Cognitive constraints in bilingual processing—an entropy-based discrimination between translation and second language production by Chuanhong Tang, Danfeng Huang, Danfeng Huang, Andrew K. F. Cheung

“…The results also reveal that L2 production and translational production could be discriminated against each other, with the former one exhibiting greater diversity and a more even distribution in most features than the latter one. These findings support the idea that both translators and L2 users belong to bilinguals affected by the cognitive load in bilingual processing although the two bilingual productions are constrained differently.…”

Study on incentive mechanism of reward and punishment on work efficiency of PCB welder based on recurrence quantification analysis and electroencephalogram signals by Zhang Qian, Mingyue Guo, Fuwang Wang

“…The accuracy of the twin support vector machine (TWSVM) reaches 98.71%, which is 0.79% and 14.37% higher than existing EEG-based incentive evaluation methods, such as the phase-locking value combined with convolutional neural network (accuracy: 97.92%) and spectral power features (accuracy: 84.34%). This study not only confirms the feasibility of EEG in incentive evaluation but also addresses the insufficient sensitivity of traditional cognitive load monitoring by integrating RQA features and a dynamic classification framework, providing a quantifiable neuroscientific basis for optimizing enterprise incentive mechanisms.…”
