Toward Effective Learning Environment: Barriers of E-Learning Among Undergraduate Medical Students During COVID-19 Pandemic in a Developing Country

Toward Effective Learning Environment: Barriers of E-Learning Among Undergraduate Medical Students During COVID-19 Pandemic in a Developing Country in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

Background: At March 2020 there was great disruption of learning environment at medical schools in Egypt.COVID-19 pandemic leads to closure of all medical schools and sudden shift to exclusive e-learning. Although e-learning has its epidemiological benefits during this crisis, many barriers were encountered by medical students thathinder the learning environment to be effective.

This study aimed: to identify the barriers of exclusive e-learning mong medical students at Tanta University, Egypt, which could portray barriers in medical schools of developing countries. A cross-sectional survey was targeting the undergraduate medical students at Tanta University from1st to 6th academic years. The data were collected from 10th October through 14th November 2020 using a semi-structured online questionnaire. The respondents were 1137 students with a mean age of 20.9± 1.5 years. Females constituted 72.6% of the participants and 48.7% were from low-income families. More than half (59.7%) of participant students mostly use smartphone for e- learning. This study showed high magnitude of barriers’ perception where the overall mean score of students’ barrier perceptions toward e-learning was 69.46± 12.33 and only 27.7% of the participants prefer it. The barriers were multifactorial and interrelated. They include technological and infrastructure barriers, pedagogical, personal, sociodemographic and financial barriers.

Conclusion: The high magnitude of barrier perception indicated an urgent need to overcome them and create a more effective learning environment.

"An international research team has found almost a million potential sources of antibiotics in the natural world.

Research published in the journal Cell by a team including Queensland University of Technology (QUT) computational biologist Associate Professor Luis Pedro Coelho has used machine learning to identify 863,498 promising antimicrobial peptides -- small molecules that can kill or inhibit the growth of infectious microbes.

The findings of the study come with a renewed global focus on combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as humanity contends with the growing number of superbugs resistant to current drugs.

"There is an urgent need for new methods for antibiotic discovery," Professor Coelho, a researcher at the QUT Centre for Microbiome Research, said. The centre studies the structure and function of microbial communities from around the globe.

"It is one of the top public health threats, killing 1.27 million people each year." ...

"Using artificial intelligence to understand and harness the power of the global microbiome will hopefully drive innovative research for better public health outcomes," he said.

The team verified the machine predictions by testing 100 laboratory-made peptides against clinically significant pathogens. They found 79 disrupted bacterial membranes and 63 specifically targeted antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

"Moreover, some peptides helped to eliminate infections in mice; two in particular reduced bacteria by up to four orders of magnitude," Professor Coelho said.

In a preclinical model, tested on infected mice, treatment with these peptides produced results similar to the effects of polymyxin B -- a commercially available antibiotic which is used to treat meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis and urinary tract infections.

More than 60,000 metagenomes (a collection of genomes within a specific environment), which together contained the genetic makeup of over one million organisms, were analysed to get these results. They came from sources across the globe including marine and soil environments, and human and animal guts.

The resulting AMPSphere -- a comprehensive database comprising these novel peptides -- has been published as a publicly available, open-access resource for new antibiotic discovery.

UK researchers find Alzheimer’s-like brain changes in long COVID patients - Published Aug 30, 2024

LEXINGTON, Ky (Aug. 30, 2024) — New research from the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging shows compelling evidence that the cognitive impairments observed in long COVID patients share striking similarities with those seen in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

The study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, highlights a potential commonality in brain disorders across these conditions that could pave the way for new avenues in research and treatment.

The study was a global effort, funded by a multitude of grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the Alzheimer’s Association and international organizations. The project also brought together experts from various fields of neuroscience.

Researchers at the UK College of Medicine led the study, including Yang Jiang, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Behavioral Science; Chris Norris, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences; and Bob Sompol, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences. Their work focuses on electrophysiology, neuroinflammation, astrocytes and synaptic functions.

