A study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain finds that patients with new daily persistent headache have changes in brain morphology and abnormal cortical neural activity. This may help develop new treatment strategies for such patients.
The sample size was determined based on the available data and previous literature. Assuming no negative correlation between endpoints, a sample size of 65 cases would provide 85% power to reject the null hypothesis equal means at a two-sided alpha of 0.05. IBM SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the statistical analysis. Mean ± standard deviation and median with interquartile range were described as the normally and non-normally distributed data, respectively.
01 for initial vertex-wise comparisons. To correct for multiple comparisons, a Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 times was performed. Only the cluster with a continuous extent of 100 vertices and a significance threshold of P < 0.05 in the cluster level were reported. The independent sample t-test was used to compare the power spectral density of the MEG sensor between groups, and FDR correction was performed.

Brain activity decoder can reveal stories in people's mindsA new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity—while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story—into a continuous stream of text. The system developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin might help people who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak, such as those debilitated by strokes, to communicate intelligibly again.
