ASC is convenient because it is human-readable and easy to parse for messages, events, and sample streams. In many workflows, it is the first step before preprocessing, quality checks, synchronization, or importing into analysis scripts. In my case, that step became the bottleneck. On my PC, the standard EyeLink conversion tool di

Translation of 'Uber EKG-Veranderungen bei Hirntumorkranken'Article, an early article on brain-heart interaction
During my research on interoception-exteroception integration, I reviewed the article "Measures and Models of Brain-Heart Interactions" by D. Candia-Rivera and colleagues. Within this work, another article titled "Uber EKG-Veranderungen bei Hirntumorkranken" was mentioned, highlighting early studies on brain-heart interactions. This article was originally published in German, and I've translated it using GPT. Therefore, the translation might contain some inaccuracies. Transla

ACTH Therapy for Autism and LKS: Key Findings from Our Recent Study
In our latest study, published in the Epilepsy and Behavior Journal by Elsevier, we explored the efficacy of ACTH therapy on EEG recordings in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS). Link of the paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yebeh.2025.110308 My journey into this research began when I first met my former principal investigator, Prof. İhsan Kara. He introduced me to the clinical applications of Prof. Atilla Altunel, who had been tre