“This project benefited greatly from interdisciplinary collaboration,” Jiang said. “We had input from experts, associated with the Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART), across six countries, including the U.S., Turkey, Ireland, Italy, Argentina and Chile.”

Jiang and the collaborative team focused their work on understanding the “brain fog” that many COVID-19 survivors experience, even months after recovering from the virus. This fog includes memory problems, confusion and difficulty concentrating. According to Jiang, “the slowing and abnormality of intrinsic brain activity in COVID-19 patients resemble those seen in Alzheimer’s and related dementias.”

This research sheds light on the connection between the two conditions, suggesting that they may share underlying biological mechanisms. Both long COVID and Alzheimer’s disease involve neuroinflammation, the activation of brain support cells known as astrocytes and abnormal brain activity. These factors can lead to significant cognitive impairments, making it difficult for patients to think clearly or remember information.

The idea that COVID-19 could lead to Alzheimer’s-like brain changes is a significant development.

“People don’t usually connect COVID-19 with Alzheimer’s disease,” Jiang said, “but our review of emerging evidence suggests otherwise.”

The publication in Alzheimer’s & Dementia reveals that the cognitive issues caused by COVID-19 reflect similar underlying brain changes as those in dementia.

The study’s insights emphasize the importance of regular brain function check-ups for these populations, particularly through the use of affordable and accessible tools like electroencephalography (EEG).

The study not only highlights the shared traits between long COVID and Alzheimer’s, but also points to the importance of further research.

“The new insight opens avenues for future research and clinical practice, particularly in studying brain oscillations related to neural biomarkers of mild cognitive impairment in people with long COVID,” said Jiang.

One of the key findings is the role of astrocytes — support cells in the brain that have not been as thoroughly studied as neurons. The research suggests that damage or activation of these cells by COVID-19 can cause synaptic dysfunctions, leading to the abnormal brain activity observed in both conditions. This discovery is significant because it may help explain why EEG patterns in COVID-19 patients resemble those seen in the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Researchers believe this work could have a direct impact on patient care. They are advocating for routine EEG exams to detect early brain changes in both COVID-19 survivors and those at risk for cognitive decline.

“EEG patterns in COVID-19 patients resemble those seen in early neurodegenerative diseases,” said Norris.

“These similarities may be due to shared issues such as brain inflammation, astrocyte activity, low oxygen levels and blood vessel damage,” said Sompol.

By detecting these changes early, health care providers could potentially identify at-risk individuals sooner and implement interventions to prevent or slow the progression of cognitive decline.

As research continues, the team is particularly interested in how EEG monitoring can predict long-term outcomes in COVID-19 patients and assess the effectiveness of treatments aimed at preventing cognitive decline.

In Hindsight, A Deafening Diagnosis by Ecler Jaqua in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Dizziness is a common presentation to the outpatient, primary care physician. Its persistence, associated with hearing changes, should prompt further evaluation for more rare diagnoses such as an acoustic neuroma. Although not malignant, timely management of an acoustic neuroma is essential to prevent chronic facial paresthesia, pain, or taste disturbance, and more rarely death.

CASE PRESENTATION

This is a sample text. You can click on it to edit it inline or open the element options to access additional options for this element.

A 34-year-old female presents to the primary care physician with a 2-week history of fatigue, generalized headache, intermittent right-sided tinnitus, and dizziness that started abruptly after a dental procedure. Tinnitus is high-pitched and most often noted in the morning. The dizziness occurs mainly when changing from a supine to seated position. She has no pertinent medical history, engages in regular cardiovascular exercise but is plagued with an addiction to coffee, approximately 3 cups a day. She denies taking any medications or over-the-counter supplements.

Physical exam, including vital signs and orthostatic blood pressure measurement, is unremarkable. Differential diagnoses included benign positional vertigo and caffeine-induced headache. Plan was to obtain an audiogram, keep a headache diary, decrease caffeine consumption, and improve hydration on days of exercise.

