Functional Data Analysis for Imaging Mean Function Estimation: Computing Times and Parameter Selection

In the present study, we aim to apply these novel procedures to simulated data and measure computing times both for the estimation of mean function and SCC for a one-group approach, for the comparison between two groups of images, and for the construction of Delaunay triangulations necessary for the implementation of the methodology. We also provide the computational tools to ensure replicability of the results herein presented.

The neuroscience of sadness: A multidisciplinary synthesis and collaborative review.

When I go musing all alone, Thinking of divers things fore-known, When I build castles in the air, Void of sorrow and void of fear, Pleasing myself with phantasms sweet, Methinks the time runs very fleet. All my joys to this are folly, Naught so sweet as Melancholy. - “A dialogue between pleasure and pain” (Burton, 1857).

Social Ties, Health and Wellbeing: A Literature Review and Model.

A complex network of behavioural, psychological and physiological mechanisms drives the health of individuals, and sociostructural factors will either facilitate or impede desired health outcomes within community ecosystems. The GENIAL [**g**enomics-**e**nvironment-vagus **n**erve-social **i**nteraction-**a**llostatic regulation-**l**ongevity] model is proposed, and important mediators and moderators are characterized along a pathway to wellbeing and longevity.

Neuroqualia

The Human Affectome Project will produce a comprehensive taxonomy of articulated experience and tie it to what we currently know about neurobiology.
