Breaking the Spurious Link: How Causal Models Fix Offline RL’s Generalization Problem
Higher Education Press

Researchers developed FOCUS, an offline RL framework that integrates causal structured world models to distinguish true causal relationships from spurious correlations in historical data. Theoretically, this approach tightens generalization error bounds, while experiments show it outperforms existing methods on benchmark tasks.

Ever notice how going for a run on an 80-degree day feels scorching in the spring but comfortable at the end of August? New research shows that the reason for this is that we gradually lose our tolerance for heat during cold seasons, but it’s possible to regain it with a brief regimen of hot and humid workouts.

Email Nudges Help Boost Exercise Capacity for People with Parkinson’s Disease
American Physiological Society (APS)

Getting enough exercise can be especially helpful—and especially challenging—for people with Parkinson’s disease. In a new study, patients who received a weekly email newsletter with Parkinson’s-specific exercise tips saw a significant improvement in exercise capacity after 12 weeks.

American Physiological Society (APS)

Simply watching virtual reality (VR) scenes of a warm environment during exercise may influence physiologic processes that control body temperature. Early findings suggest that viewing hot scenes increases sweating, helping the body cool down more efficiently during exercise. Researchers will present their findings at the 2025 American Physiology Summit in Baltimore. The Summit is the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS).