While awaiting the audiogram, the patient presented again to her primary care physician for worsening fatigue and self-diagnosed anxiety, in addition to her stable dizziness, tinnitus, and headache. Physical exam was, once again, unremarkable. Differential diagnoses were expanded to include anemia, thyroid disorder, and vestibular migraine. Plan was to trial sumatriptan and begin laboratory evaluation for her fatigue and hair loss. Labs were unremarkable for anemia, electrolyte or vitamin imbalance, and thyroid disorder.

Almost one year later, the patient returns with persistent symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, tinnitus, dizziness, and intermittent headaches. She reports that her symptoms were overwhelming and affected all aspects of her life, not relieved with the sumatriptan. Physical exam, once again, was unremarkable. Differential diagnoses were again expanded to include Meniere’s disease, intracranial mass, and somatization disorder. Plan was to obtain the previously ordered audiogram, non-urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of her brain, and consultations with Psychology for coping techniques and Otolaryngology for her tinnitus and dizziness.

THE DIAGNOSIS

The audiogram was notable for asymmetric hearing loss (Fig 1) and subsequent imaging with MRI Brain confirmed the diagnoses of a 5mm intracanalicular tumor, suggestive of acoustic neuroma (Fig 2). The patient was offered proton therapy but elected for definitive, surgical intervention with Neurosurgery. She underwent translabyrinthine resection of the intracanalicular acoustic neuroma. Her postoperative course was complicated by facial weakness but resolved after one year. Follow-up imaging confirmed complete tumor resection and she continues to do well two years after surgery, without recurrence of the acoustic neuroma.

THE DISCUSSION

Headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus are challenging concerns because the differential diagnoses are quite broad. In this case, since the patient presents often, the symptoms were more likely to be acute and the more common diagnoses of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, and caffeine-induced headache were considered. As the symptoms became more persistent, the clinician correctly broadened the differential diagnoses list and requested the appropriate imaging and specialty follow-up.

This patient’s diagnosis, a right-sided acoustic neuroma, was delayed by poor follow-up and procrastination in obtaining the audiogram.  Fortunately, the acoustic neuroma is a slow-growing, benign tumor that develops from schwannoma cells along the branches of cranial nerve VIII, the vestibulocochlear nerve.1 Acoustic neuroma is also known as vestibular neuroma or schwannoma, most commonly affecting individuals between 65 and 74 years old with a prevalence of 1 in 100,000.2,3,4 The most common risk factor is having a history of neurofibromatosis type 2 or exposure to high-dose radiation.5 Increased prevalence, over the last several years, has been attributed to advanced imaging technology.3 Although it is a slow-growing tumor, its growth can compresses the facial and trigeminal nerves causing facial paresthesia, pain, and taste disturbance.6 Rarely, the tumor can compress the brainstem and cause death.6,7 It can be monitored for growth or treated with radiation and/or surgery.

THE TAKEAWAY

Unfortunately, the etiology of patients’ concerns cannot always be determined. But, it should be the responsibility of the primary care physician to evaluate potentially life-threatening conditions for persistent symptoms. This case demonstrates balancing the common with the uncommon differential diagnoses and illustrates the patient’s role in adherence to the treatment plan. Although headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus are non-specific symptoms, the persistence of them should warrant further investigation with more advanced imaging and specialty consultation.

Down is the new Up

A bulk of this BLOG is more a summary of the former White House Press Secretary, current Fox News Contributor and host of their debate segment “Outnumbered,” Kayleigh McEnany’s comments on 6/9/2023 to a Wall Street Journal opinion piece saying gender-affirming treatments are an ‘experiment’ on kids. I will not be inserting my own opinions on top of the opinions that are already here in that summarization, but will make a statement at the end full of my opinions. This is more/less just a summary of what was discussed during that segment.

President Biden has recently reaffirmed his commitment to safeguarding gender-affirming surgeries for children, despite efforts by lawmakers to prevent such procedures. He has criticized those he perceives as, "hysterical and prejudiced people," who are promoting bills that target children, distress families, and criminalize doctors. The President firmly believes that denying children access to life-changing surgeries and puberty blockers is unjust, and he condemns extreme officials for their cruelty towards our youth and communities.

