Read more🎯Deep Dive — Brain–Computer InterfacesEEG-based BCIs review (Barbera et al.)The September 2025 arXiv review analyzed >200 recent studies and showed how AI is boosting EEG-based brain–computer interfaces. Transformer and convolutional models reduced classification error rates by ~20% compared with older CNN pipelines, and transfer learning allowed cross-patient generalization with up to 70% accuracy in noisy data. Key pillars: advanced preprocessing, unsupervised feature embeddings, and continual adaptation. Read moreIn practical applications, AI-powered EEG BCIs are achieving 10–15% word error rates for imagined speech decoding (vs 30–40% with legacy methods). Motor control tasks using RNNs and transformers improved cursor stability by 25–30% in non-invasive EEG, narrowing the gap with invasive ECoG systems. Communication BCIs now routinely surpass 90% accuracy in binary yes/no tasks, highlighting tangible clinical utility for patients with severe paralysis. |

🧬 AMX0035 Shows Sustained Benefit in Wolfram Syndrome at 48 Weeks Amylyx Pharmaceuticals has reported positive long-term results from its Phase 2 HELIOS trial evaluating AMX0035 in individuals with Wolfram syndrome, a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease. At 48 weeks, the treatment continued to demonstrate improvements or stabilization across multiple disease domains, suggesting durable therapeutic benefit. 🔍 Key Highlights Pancreatic Function: C-peptide response—a marker of residual...
💤 Oral Therapy AD109 Shows Promise in Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea A recent phase 3 clinical trial has shown that AD109, an investigational oral therapy, significantly reduces the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) over a six-month period. The SynAIRgy study focused on adults with mild to severe OSA who were either intolerant of or declined CPAP therapy. 🔍 Key Findings Marked Reduction in AHI: Participants receiving AD109 experienced a 55.6% decrease in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI),...
