This paper proposes an easy-to-use instruction hiding method to protect software from malicious reverse engineering attacks. Given a source program (original) to be protected, the proposed method (1) takes its modified version (fake) as an input, (2) differences in assembly code instructions between original and fake are analyzed, and, (3) self-modification routines are introduced so that fake ...

Code modification is the main method for software piracy. Making software tamper resistant is the challenge for software protection. In this paper, we present and explore a methodology that we believe can protect program integrity in a more tamper-resilient and flexible manner. we describe a dynamic integrity verification mechanism designed to prevent modification of software. The mechanism mak...

UNLABELLED Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms can be difficult to treat. We previously reported that a 20-session brain-computer interface (BCI) attention training programme improved ADHD symptoms. Here, we investigated a new more intensive BCI-based attention training game system on 20 unmedicated ADHD children (16 males, 4 females) with significant inattentive symptoms (...

A recent meta-analysis has questioned the relevance of attention bias modification (ABM) for depression outcomes. However, there might be patient characteristics not yet accounted for, that are relevant to outcome. In context personalized treatment, lack moderator studies have limited potential matching ABM-treatment individual characteristics. Subjects (N = 301) were randomly assigned 1:1 rece...