A newly published opinion piece by the Wall Street Journal that critiques the left's lack of understanding regarding gender-affirming care for children, labeling it as a human experiment that disregards the long-term risks associated with the off-label dispensing of potent hormone blockers. The author of this piece argues that the widespread diagnosis of minors with gender dysphoria borders on child abuse. The article also reveals that 68% of individuals oppose the use of puberty-blocking medications for teenagers, while 58% are against such treatments altogether.

According to Pete Hegseth, a Fox News contributor of their news segment “Outnumbered” the concept of gender-affirming care is a fabricated term that falsely implies that 13-year-olds can autonomously opt for surgery and powerful blockers. He asserts in sarcasm that this belief is akin to suggesting that 13-year-olds should be permitted to smoke cigarettes, consume alcohol, and open gambling accounts due to societal pressure. Pete also criticizes President Biden for endorsing the words of radical individuals and groups without possessing a proper understanding of the subject matter.

It should be noted here that most people that argue against Biden on this topic agree that Biden lacks a proper understanding of the subject matter at hand conceptually.

Another contributor on the segment, Cheryl Casone emphasizes the risks associated with Lupron and Advian, two drugs administered to children as part of gender-affirming care. She reveals that there have been 10,000 reports of adverse effects from these drugs, including hair thinning, fibromyalgia, and degenerative spinal disc conditions. Furthermore, she notes that some states are permitting children to undergo these treatments without parental guidance, potentially leading to lawsuits against the pharmaceutical companies producing these drugs.

The last opinion came from another contributor, Dagen McDowell, where she points out that the push for children to undergo gender-affirming care is driven not by political motives but financial interests groups. Her opinion reveals that these children become multimillion-dollar patients, for life, due to the irreversible effects of surgery and medication, resulting in a lifetime of medical interventions. Dagen also highlights that countries such as Finland, Sweden, and Norway have banned the use of these drugs on minors due to their side effects and the phenomenon of social contagion.

Recently, Britain's National Health Service shut down the Tavistock clinic for diagnosing autistic and mentally ill children as transgender. Where my opinion starts… That to me is a major transgression of medicine, science, common sense, logic, breaking the promise to heal and care for the sick. As I said, the above portion of this BLOG is more a summary of this discussion during the FOX News segment “Outnumbered,” and is not of my own opinions. Now we can discuss what I think on the subject, unless where it is clearly stated otherwise. As I am labeled as, right wing, MAGA, crazy, unhinged or whatever term the Radical Extreme WOKE or EOA’s, Extreme Outrage Actors want to project onto me this day. I am sure tomorrow it will be some other label. What I actually am is an Independent/Independent thinker who will lean sometimes Right because at the moment Right is the lessor of the two evil party system we are currently in.

Extreme Outrage Actors are both a Subculture and Internet Subculture that attempts to hijack other cel groups or political ideologies to make minority issues displayed as majority issues and those issues be labeled as normal and/or everyday ‘FACTS…’ Try to take a bad idea, that is already widely accepted as a bad idea, change some of the attributes that define the idea as bad and make that seem good and chastise others who do not follow suit. Examples of these groups would be: WOKE, incel, femcel, MGTOW, Volcel, Blackpill, Kevin/Karen, Trolls, Tweakers (Twitter Users), Binary, Non-Binary, Ally's, Cisgender, Panexual, Intersex, Queer, Asexual, Hindi, Middle-Eastern, Twitch Gamers, Otakus, Anime Cosplayers, Otherkins, Antigun Groups, Neo Nazis, Environmental Activists, Scene Kids, Religion, Conspiracy Theorists, Flat Earthers, Hollow Earthers and Racists. You will notice I did not mention LGBT as these are real people, with real issues with for/against this law/that law/right/non-right. Where the others I mention are more actors, or internet subculture “cel” groups than real people with real problems.

You will find these subcultures on smaller, not well known platforms like SpaceHey.com, a MySpace clone with little to no administrative monitoring where these users will harass, bully and dox other users with opposing views. Breaking their TOS and Privacy Policy with no accountability from admins for the platform. With the self-destruction of Reddit as of late you will see just as many groups/users on Discord where they do much of the same but in private chat groups, to where, who knows what/who is monitoring them and their mostly extreme and blind progressive ideologies.

