Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1 Agonists as Narcolepsy Therapeutics
As partial agonists at trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) promote wakefulness in mice and rats, we evaluated whether TAAR1 agonism had beneficial effects in two mouse models of narcolepsy.

Challenges in the Development of Therapeutics for Narcolepsy
Development of therapeutics for narcolepsy has been challenged by historical misunderstanding of the disease, its many disparate symptoms and, until recently, its unknown etiology.

Hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks for Articulatory and Acoustic Information Based Speech Recognition
This work explores using deep neural networks (DNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for mapping speech data into its corresponding articulatory space. Our speech-inversion results indicate that the CNN models perform better than their DNN counterparts.

Manufacturing Next-generation Robotic Manipulation
Every April, National Robotics Week fuels a heightened awareness around robotics, its impact on society, and its growing importance in a wide variety of fields and applications. Robotics, however, never seems to achieve its hyped potential from its beginnings in industrial applications, when the benefits of fast, precise, repetitive manipulation in manufacturing were a significant driver for…
