      Artificial Intelligence-Based Brain Computer Interface provides concepts of AI for the modeling of non-invasive modalities of medical signals such as EEG, MRI and FMRI. These modalities and their AI-based analysis are employed in BCI and related applications. The book emphasizes the real challenges in non-invasive input due to the complex nature of the human brain and for a variety of applications for analysis, classification and identification of different mental states. Each chapter starts with a description of a non-invasive input example and the need and motivation of the associated AI methods, along with discussions to connect the technology through BCI. Major topics include different AI methods/techniques such as Deep Neural Networks and Machine Learning algorithms for different non-invasive modalities such as EEG, MRI, FMRI for improving the diagnosis and prognosis of numerous disorders of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system and various organs of the body. The book also covers applications of AI in the management of chronic conditions, databases, and in the delivery of health services.

      Advances in Cancer Research, volume 153 provides a timely review of the biology, biochemistry, and current approaches to therapeutically target the RAS oncoprotein, the most frequently mutated oncogene family in human cancers. 2021 saw the approval of the first direct RAS inhibitor (sotorasib) for use in treating non-small cell lung cancers harboring KRAS(G12C) mutations. The successful approval and use of this drug highlights that the once “undruggable” RAS is indeed pharmacologically tractable. This volume provides an overview of efforts to develop additional approaches to therapeutically target oncogenic RAS. In addition, the reader will find excellent reviews on the history and research efforts to understand the biochemistry and oncogenic activity of RAS in human cancers.