The Word Self-Projection Comes to Mind…

Self-projectionist, where a person or group project their own flaws, beliefs, and support onto the person they're trashing. In other words, a person that trashes other people and the details of that trashing are things the trasher actually is, supports, believes in and attempts to paint onto the person they are trashing. They just cannot help themselves. They want others to know these things but not necessarily do they want people to know it is them… It is a way for them to find out how the general public looks at people that practice such social activities to see if they themselves could be accepted by the lot. The lot would never accept people who do this to other people. Like I said, they cannot help themselves. They are addicted to outrage and the responses that come from that outrage.

A fact, by definition, is a theory which is (unproven datasets, an educated guess without verified testing by the scientific method), that is later tested to such a level of accuracy that it cannot be said to be NOT FALSE and cannot be debated as a non-fact till there is real data to suggest the fact is not a fact. It is all about data. The whole point is these actor-cel-groups do not care if they are right or not or their data is accurate or not, but you will believe what they believe or you are a canceled, a transphobe, racist, sexist, bigot and other unsavory labels. Media and social media can and will influence us indirectly. First, it whispers in the ears of trendsetters. Then they bust the moves, spreading the beat among their crew. It's all about who you follow and them use made up titles like, “Influencer,” in the hopes they gain your support. According to the two-step flow theory, a concept in the field of communication, the majority of these trendsetters lack original thinking abilities. In today's society, where it is expected to have an opinion on everything, people tend to adopt the viewpoints of their preferred thought leaders instead of engaging in original thought and conducting thorough research themselves.

  Descendit est novum Sursum (Latin for Down is the new Up) By David-Angelo Mineo 6/16/2023 1,314 Words

Now a new study in the May 2024 issue of JAMA Network Open suggests the timeline for both physiological markers seems to be getting younger. This study found that among 71,341 females born in the U.S. between 1950 and 2005, girls have been getting their first periods at a younger age and it’s taking longer for them to become regular. During the 55-year span covered in the study, the number of people experiencing early menarche (defined as younger than age 11) nearly doubled to 16 percent. 

“It’s well documented, and it’s a worldwide phenomenon,” says Lisa Swartz Topor, an associate professor of pediatrics at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. As for why it’s happening, at this point, “there are more questions than there are answers,” Topor says. “This is a confluence of a lot of different things—the overarching theme is changes to our world in the last two centuries.”

At any age, the onset of puberty is triggered by the hypothalamus in the brain, which secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH—which has been called “the key regulator of the reproductive axis”—in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, which get puberty started. In girls, these two hormones signal the ovaries to start releasing estrogen and progesterone, which leads to breast development, the development of pubic hair, the onset of menstruation, and body shape changes. 

Besides the potential long-term health repercussions, with early puberty, “your child might start to look or act like a teenager before you expected,” says Natasha Chaku, a psychologist and an assistant professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University in Bloomington. As a result, “parents may need to have conversations about how their bodies are going to change earlier than they expect.”

[...]

In addition, girls with obesity have been found to have higher concentrations of estradiol (a form of estrogen)—which may contribute to early breast development and early puberty—than girls with a normal weight.

The quality of kids’ diets also may play a role, especially if they’re low in fruits and vegetables, high in animal protein and highly processed foods, “which are associated with higher levels of sex steroids like estrogen,” notes Frank Biro, a professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. In fact, when researchers in China compared three different diets—a traditional, an unhealthy, and a high protein one—they found that consuming a diet heavy in snacks, desserts, fried foods, and soft drinks (the “unhealthy diet”) was associated with precocious puberty in girls.

In addition, stress, including early life adversity tied to socioeconomic hardship or some form of abuse, may be a contributing factor. A study in a 2023 issue of the journal Psychoneuroendocrinologylinked high stress levels in early childhood with a higher risk of precocious puberty in girls.

