Anti-Ri Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome Presenting with Ocular Flutter in a Patient with Breast Cancer Open
Ocular flutter is an uncommon ophthalmic finding that may indicate paraneoplastic phenomena, and it is clinically characterized by intermittent bursts of conjugate, horizontal saccades without an intersaccadic interval. Ocular flutter must…

View article: Listening Effort in Tinnitus: A Pilot Study Employing a Light EEG Headset and Skin Conductance Assessment during the Listening to a Continuous Speech Stimulus under Different SNR Conditions
Listening Effort in Tinnitus: A Pilot Study Employing a Light EEG Headset and Skin Conductance Assessment during the Listening to a Continuous Speech Stimulus under Different SNR Conditions Open
Background noise elicits listening effort. What else is tinnitus if not an endogenous background noise? From such reasoning, we hypothesized the occurrence of increased listening effort in tinnitus patients during listening tasks. Such a h…

Recovery of Regular Daily Physical Activities Prevents Residual Dizziness after Canalith Repositioning Procedures Open
Objective: Residual dizziness is a disorder of unknown pathophysiology, which may occur after repositioning procedures for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This study evaluates the relationship between regular daily physical activity …

Entropy-based Attention Regularization Frees Unintended Bias Mitigation from Lists Open
Natural Language Processing (NLP) models risk overfitting to specific terms in the training data, thereby reducing their performance, fairness, and generalizability. E.g., neural hate speech detection models are strongly influenced by iden…
