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.

Money as a Cultural tool in the Indian Subcontinent: Trade in Ancient and Medieval India

P. 268–287.
Singh A.

Money has played a vital role in Indian history. Since ancient times, trading communities in coastal and inland regions have connected the subcontinent with various civilizations. One key aspect of this trade was that, alongside monetary exchange, cultural values ​​and traditions were also exchanged. Money was not only a means of exchanging goods but also "cultural capital." The emergence of money in India is closely linked to India's trade relations with several significant cities and kingdoms in the ancient and medieval periods. Considered a medium of exchange, money actually encouraged people to unite and develop rules for such exchange, as well as bonds of trust. Along with deepening economic ties, trade embodies socialization at various levels and stimulates intercultural exchanges.
