Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Mental health tracking among young Russians: Practices and motivations

DISCOVER MENTAL HEALTH. 2025. Vol. 5. Article 96.
Alexandra Paramonova, Oxana Mikhaylova

The rapid development of digital mental health services can be attributed to the confluence of factors such as the rise of digitalization, individuals’ increasing agency within medical systems across the globe, and the broader trend of fostering neoliberal subjects who assume responsibility for their own health. However, the relationship between agency in addressing mental health issues and adhering to the conventional paradigm of medicalized cognition remains unclear. In this paper, we investigate the practices and motivations of young Russians using mental health apps through the conceptual frameworks of Foucault and Giddens. Our sample consisted of 22 in-depth interviews with Russians aged between 18 and 29. Findings suggest that mental health narratives are highly individualized and correspond with a neoliberal conceptualization of agency. Trackers serve as tools of self-reflection that eschew intentions to change oneself due to their reliance on manual data input, which undermines Foucault’s analysis of self-tracking.

Shared environment, shared mechanisms: comparing pathways to mental health outcomes among indigenous youth and youth with other ethnic backgrounds
Arina Bukina, Eritsyan K., Antonova N. et al., Frontiers in Psychology 2026 Vol. 17 Article 1824428
Background:  Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases.