“The timing of puberty is stress-sensitive,” says Jane Mendle, a clinical psychologist specializing in mental health during the transition from childhood to adolescence and an associate professor of psychology at Cornell University. “Kids with prepubertal histories of stress and adversity are more likely to go through puberty early.” One hypothesis is that this is because the stress response is also governed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which influences the onset of puberty.

Some research has even suggested that stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic—including increased screen time, social isolation, physical inactivity, less access to healthy food, and other factors—may be associated with a recent increase in precocious puberty in girls in New York City.

These factors are associated with overproduction of sex hormones such as estrogens and testosterone, rather than direct effects on the brain.

For healthy hearing, timing matters

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/for-healthy-hearing-timing-matters/

For healthy hearing, timing matters

When sound waves reach the inner ear, neurons there pick up the vibrations and alert the brain. Encoded in their signals is a wealth of information that enables us to follow conversations, recognize familiar voices, appreciate music, and quickly locate a ringing phone or crying baby.

Neurons send signals by emitting spikes — brief changes in voltage that propagate along nerve fibers, also known as action potentials. Remarkably, auditory neurons can fire hundreds of spikes per second, and time their spikes with exquisite precision to match the oscillations of incoming sound waves.

With powerful new models of human hearing, scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research have determined that this precise timing is vital for some of the most important ways we make sense of auditory information, including recognizing voices and localizing sounds.

The open-access findings, reported Dec. 4 in the journal Nature Communications, show how machine learning can help neuroscientists understand how the brain uses auditory information in the real world. MIT professor and McGovern investigator Josh McDermott, who led the research, explains that his team’s models better-equip researchers to study the consequences of different types of hearing impairment and devise more effective interventions.

Science of sound

The nervous system’s auditory signals are timed so precisely, researchers have long suspected that timing is important to our perception of sound. Sound waves oscillate at rates that determine their pitch: Low-pitched sounds travel in slow waves, whereas high-pitched sound waves oscillate more frequently. The auditory nerve that relays information from sound-detecting hair cells in the ear to the brain generates electrical spikes that correspond to the frequency of these oscillations. “The action potentials in an auditory nerve get fired at very particular points in time relative to the peaks in the stimulus waveform,” explains McDermott, who is also associate head of the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences.

This relationship, known as phase-locking, requires neurons to time their spikes with sub-millisecond precision. But scientists haven’t really known how informative these temporal patterns are to the brain. Beyond being scientifically intriguing, McDermott says, the question has important clinical implications: “If you want to design a prosthesis that provides electrical signals to the brain to reproduce the function of the ear, it’s arguably pretty important to know what kinds of information in the normal ear actually matter,” he says.

This has been difficult to study experimentally; animal models can’t offer much insight into how the human brain extracts structure in language or music, and the auditory nerve is inaccessible for study in humans. So McDermott and graduate student Mark Saddler PhD ’24 turned to artificial neural networks.

Artificial hearing

Neuroscientists have long used computational models to explore how sensory information might be decoded by the brain, but until recent advances in computing power and machine learning methods, these models were limited to simulating simple tasks. “One of the problems with these prior models is that they’re often way too good,” says Saddler, who is now at the Technical University of Denmark. For example, a computational model tasked with identifying the higher pitch in a pair of simple tones is likely to perform better than people who are asked to do the same thing. “This is not the kind of task that we do every day in hearing,” Saddler points out. “The brain is not optimized to solve this very artificial task.” This mismatch limited the insights that could be drawn from this prior generation of models.

To better understand the brain, Saddler and McDermott wanted to challenge a hearing model to do things that people use their hearing for in the real world, like recognizing words and voices. That meant developing an artificial neural network to simulate the parts of the brain that receive input from the ear. The network was given input from some 32,000 simulated sound-detecting sensory neurons and then optimized for various real-world tasks.

The researchers showed that their model replicated human hearing well — better than any previous model of auditory behavior, McDermott says. In one test, the artificial neural network was asked to recognize words and voices within dozens of types of background noise, from the hum of an airplane cabin to enthusiastic applause. Under every condition, the model performed very similarly to humans.

