Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cog score changes from post-treatment to the approximately 2-month follow-up.A significant difference (p¼0.049) was found between the groups.This implies real tACS, unlike sham, may extend the positive cognitive effects of the treatment.The real tACS group showed an average improvement of 1.67 points in ADAS-Cog scores from post-treatment to follow-up, compared to the average decline of 1.72 points in the sham group.These findings suggest real tACS, when combined with cognitive exercise, may improve cognitive function in individuals with dementia immediately and with longer-lasting effects.Further research is needed to explore the optimal parameters of electrical stimulation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
