Using a Virtual Reality CAVE–Based Mindfulness Intervention to Promote Mental Well-Being in Adolescents With Anxiety Symptoms: Pre-Post Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Background: Adolescent anxiety is a growing public health concern associated with significant social and emotional impairment. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown promise in reducing anxiety and improving well-being; however, engagement remains challenging. Virtual reality (VR)–based delivery may enhance immersion and…
Breaking Barriers in Student Mental Health Care With AI-Enhanced Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Pilot Feasibility Study
Background: University students experience elevated psychological distress, with limited access to mental health services. While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) demonstrates efficacy for anxiety and depression, treatment gaps persist due to access barriers and insufficient between-session support. Large language model (LLM)…
Passive Smart Home Monitoring for Delirium-Relevant Anomaly Detection in People Living With Dementia: Proof-of-Concept Study
Background: Delirium superimposed on dementia is associated with poor outcomes yet remains underdetected in home settings. Current detection relies on face-to-face clinical assessment (eg, the Confusion Assessment Method criteria), which is rarely applied outside hospitals. Objective: This proof-of-concept study developed…
Prevalence and Predictors of Self-Reported Adverse Experiences in Digital Meditation Training: 2 Randomized Controlled Trials
Background: Digital meditation-based interventions (MBIs) reach vast global audiences with millions of active users, yet concerns persist about the frequency and nature of adverse experiences (ie, AExs) occurring during meditation training. Some researchers have argued that AExs are substantially underdetected…

Distribution of bladder afferent activity across the sacral roots in sheep shows marked individual variation: implications for neuroprosthesis design
ObjectiveImplantable sacral anterior root stimulators enable bladder emptying after spinal cord injury but do not prevent reflex incontinence. A closed-loop neuroprosthesis that detects and inhibits reflex bladder contractions could address this, but first, reliable detection of bladder fullness from the…
Artificial intelligence for autism spectrum disorder: advances in diagnosis, behavior analysis and educational support
IntroductionArtificial intelligence has become an increasingly relevant field of research in the study of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), offering novel technological approaches for the analysis, detection, and support of individuals on the autism spectrum. The aim of this study was…
Head circumference assessment in pediatric MRI: a pilot study of manual measurement methods and automated segmentation-based alternatives
PurposeHead circumference (HC) is an important clinical parameter in neuropediatrics, but it is often missing or outdated in referral information. This can lead to subjective, reader-dependent estimation during MRI interpretation. We first aimed to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based methods…
Sexual function in women with complex PTSD: a comparative study
BackgroundPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with impaired sexual functioning in women, but the effects of complex PTSD (CPTSD) remain unclear. This study tested three hypotheses: (1) women with CPTSD would report lower overall sexual function than women with PTSD…
Logotherapy techniques to unlock resilience among Ukrainian refugees: a pre-post quasi-experimental design
The ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war has triggered a significant refugee crisis, resulting in widespread trauma, displacement, and mental health challenges among affected populations. This study aimed to explore the potential usefulness of logotherapy, a meaning-centered therapy, in addressing the mental health…
Affect before diagnosis: applying affective neuroscience to psychiatry
Jaak Panksepp spent nearly five decades mapping the primary-process affective systems of the mammalian brain across different species, producing a framework of considerable empirical power that is functionally invisible within psychiatry. Psychiatry has not built upon that literature in human…
Psychological distress experiences among patients living with HIV: a qualitative systematic review
BackgroundHIV patients endure psychological distress throughout the phases of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, which considerably affects their quality of life. A thorough comprehension of patients’ psychological distress experiences is crucial for healthcare workers to devise focused solutions for enhanced care.…
Disrupted sensory interhemispheric synchronization in schizophrenia: a frequency-resolved VMHC analysis
BackgroundAberrant interhemispheric functional connectivity has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) provides a reliable measure of interhemispheric synchronization, yet the frequency-specific characteristics of VMHC alterations in schizophrenia remain poorly understood.MethodsResting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data…
