As the US sees its highest number of measles cases in decades and vaccination rates fall, researchers are developing drugs to help those who contract the virus or who are particularly vulnerable. Up until recently, measles vaccination has been so effective that there's been little medical or financial incentive to develop treatments for the disease. But as measles cases hit a 35-year high and vaccination rates continue to decline in the US, a handful of biotech companies and academic groups have started working on measles treatments for those infected with the virus as well as vulnerable individuals needing short-term protection. It will likely be years, however, before these countermeasures are available, and it's even more uncertain if those who refuse vaccines would take such treatments. Fueled by large outbreaks in South Carolina and Utah, the US had already surpassed last year's 2,289 measles cases, and it's only July.

The coordinated activity of neural populations underlies myriad brain functions. Manipulating this activity using brain stimulation techniques has great potential for scientific and clinical applications, as they causally influence the nervous system. To improve the accuracy by which one can manipulate neural activity, it is important to (1) take into account the pre-stimulation brain state, which can influence the brain's response to stimulation, and (2) adaptively update stimulation parameters over time to compensate for changes in the brain's response to stimulation. In this work, we propose Online MicroStimulation Optimization (OMiSO), a brain stimulation framework that leverages brain state information to find stimulation parameters that can drive neural population activity toward specified states. OMiSO includes two key advances: i) training a stimulation-response model that leverages the pre-stimulation brain state, and inverting this model to choose the stimulation parameters, and ii) updating this inverse model online using newly-observed responses to stimulation. We tested OMiSO using intracortical microstimulation with a "Utah" array and found that it outperformed competing methods that do not incorporate these advances. Taken together, OMiSO provides greater accuracy in achieving specified activity states, thereby advancing neuromodulation technologies for understanding the brain and for treating brain disorders.

A.1 Behavioral Task A male nonhuman primate (NHP, Macaca mulatta), Monkey N (age 7 at the beginning of the dataset, age 11 at the end), was trained to perform a trial-based, two degree-of-freedom (DOF) dexterous finger movement task, shown in Figure 1. During all sessions, Monkey N sat in a primate chair (Crist Instruments, Hagerstown, MA) in a shielded chamber, with his arms fixed at his sides and flexed 90 degrees at the elbow, resting on a table. The left hand was positioned securely in a manipulandum, which used bend sensors (FS-L-0073-103-ST, Spectra Symbol, Salt Lake City, UT) to measure the flexion of two finger groups, index (IDX) and middle-ring-small (MRS). At the beginning of each experimental session (and as needed throughout a session), these flexion sensors were calibrated such that a reading of 1 indicated full flexion of a finger group and a reading of 0 indicated full extension. These readings were used to update the positions of the corresponding finger groups of a virtual hand presented on a screen in front of Monkey N. Bend sensor values were sampled at 1000 Hz. Updates to the virtual hand were limited to the refresh rate of the monitor (120 Hz). The task itself involved trial-based target acquisitions. At the beginning of each trial, two color-coded spherical targets, one for each DOF, were placed on the screen, covering 15% of the full arc of motion (see Figure 1A). Monkey N then acquired the targets by moving his fingers to the correct positions and holding his position for 750 ms.

Data center investors point to competition with China as reason to speed up U.S. AI infrastructure production amid cancellations and regulatory scrutiny across the country.

To enhance surface property analysis for irrigation mapping, we compute a suite of spectral indices capturing vegetation health, water presence, and soil conditions12. Common vegetation indices such as NDVI, GNDVI, and CIgreen quantify canopy vigor and chlorophyll content, while EVI, SAVI, and MSAVI account for atmospheric and soil background effects [44, 68, 28].
