Response triggering by an acoustic stimulus increases with stimulus intensity and is best predicted by startle reflex activation

Scientific Reports, 2021
In a simple reaction time task, the presentation of a startling acoustic stimulus has been shown to trigger the prepared response at short latency, known as the StartReact effect.

Startle-triggered responses indicate reticulospinal drive is larger for voluntary shoulder versus finger movements

Scientific Reports, 2023
Recent primate studies have implicated a substantial role of reticulospinal pathways in the production of various voluntary movements. A novel way to assess the relative reticulospinal contributions in humans is through the use of a “StartReact” paradigm

Effect of coal mine organic aerosol on the methane/air lower explosive limit

International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2020
Organic aerosol is formed in coal mines due to heat release and evaporation of organics from coal during the longwall operation. This frictional heating occurs when a metallic cutting bit strikes a rock.
