HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

Modulation of choice-induced preference changes using tDCS

P. 462–466.
Rybina E., Colosio M., Klucharev V.

The theory of cognitive dissonance suggests that individuals prefer new incoming information to be consistent with already existing knowledge. Conflicting or inconsistent information results in an emotionally uncomfortable state called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance theory suggests that a choice between two similarly valued alternatives creates psychological tension (cognitive dissonance) that is reduced by a post-decision re-evaluation of the alternatives. According to the action-based model of cognitive dissonance, activity in the posterior medial prefrontal cortex (pMFC) underlies the detection of cognitive conflicts and the reduction of the dissonance. Nevertheless, the neurocomputational foundation of cognitive dissonance remains unclear. In this study, for the first time we show that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the pMFC significantly reduced post-decision re-evaluation of the alternatives. An ongoing follow-up study that applied anodal tDCS to the pMFC preliminarily showed a tendency to increase choice-induced preference changes. Our results suggest that cognitive dissonance, underlined by the activity of the prefrontal cortex, is a part of the performance-monitoring circuitry

Viktor Timokhov, Andrey Timashkov, Oksana Zinchenko, Scientific Reports 2025 Vol. 15 No. 1 Article 38153
This study investigated the causal role of the human frontopolar cortex (FPC) in managing counterfactual strategies during decision-making under uncertainty. Using a combination of cathodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) and computational modeling, we examined how cathodal stimulation, preliminarily simulated with SimNIBS, affects the retrieval of alternative strategies in the task that constantly provokes ...

Modulating Novel Vocabulary Acquisition by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Перикова Е. И., Филиппова М. Г., Blagoveshchensky E. et al., International Journal of Psychophysiology 2021 Vol. 168 P. S89
Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on acquisition of novel vocabulary remain controversial, which could be related to specific neural mechanisms underpinning different language learning strategies. To comprehensively assess tDCS effects on fast mapping (FM) and explicit encoding (EE) of novel words, we modulated tDCS stimulation regime (anodal/cathodal/sham), stimulated hemisphere (left/right), site (Broca/Wernicke/their right-hemispheric ...

This study aimed at systematically assessing the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on novel word learning. Using a sample of 288 healthy volunteers, we modulated tDCS stimulation regimes (anodal/cathodal/placebo), stimulated hemisphere (left/right), site (Broca/Wernicke/right-hemispheric Broca/Wernicke homologues), and assessed tDCS effects on different learning protocols: fast mapping vs. explicit encoding, with vs. without articulation. ...

Grapheme-color synesthesia induction with V4 transcranial direct current stimulation
S. Andreev, V. Moskvoretskiy, A. Gorin et al., Current Psychology 2024 Vol. 43 P. 23436–23441
Grapheme-color synesthesia (GC-S) is a neurological condition in which the perception of a grapheme elicits the experience of color or even the visual representation of that grapheme as colored. Previous research using transcranial magnetic stimulation on GC-synesthetes demonstrated enhanced excitability of the visual cortex. Consequently, we hypothesized that using anodal "offline" transcranial direct current stimulation ...

Recent neurophysiological studies provide inconsistent results of fronto-parietal network stimulation for altering working memory capacity. This study aimed to boost working memory capacity by manipulating the activity of the fronto-parietal network via dual-site High-Definition transcranial direct current stimulation.

A Multilab Replication of the Induced-Compliance Paradigm of Cognitive Dissonance
Vaidis D., Sleegers W., van Leeuwen F. et al., ADVANCES IN METHODS AND PRACTICES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE 2024 Vol. 7 No. 1
According to cognitive dissonance theory, performing counterattitudinal behavior produces a state of dissonance that people are motivated to resolve, usually by changing their attitude to be in line with their behavior. One of the most popular experimental paradigms used to produce such attitude change is the induced compliance paradigm. Nonetheless, the replication crisis in social ...

Neurochronometry of choice-induced preference changes: when do preferences actually change?
Davydova A., Julia Sheronova, Kosonogov V. et al., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2023 Vol. 17 Article 1222068
According to cognitive dissonance theory, a discrepancy between preferences and actions may lead to the revaluation of preferences, increasing preference for the chosen options and decreasing for the rejected options. This phenomenon is known as the spreading of alternatives (SoA), which results in a choice-induced preference change (CIPC). Previous neuroimaging studies have identified several brain ...

The theory of cognitive dissonance (CD) is tightly linked with studies of the process of making complex decisions. In particular, CD is manifest within the framework of the “free choice paradigm” consisting of reassessment of alternatives as a result of choosing between two similar alternatives via the motivation to reduce internal conflict. The mechanisms of ...

Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) is a popular approach for studying and modulating cortical function. Currently, numerous studies use TES in behavioral experiments with no physiological control. The authors of such studies rely on the assumption of fairness and complete predictability of their stimulation models. However, control reveals the actual effect induced by the stimulation rarely ...

Теория когнитивного диссонанса тесно связана с исследованием процесса принятия сложных решений. Механизмы когнитивного диссонанса связывают с активностью задней медиальной и дорсолатеральной префронтальной коры, прилежащего ядра и задней поясной коры, взаимосвязь которых по-разному интерпретируют по результатам нейровизуализационных и стимуляционных исследований. Одним из ключевых вопросов понимания механизмов когнитивного диссонанса является нейрохронометрия его возникновения и редуцирования, раскрытие которой ...
