Immersive Composition for Sensory Rehabilitation: 3D Visualisation, Surround Sound, and Synthesised Music to Provoke Catharsis and Healing [PDF]

, 2014
There is a wide range of sensory therapies using sound, music and visual stimuli. Some focus on soothing or distracting stimuli such as natural sounds or classical music as analgesic, while other approaches emphasize the active performance of producing ...

The Diagnostic Value of Visual Evoked Potentials in Chronic Disorders of Consciousness

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful, but some limitations prevent their consistent use in the ...

Nanomaterial-Assisted Acoustic Neural Stimulation

, 2020
Wireless and non-invasive stimulation of neural system, especially at the central level, is considered a critical issue not only for the treatment of a variety of pathological conditions, such as epilepsy, chronic pain, and obsessive-compulsive disorders, but also for reducing the debilitating motor symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s ...

Greater general startle reflex is associated with greater anxiety levels: a correlational study on 111 young women [PDF]

, 2015
Startle eyeblink reflex is a valid non-invasive tool for studying attention, emotion and psychiatric disorders. In the absence of any experimental manipulation, the general (or baseline) startle reflex shows a high inter-individual variability, which is ...

3D In Vitro Models of Breast Cancer: Current Challenges and Future Prospects Toward Recapitulating the Microenvironment and Mimicking Key Processes

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro cancer models are advantageous for studying important processes such as tumorigenesis, cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis. The complexity and biological relevance increase depending on the model structure, organization, and composition of materials and cells.

Stimulated acoustic emissions from coupled strings [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 2013
We consider traveling transverse waves on two identical uniform taut strings that are elastically coupled through springs that gradually decrease their stiffness over a region of finite length. The wave system can be decomposed into two modes: an in-phase mode ([Formula: see text]) that is transparent to the coupling springs, and an out-of-phase mode ([

Disentangling the effects of phonation and articulation: Hemispheric asymmetries in the auditory N1m response of the human brain [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: The cortical activity underlying the perception of vowel identity has typically been addressed by manipulating the first and second formant frequency (F1 & F2) of the speech stimuli.

Multimodal Characterization Method for Metamaterials with Tunable Mechanical Stiffness and Electrical Resistivity

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a multimodal characterization method for a prototype metamaterial model structure that features four distinct states of mechanical stiffness and electrical resistivity. Through simulations and experiments, it uncovers insights into the structural behavior, the correlation between changes in electrical resistivity and mechanical ...

Motor cortex inhibition induced by acoustic stimulation [PDF]

Experimental Brain Research, 2004
The influence of the brainstem motor system on cerebral motor areas may play an important role in motor control in health and disease. A new approach to investigate this interaction in man is combining acoustic stimulation activating the startle system with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the motor cortex.
