Beyond general food craving: sex differences in food-specific craving identified using item response theory by Daiil Jun, Daiil Jun, Sean Joo, Tera L. Fazzino, Tera L. Fazzino

“…Using item response theory (IRT), a partial credit model was employed to investigate which food item was easier or more commonly craved, while holding overall food craving level constant across participants. Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis identified sex differences in craving for specific food items, with effect sizes calculated to interpret the magnitude of DIF.ResultsThe partial credit model revealed that pizza and chocolate were the easiest or most commonly craved, while gravy and cornbread were the most difficult to crave. …”

Topological signatures of brain dynamics: persistent homology reveals individuality and brain–behavior links by Yue Wang, Yue Wang, Junxing Xian, Yuanyuan Chen, Yuanyuan Chen, Yan Yan, Yan Yan

“…Canonical correlation analysis identified a significant brain-behavior mode that links topological brain patterns to cognitive measures and psychopathological risks. Regression analyses across behavioral domains showed that persistent homology features matched or exceeded the predictive performance of traditional features in higher-order domains such as cognition, emotion, and personality, while traditional features performed slightly better in sensory-related domains.DiscussionThese findings highlight persistent homology as a robust and informative framework for modeling individual differences in brain function, offering promising avenues for personalized neuroimaging analysis.…”
