Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

I always have concerns relevant to attempts at diagnostic biomarkers of psychiatric disorders with low "essentiality," like depression.
Some of the symptoms could be caused by a disrupted neurobiological basis, but most depend on our mental content, mind, etc.

Conscious breathing appears to synchronize brain and body activity
New research in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience suggests that slow, controlled breathing strengthens communication between the brain and body. This frequency-based synchronization may enhance self-regulation.
