Respiratory and Electrocortical Responses to Acoustic Stimulation [PDF]
Sleep, 1996 Although sleep-related obstructive apnea is most often associated with transient arousal, the impact of this arousal on respiratory control remains unclear. We employed binaural tone bursts (.5 second duration) to elicit repetitive transient arousals from sleep during polygraphic recordings in 5 adult volunteers.

Developmental sensory experience balances cortical excitation and inhibition. [PDF]
, 2010 Early in life, neural circuits are highly susceptible to outside influences. The organization of the primary auditory cortex (A1) in particular is governed by acoustic experience during the critical period, an epoch near the beginning of postnatal ...

Multimodal acoustic-electric trigeminal nerve stimulation modulates conscious perception
NeuroImageMultimodal stimulation can reverse pathological neural activity and improve symptoms in neuropsychiatric diseases. Recent research shows that multimodal acoustic-electric trigeminal-nerve stimulation (TNS) (i.e., musical stimulation synchronized to ...

Multisensory Integration Sites Identified by Perception of Spatial Wavelet Filtered Visual Speech Gesture Information [PDF]
, 2004 Perception of speech is improved when presentation of the audio signal is accompanied by concordant visual speech gesture information. This enhancement is most prevalent when the audio signal is degraded.

Enhancement of Sleep Quality and Stability Using Acoustic Stimulation During Slow Wave Sleep
International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, 2018 Background: One of the challenges today is that the quality of sleep has weakened by many external factors, which we are not even aware of and which directly affect sleep.

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 ...
