Time-Series Forecasting Method Based on Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Attention Mechanism by Zhiguo Xiao, Junli Liu, Xinyao Cao, Ke Wang, Dongni Li, Qian Liu

“…Breaking through traditional structural designs, the model employs a Squeeze-and-Excitation Network (SENet) to reconstruct the convolutional layers of the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), strengthening the feature expression of key time steps through dynamic channel weight allocation to address the redundancy issue of traditional causal convolutions in local pattern capture. A Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) variant based on a global attention mechanism is designed, leveraging the collaboration between gating units and attention weights to mine cross-period long-distance dependencies and effectively alleviate the gradient disappearance problem of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN-like) models in multi-scale time-series analysis. …”

The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…Such moments fundamentally reconfigure the ethical relationship, shifting the patient from an object of interpretation to a subject capable of self-representation and autonomous expression.[8] These cases share the same ethical pattern: the BCI’s biggest impact is not the specific messages it transmits but its role as the enabler of transmission itself. …”
