Parallel Experiments: From The Human Participated to A Virtual-Real Hybrid Paradigm
Experiment is one of the necessary conditions for scientific progress. For cognitive science, neuroscience, biomedical science and other human-related disciplines, experiments involving human subjects can confirm or disprove scientific hypotheses in a controlled and systematic manner, while establishing causal relationships between studied variables. These experiments also provide both qualitative and...

Hybrid Event-Triggered Control with Stability Analysis
In this paper, a novel hybrid event-triggered control (ETC) method is developed based on the online action-critic technique, which aims at tackling the optimal regulation problem of discrete-time nonlinear systems. In order to ensure the normal execution of the online learning algorithm, a stability criterion condition is created to obtain...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Depressive Disorders via Various Data Modalities: A Survey
Depression, a pervasive mental health disorder, has substantial impacts on both individuals and society. The conventional approach to predicting depression necessitates substantial collaboration between health care professionals and patients, leaving room for the influence of subjective factors. Consequently, it is imperative to develop a more efficient and accessible prediction methodology...

Prescribed Performance Control of Nonlinear Systems With Unknown Sign-Switching Virtual Control Coefficients
The problem of high-performance tracking control for the lower-triangular systems with unknown sign-switching virtual control coefficients as well as unmatched disturbances is investigated in this paper. Instead of the online estimation algorithm, the sliding mode method and the Nussbaum gain technique, a group of orientation functions are employed to handle...