When the team degraded the timing of the spikes in the simulated ear, however, their model could no longer match humans’ ability to recognize voices or identify the locations of sounds. For example, while McDermott’s team had previously shown that people use pitch to help them identify people’s voices, the model revealed that that this ability is lost without precisely timed signals. “You need quite precise spike timing in order to both account for human behavior and to perform well on the task,” Saddler says. That suggests that the brain uses precisely timed auditory signals because they aid these practical aspects of hearing.

The team’s findings demonstrate how artificial neural networks can help neuroscientists understand how the information extracted by the ear influences our perception of the world, both when hearing is intact and when it is impaired. “The ability to link patterns of firing in the auditory nerve with behavior opens a lot of doors,” McDermott says.

“Now that we have these models that link neural responses in the ear to auditory behavior, we can ask, ‘If we simulate different types of hearing loss, what effect is that going to have on our auditory abilities?’” McDermott says. “That will help us better diagnose hearing loss, and we think there are also extensions of that to help us design better hearing aids or cochlear implants.” For example, he says, “The cochlear implant is limited in various ways — it can do some things and not others. What’s the best way to set up that cochlear implant to enable you to mediate behaviors? You can, in principle, use the models to tell you that.”

Application of Hybrid CTC/2D-Attention end-to-end Model in Speech Recognition During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Application of Hybrid CTC/2D-Attention end-to-end Model in Speech Recognition During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

Speech recognition technology is one of the important research directions in the field of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Its main function is to convert a speech signal directly into a corresponding text. Yu Dong, et al. [1] proposed deep neural network and hidden Markov model, which has achieved better recognition effect than GMM-HMM system in continuous speech recognition task [1]. Then, Based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) [2,3] and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) [4-9], deep learning algorithms are gradually coming into the mainstream in speech recognition tasks. And in the actual task they have achieved a very good effect. Recent studies have shown that endto- end speech recognition frameworks have greater potential than traditional frameworks. The first is the Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) [10], which enables us to learn each sequence directly from the end-to-end model in this way. It is unnecessary to label the mapping relationship between input sequence and output sequence in the training data in advance so that the endto- end model can achieve better results in the sequential learning tasks such as speech recognition. The second is the encodedecoder model based on the attention mechanism. Transformer [11] is a common model based on the attention mechanism. Currently, many researchers are trying to apply Transformer to the ASR field. Linhao Dong, et al. [12] introduced the Attention mechanism from both the time domain and frequency domain by applying 2D-attention, which converged with a small training cost and achieved a good effect.

And Abdelrahman Mohamed [13] both used the characterization extracted from the convolutional network to replace the previous absolute position coding representation, thus making the feature length as close as possible to the target output length, thus saving calculation, and alleviating the mismatch between the length of the feature sequence and the target sequence. Although the effect is not as good as the RNN model [14], the word error rate is the lowest in the method without language model. Shigeki Karita, et al. [15] made a complete comparison between RNN and Transformer in multiple languages, and the performance of Transformer has certain advantages in every task. Yang Wei, et al. [16] proposed that the hybrid architecture of CTC+attention has certain advancement in the task of Mandarin recognition with accent. In this paper, a hybrid end-to-end architecture model combining Transformer model and CTC is proposed. By adopting joint training and joint decoding, 2DAttention mechanism is introduced from the perspectives of time domain and frequency domain, and the training process of Aishell dataset is studied in the shallow encoder-decoder network.

For healthy hearing, timing matters

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/for-healthy-hearing-timing-matters/

For healthy hearing, timing matters

When sound waves reach the inner ear, neurons there pick up the vibrations and alert the brain. Encoded in their signals is a wealth of information that enables us to follow conversations, recognize familiar voices, appreciate music, and quickly locate a ringing phone or crying baby.

Neurons send signals by emitting spikes — brief changes in voltage that propagate along nerve fibers, also known as action potentials. Remarkably, auditory neurons can fire hundreds of spikes per second, and time their spikes with exquisite precision to match the oscillations of incoming sound waves.

