates not only in a simple additive way but also has a reciprocal influence in that it modulates synergistically the unyielding of neural networks.
This is probably why children with deafness exhibit subtle differences from hearing subjects also in functions that seem far removed from the auditory function, such as visuomotor integration or abstract thinking.
From a neuroscientific perspective, this is an interesting demonstration in relation to the extent of the role of hearing in the building of neural networks that result from sensorimotor exposure and practice.

publication description
The reconciliation of our physical models of 'time 'or 'space/time' with the human experience may be traced Leibnitz, through, Emmanuel Kant, and reached a dramatic climax in a very public argument between Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson in 1922; two of the most famous people of their day.
Henri Bergson's philosophical analysis of phenomenal time, he argued,
demonstrated that Einstein's vision of the structure of space/time consequent upon relativity (sometimes referred to as the block model) could not be correct.
At the time, Einstein was judged to have won the argument, however, subsequent thinkers have argued that Einstein never really addressed the issue. In this respect, his two famous remarks, in response to Bergson's argument are telling:
"The Time of the philosophers is dead"
and " a stubbornly persistent illusion"
The matter has never been resolved and every or so the argument resurfaces in the form an article or book.
The Tucson conference paper presented an original thought experiment that demonstrated clearly that there was a seeming intractable problem. However,
presented at Tucson was a potential solution to the problem, that demonstrated that both Bergson's phenomenal time and Einsteins space/ time could be reconciled, but only if the neutral correlate of consciousness is a quantum coherent state.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
