Quantitative sensory testing with Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer and von Frey filaments in nonpainful cats: a pilot study [PDF]
, 2019 Measurement of sensory thresholds could represent a complementary tool to behavioural pain scores in cats. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of quantitative sensory testing (QST) with the Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer (EVF ...

REPAC: Reliable estimation of phase-amplitude coupling in brain networks [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal
Processing (ICASSP), 2020 Recent evidence has revealed cross-frequency coupling and, particularly, phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) as an important strategy for the brain to accomplish a variety of high-level cognitive and sensory functions. However, decoding PAC is still challenging. This contribution presents REPAC, a reliable and robust algorithm for modeling and detecting PAC

Possibilities of Application of Modern Neurophysiological Methods in Diagnosis of Vibration Disease
Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2019 Vibration disease is one of the leading in the structure of occupational diseases. A more detailed study of the pathogenesis, expanding the possibilities of diagnosis of vibration disease, is necessary. The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic

Quantitative sensory testing predicts pregabalin efficacy in painful chronic pancreatitis.
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundA major problem in pain medicine is the lack of knowledge about which treatment suits a specific patient. We tested the ability of quantitative sensory testing to predict the analgesic effect of pregabalin and placebo in patients with chronic ...

Testing the Quantitative Spacetime Hypothesis using Artificial Narrative Comprehension (I) : Bootstrapping Meaning from Episodic Narrative viewed as a Feature Landscape [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The problem of extracting important and meaningful parts of a sensory data stream, without prior training, is studied for symbolic sequences, by using textual narrative as a test case. This is part of a larger study concerning the extraction of concepts from spacetime processes, and their knowledge representations within hybrid symbolic-learning ...

Response and fluctuations of a two-state signaling module with feedback [PDF]
Phys.Rev.E 76, 021904 (2007), 2006 We study the stochastic kinetics of a signaling module consisting of a two-state stochastic point process with negative feedback. In the active state, a product is synthesized which increases the active-to-inactive transition rate of the process.
