Scientists Develop Algorithm for Accurate Financial Time Series Forecasting
Researchers at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science benchmarked more than 200,000 model configurations for predicting financial asset prices and realised volatility, showing that performance can be improved by filtering out noise at specific frequencies in advance. This technique increased accuracy in 65% of cases. The authors also developed their own algorithm, which achieves accuracy comparable to that of the best models while requiring less computational power. The study has been published in Applied Soft Computing.

Regionally specific cortical lateralization of abstract and concrete verb processing: Magnetic mismatch negativity study
Ulanov M., Kopytin G., Bermúdez-Margaretto B. et al., Neuropsychologia 2024 Vol. 195 Article 108800
The neural underpinnings of processing concrete and abstract semantics remain poorly understood. Previous fMRI studies have shown that multimodal and amodal neural networks respond differentially to different semantic types; importantly, abstract semantics activates more left-lateralized networks, as opposed to more bilateral activity for concrete words. Due to the lack of temporal resolution, these fMRI results do not allow ...

Effect of stimulus orientation and intensity on short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and facilitation (SICF): A multi-channel transcranial magnetic stimulation study
Tugin S., Souza V. H., Nazarova M. et al., Plos One 2021 Vol. 16 No. 9 Article e0257554
Besides stimulus intensities and interstimulus intervals (ISI), the electric field (E-field) orientation is known to affect both short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and facilitation (SICF) in paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). However, it has yet to be established how distinct orientations of the conditioning (CS) and test stimuli (TS) affect the SICI and SICF generation. With ...

Pre-stimulus Alpha Oscillations and Inter-subject Variability of Motor Evoked Potentials in Single- and Paired-Pulse TMS Paradigms
Iscan Z., Nazarova M., Fedele T. et al., Frontiers Human in Neuroscience 2016 Vol. 10 No. 504 P. 1–11
Inter- and intra-subject variability of the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to TMS is a well-known phenomenon. Although a possible link between this variability and ongoing brain oscillations was demonstrated, the results of the studies are not consistent with each other. Exploring this topic further is important since the modulation of MEPs provides unique possibility to ...

Long-Range Temporal Correlations in the amplitude of alpha oscillations predict and reflect strength of intracortical facilitation: Combined TMS and EEG study
Fedele T., Blagoveshchensky E., Nazarova M. et al., Neuroscience 2016 Vol. 331 P. 109–119
While variability of the motor responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely acknowledged, little is known about its central origin. One plausible explanation for such variability may relate to different neuronal states defining the reactivity of the cortex to TMS. In this study intrinsic spatio-temporal neuronal dynamics were estimated with Long-Range Temporal Correlations (LRTC) ...

Cortical neurons multiplex reward-related signals along with sensory and motor information
Lebedev M., Ramakrishnan A., Byun Y. et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2017 Vol. 114 No. 24 P. E4841–E4850
Rewards are known to influence neural activity associated with both motor preparation and execution. This influence can be exerted directly upon the primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1) cortical areas via the projections from reward-sensitive dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain ventral tegmental areas. However, the neurophysiological manifestation of reward-related signals in M1 and S1 are not well understood. Particularly, it is unclear how the neurons in these cortical areas multiplex their traditional functions related ...

Commentary: Cortical activity in the null space: permitting preparation without movement
Lebedev M., Frontiers in Neuroscience 2017 Vol. 11 No. 502 P. 1–5
Kaufman et al. recently proposed a hypothesis of how cortical neuronal ensembles prepare movements without initiating them prematurely (Kaufman et al., 2014). Although novel and potentially paradigm-shifting, their model appears to contradict some of the previously reported results. Here I discuss several possible reasons for this contradiction. Kaufman et al. recorded from neuronal populations in dorsal premotor ...

TMSmap – software for quantitative analysis of TMS mapping results
Pavel A. Novikov, Maria A. Nazarova, Vadim V. Nikulin, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2018 Vol. 12 No. 239 P. 1–12
The use of the MRI-navigation system ensures accurate targeting of TMS. This, in turn, results in TMS motor mapping becoming a routinely used procedure in neuroscience and neurosurgery. However, currently, there is no standardized methodology for assessment of TMS motor-mapping results. Therefore, we developed TMSmap – free standalone graphical interface software for the quantitative analysis ...
