Theory-Driven EEG Indexes for Tracking Motor Recovery and Predicting the Effects of Hybridizing tDCS With Mirror Therapy in Stroke Patients by Chia-Lun Liu, Ken-Hsien Su, Yi-Shiung Horng, Chia-Ling Chen, Shou-Hsien Huang, Ching-Yi Wu

“…Three months after training, only the premotor tDCS group maintained the gains in FMA, with these improvements correlated with the EEG indexes. Again, this pattern was specific to premotor tDCS. Since the gating-by-inhibition model suggests that EEG index reflects an individual’s psychomotor efficiency, we also found that the baseline EEG index could predict FMA retention. …”

Recognizing Supporting Standpoints for Online Restaurant Reviews: Evidence From Tripadvisor by Samer Nofal

“…Our results also illustrate that the number of agreed standpoints between reviews is not related to the rating of the respective reviews. Likewise, the results imply that the pattern of variation in the number of reviews (identified as supported with a specific evidence intensity) is unrelated to the reviews’ rating, where “evidence intensity” refers to the number of shared standpoints between a review and its supporter review. …”
