DDC3N: Doppler-Driven Convolutional 3D Network for Human Action Recognition
In deep learning (DL)–based human action recognition (HAR), considerable strides have been undertaken.Nevertheless, the precise classification of sports athletes’ actions still needs to be completed.Primarily attributable to the exigency for exhaustive datasets about sports athletes’ actions and the enduring quandaries imposed
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Power Spectral Parameters: a tDCS/EEG co-registration study
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivers low electric currents to the brain through the scalp.Constant electric currents induce shifts in neuronal membrane Raincoat excitability, resulting in secondary changes in cortical activity.Concomitant electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring during tDCS can provide valuable information on the
