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.

Scientists Propose Method for More Efficient Resource Use in Machine Learning

An international group of researchers, including mathematicians from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, has provided a theoretical justification for a simple and computationally efficient method of estimating uncertainty in Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The paper has been published on the scientific preprint server arXiv.org and presented at AISTATS 2026.

"Дары многы с любовию": к вопросу о символической стороне даров на Руси первой половины XII в.

С. 163–181.

Гребенников Н. Ю.

The practice of gift-giving was actively used in the Medieval Europe by representatives of different nobles houses as a meaning to interact with each other. The author of the article aims to scrutinize the examples of describing the
practice of gift exchange in the context of the relationship between the Rurikids and their diplomatic relations to identify the symbolic subtext behind the exchange of gifts. In his observations, the author relies on the concept proposed
by M. Moss: any exchange of gifts in pre-industrial societies has a hidden, symbolic meaning. The novelty of the paper is formed by the stated theme – in no study have the chronicle evidence of the fi rst half of the 12th century been
considered for symbolic communication between the Rurikids.
