Phase estimation with autoregressive padding (PEAP): addressing inaccuracies and biases in EEG analysis
arXiv:2604.02212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate phase estimation at the edge of data segments is crucial for EEG applications such as EEG-TMS in offline and real-time data analysis. Our research evaluates the phase estimation performance of four commonly used methods (Phastimate, SSPE, ETP, and PhastPadding) for accuracy and systemic biases, using data from young and elderly healthy controls and chronic stroke participants. To address the identified limitations of the established methods, we introduce Phase Estimation with Autoregressive Padding (PEAP), a method that prevents strong bandpass filtering-induced artifacts. Contrary to the established methods, PEAP does not show significant biases and improves accuracy by 3.2 to 9.2% for the continuous phase estimation. Our offline an

Abstract:Accurate phase estimation at the edge of data segments is crucial for EEG applications such as EEG-TMS in offline and real-time data analysis. Our research evaluates the phase estimation performance of four commonly used methods (Phastimate, SSPE, ETP, and PhastPadding) for accuracy and systemic biases, using data from young and elderly healthy controls and chronic stroke participants. To address the identified limitations of the established methods, we introduce Phase Estimation with Autoregressive Padding (PEAP), a method that prevents strong bandpass filtering-induced artifacts. Contrary to the established methods, PEAP does not show significant biases and improves accuracy by 3.2 to 9.2% for the continuous phase estimation. Our offline analysis demonstrates how established methods are systematically biased towards some estimates and how they induce phase shifts. We also show that differences between methods do not vary between clinical and control populations, supporting their translatability. This work indicates that systematic biases in established phase estimation methods may compromise the validity and comparability of phase-dependent findings. PEAP addresses these limitations and thus offers a more reliable and more accurate alternative method.

Secrets Management for Laravel: .env, Encrypted Config, and Deploynix
Every Laravel application has secrets. Database passwords, API keys, encryption keys, third-party service credentials, payment gateway tokens. These secrets are the keys to your kingdom, and mishandling them is one of the most common security mistakes in web development. The default approach of storing everything in a .env file works fine during development. But as your application grows, your team expands, and your deployment pipeline becomes more sophisticated, the humble .env file starts showing its limitations. This article explores why .env alone isn't enough, what alternatives exist, and how Deploynix's credential management fits into a mature secrets management strategy. The .env File: Simple but Limited Laravel's .env file is elegant in its simplicity. It's a flat file of key-value
David Hogg's PAC leaves some Dem campaigns fuming
Leaders We Deserve, the PAC founded by David Hogg to elect young progressives in Democratic primaries, is leaving some of the campaigns it endorsed griping about alleged broken promises. Why it matters: Multiple campaigns backed by Hogg's PAC fumed after primary losses that the group dangled hopes of financial commitments that never materialized. First it was Irene Shin: The Washington Post reported last July that Leaders We Deserve backed off a commitment to spend $400,000 on the 38-year-old Virginia state delegate's behalf in a U.S. House special election that was won by now-Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-Va.). Now sources close to the campaign of Robert Peters , a 40-year-old Illinois state senator who finished a distant third in the primary to succeed Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), are telling a
Are there Multiple Moral Endpoints?
This is a different approach to explaining an old idea . What is the deep future going to look like? Will we be proud of it, or ashamed of the choices that led to it? Lots of focus on the future is on the near future. How will ongoing wars go? What will the next AI model's capabilities be? Will this business succeed or fail? Let's zoom out and focus just on advanced artificial intelligence; my guess is that we'll have a "transition period" with many different relevant actors with different philosophies and moral considerations (we're in it) and then end up in an "equilibrium period" with much more homogeneity of philosophy and moral standpoints. [1] The transition period is hard to predict and involves many contingent facts, and might involve lots of dramatic turnovers; the equilibrium per

VLMs Need Words: Vision Language Models Ignore Visual Detail In Favor of Semantic Anchors
Vision Language Models struggle with fine-grained visual perception tasks due to their language-centric training approach, performing poorly on unnamed visual entities despite having relevant information in their representations. (1 upvotes on HuggingFace)
