Quasi-periodic signals can be modeled by their second order statistics as Gaussian process. This work presents a non-parametric method to model such signals. ECG, as a quasi-periodic signal, can also be modeled by such method which can help to extract the fetal ECG from the maternal ECG signal, using a single source abdominal channel. The prior information on the signal shape, and on the maternal and fetal RR interval, helps to better estimate the parameters while applying the Bayesian principles. The values of the parameters of the method, among which the R-peak instants, are accurately estimated using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. This estimation provides very precise values for the R-peaks, so that they can be located even between the existing time samples.

This study uses a bioelectronic-based method to establish how non-electrogenic cells, like dermal fibroblast, employ bioelectrical signals to convey information. Electrophysiology using large-area Multielectrode Arrays (MEAs) devices revealed how populations of non-electrogenic cells in vitro generate patterns of bioelectrical signals. The period of the bioelectrical patterns depends on cell population activity.

Whole-brain intrinsic activity as detected by resting-state fMRI can besummarized by three primary spatiotemporal patterns. These patterns have beenshown to change with different brain states, especially arousal. Thenoradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) is a key node in arousal circuits and hasextensive projections throughout the brain, giving it neuromodulatory influenceover the coordinated activity of structurally separated regions.

The brain's temporal dynamics across large-scale networks are essential to understanding cognitive processes. However, a coherent framework remains elusive due to the combinatorial complexity of sequential states and methodological inconsistencies across studies. Here, we address these challenges by identifying a limited set of brain-wide signal propagation modes that capture diverse spatiotemporal features reported across studies.

The research focuses on optical solitons and employs the generalized auxiliary equation technique to obtain soliton resolutions for the nonlinear Kairat-X equation. This equation considers wave number groups influenced by time and velocity dispersion in non-linear mediums. Because of their stability and numerous uses in signal processing, telecommunications, and quantum physics, optical solitons are appreciated.

Research on time crystals concerns the spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry in time, as well as the realization of phenomena and phases known from solid-state physics in the time domain. Periodically driven systems of massive particles are widely used in these studies. In the present work, we consider a photonic system and demonstrate that stable nonlinear propagation of a strong optical wave in a fiber with the third-order dispersion may lead to the establishment of quasi-periodic oscillations in the electromagnetic field intensity.
