Critically ill children face multiple factors that disrupt their sleep, creating a need for a continuous monitoring tool. To characterize a potential method, researchers recorded EEG signals from mechanically ventilated children, transformed the data into amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), and analyzed it for background patterns and sleep-wake cycling.

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence presents new considerations for teaching writing to multilingual learners, who may already experience linguistic discrimination. To address this, researchers conducted a qualitative study and interviewed 15 multilingual educators about their experiences teaching writing with this technology.

Not all people with psychosis improve with antipsychotic medication. To investigate this, researchers analyzed and synthesized data from multiple studies to compare brain chemicals in individuals who were responsive to treatment and those who were nonresponsive.
