What was the point? Are they trying to show that not all people with gulf war illness have PEM? What does this mean: So some people in the study had PEM, but if you take the results of the group on average, then the average person in the group didn't? Is that was "group-level risk" means...

I think that would be really useful, but I don't think so, and I'm guessing it's probably not even possible with the API. But I asked on the HitCounters extension talk page. I'm pretty sure that's what MEpedia uses for PopularPages and it seems to be the only page view tracking extension available.

Yeah, it feels very powerful and is fun. I can imagine it will be very useful to the discovery of biomarkers and treatments in all sorts of conditions. I wish I was super rich and could hire a team of ML experts to make some of my (what I think are promising, like the above) ideas a reality.

Oh! Ability to sing on key. When I'm in a good period, I'm not winning any awards but it's mostly the correct pitch. When I'm in a rough patch, I feel bad for anyone within earshot.

For now it's just a vague idea. I'm not really equipped to do intense projects and I'm pretty much a beginner in these technologies. But I'll try to send him an email to see if he has any feedback. Thanks!

That's interesting - an EEG was the best method for detecting fatigue in drivers. 100% accurate. I wonder how to get me one of those... Also, in the blog I wrote about how making one label for fatigue per day, but taking lots of photos, could confuse the model if there's lots of variability...

Also, if this worked well, it could possibly be used as a PEM alerter, kind of like a dog that alerts if a seizure is about to happen. Maybe something like if you are doing too much, then the rate your expression is changing to fatigued is high, and you can have something that alerts if the...

Yep, I'm totally hitting backspace much more frequently when I'm very fatigued. This seems potentially useful. A keylogger that captures each button press and the time between. It might return something like this: P - 7 ms D - 5 ms BACKSPACE - 3 ms U - 6 ms P - 5 ms P - 2 ms Y - 4 ms Though...

I considered using a general emotion detection model, but I'm worried that what it's trained to detect won't capture the correct details for ME/CFS-like fatigue. Like day to day, these could be extremely tiny differences in a few pixels around one area of the face, while the emotions it was...

The cool thing with AI is you don't need to know the exact differences that are relevant. If you give it two photos (in reality two sets of hundreds or thousands of photos) and teach it that one is you pre-PEM or pre-"eyes glazed over" state and the other is after, it will figure out the...

Up to now, I haven't really come up with any good ways to accurately track my fatigue, anxiety, and general well-being. I've noticed that my face feels and probably looks a lot more sad, expressionless, or numb when I am fatigued or in a crash. I had an idea to train a machine learning model to...

I added a post on the MEpedia discussion forum, though I'm not sure how often that gets checked.

@JaimeS maybe consider installing a more mobile-friendly skin. This doesn't require changing the default, but it allows users to select a custom skin if they would like.

Yeah it'd be very cool if DecodeME gave us any clues like that!

That's interesting. As someone with pretty bad social anxiety, even before I developed clear ME/CFS, it felt like exertion to socialize, and would compound. Though I've always felt kind of like an "extrovert trapped by social anxiety". I have high motivation to be socializing, but the anxiety...

I think I'd agree with @poetsinf that it's probably a spectrum going all the way from severe PEM to healthy people having a "healthy" level of PEM. "damaging their body through overexertion" - whatever the reason, it looks similar, so it's possibly the same mechanism, just exaggerated. Maybe in...

Oh nice, I'll dig into those, thanks!

Environmental factor or comorbid conditions? I haven't read the paper you linked yet, but I don't know if I'd refer to another disease as an environmental factor. Does something in the environment cause gingivitis, and then gingivitis goes on to cause Alzheimer's? Among the risk factors listed...

Super interesting, thanks!