With powerful new models of human hearing, scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research have determined that this precise timing is vital for some of the most important ways we make sense of auditory information, including recognizing voices and localizing sounds.

The open-access findings, reported Dec. 4 in the journal Nature Communications, show how machine learning can help neuroscientists understand how the brain uses auditory information in the real world. MIT professor and McGovern investigator Josh McDermott, who led the research, explains that his team’s models better-equip researchers to study the consequences of different types of hearing impairment and devise more effective interventions.

Science of sound

The nervous system’s auditory signals are timed so precisely, researchers have long suspected that timing is important to our perception of sound. Sound waves oscillate at rates that determine their pitch: Low-pitched sounds travel in slow waves, whereas high-pitched sound waves oscillate more frequently. The auditory nerve that relays information from sound-detecting hair cells in the ear to the brain generates electrical spikes that correspond to the frequency of these oscillations. “The action potentials in an auditory nerve get fired at very particular points in time relative to the peaks in the stimulus waveform,” explains McDermott, who is also associate head of the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences.

This relationship, known as phase-locking, requires neurons to time their spikes with sub-millisecond precision. But scientists haven’t really known how informative these temporal patterns are to the brain. Beyond being scientifically intriguing, McDermott says, the question has important clinical implications: “If you want to design a prosthesis that provides electrical signals to the brain to reproduce the function of the ear, it’s arguably pretty important to know what kinds of information in the normal ear actually matter,” he says.

This has been difficult to study experimentally; animal models can’t offer much insight into how the human brain extracts structure in language or music, and the auditory nerve is inaccessible for study in humans. So McDermott and graduate student Mark Saddler PhD ’24 turned to artificial neural networks.

Artificial hearing

Neuroscientists have long used computational models to explore how sensory information might be decoded by the brain, but until recent advances in computing power and machine learning methods, these models were limited to simulating simple tasks. “One of the problems with these prior models is that they’re often way too good,” says Saddler, who is now at the Technical University of Denmark. For example, a computational model tasked with identifying the higher pitch in a pair of simple tones is likely to perform better than people who are asked to do the same thing. “This is not the kind of task that we do every day in hearing,” Saddler points out. “The brain is not optimized to solve this very artificial task.” This mismatch limited the insights that could be drawn from this prior generation of models.

To better understand the brain, Saddler and McDermott wanted to challenge a hearing model to do things that people use their hearing for in the real world, like recognizing words and voices. That meant developing an artificial neural network to simulate the parts of the brain that receive input from the ear. The network was given input from some 32,000 simulated sound-detecting sensory neurons and then optimized for various real-world tasks.

The researchers showed that their model replicated human hearing well — better than any previous model of auditory behavior, McDermott says. In one test, the artificial neural network was asked to recognize words and voices within dozens of types of background noise, from the hum of an airplane cabin to enthusiastic applause. Under every condition, the model performed very similarly to humans.

When the team degraded the timing of the spikes in the simulated ear, however, their model could no longer match humans’ ability to recognize voices or identify the locations of sounds. For example, while McDermott’s team had previously shown that people use pitch to help them identify people’s voices, the model revealed that that this ability is lost without precisely timed signals. “You need quite precise spike timing in order to both account for human behavior and to perform well on the task,” Saddler says. That suggests that the brain uses precisely timed auditory signals because they aid these practical aspects of hearing.

The team’s findings demonstrate how artificial neural networks can help neuroscientists understand how the information extracted by the ear influences our perception of the world, both when hearing is intact and when it is impaired. “The ability to link patterns of firing in the auditory nerve with behavior opens a lot of doors,” McDermott says.

“Now that we have these models that link neural responses in the ear to auditory behavior, we can ask, ‘If we simulate different types of hearing loss, what effect is that going to have on our auditory abilities?’” McDermott says. “That will help us better diagnose hearing loss, and we think there are also extensions of that to help us design better hearing aids or cochlear implants.” For example, he says, “The cochlear implant is limited in various ways — it can do some things and not others. What’s the best way to set up that cochlear implant to enable you to mediate behaviors? You can, in principle, use the models to tell you that.”
