Researchers at a center for neuromathematics say dreams reflect the fear and anxiety fueled by the disease.
The NeuroMat study featuring collaboration of South African researchers is the first to prove, using a graph analysis tool, that REM dream narratives tend to be more complex and connected than reports of non-REM dreams.
Brazilian researchers showed that the degree of suffering caused by the pandemic and social isolation can be measured by interpreting dream narratives with the aid of speech analysis tools.
The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics has created more than 4,000 Wikipedia entries and improved more than 21,000.
Researchers are upgrading the collaborative encyclopedia and contributing new entries in their knowledge area
Collaborators with NEUROMAT, a research center supported by FAPESP, discuss the use of random graphs to study neuronal and brain region connectivity
The program was created by a team at the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics. The first module is available for download
Brazilian researchers develop a technique to mathematically analyze dream reports to help identify symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
