    If the smartwatch data isn’t precise enough to estimate energy expenditure, what data does your website use that is so much better? Also, how much better it is? How do we even know…

    There is this infamous DANCAVAS study [1] in which they ran cardiovascular screening on older population and found absolutely no benefit in doing so. Note that while the linked stu…

    I am pretty sure you’re right, they are probably recording alpha waves, possibly combined with heart rate. Decoding limb joint movements from EEG scalp recordings is basically an u…

    I find this distinction unnecessarily nitpicky in this context. A BCI can be implement using EEG as an input so yes, you can definitely make a BCI using PiEEG. 130dB SNR is also no…

    In Denmark the situation is a tad different. A lot of immigrants of Middle Eastern descent have rather poor English and their Danish is much better (they need to be somewhat fluent…

    Abstract is not (only) the main finding of the study. It’s often a mini version of the article, with a background, methods, results and conclusion. The length of the abstract in th…

    I doubt that rabies has evolutionary developed to target dogs. It’s just a “happy” accident that dogs are so plentiful and can infect many other animals (until recently at least). …
