Philosophical Performances in Everyday Life Situations
The real world of everyday life with its unfailing routines, repetitions and manifold habits may be seen as a matrix for the immanent expressions of what could holistically be called ‘The Void’, ‘The Real’ or simply ‘The all-embracing presence of ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation over sensorimotor cortex disrupts anticipatory reflex gain modulation for skilled action [PDF]
Skilled interactions with new environments require flexible changes to the transformation from somatosensory signals to motor outputs. Transcortical reflex gains are known to be modulated according to task and environmental dynamics, but the mechanism of

An Artificial Somatic Reflex Arc
The emulation of human sensation, perception, and action processes has become a major challenge for bioinspired intelligent robotics, interactive human–machine interfacing, and advanced prosthetics.

Soleus H-reflex Excitability Changes in Response to Sinusoidal Hip Stretches in the Injured Human Spinal Cord [PDF]
Imposed static hip stretches substantially modulate the soleus H-reflex in people with an intact or injured spinal cord while stretch of the hip flexors affect the walking pattern in lower vertebrates and humans.

Enhanced pupillary light reflex in infancy is associated with autism diagnosis in toddlerhood
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting around 1% of the population. We previously discovered that infant siblings of children with ASD had stronger pupillary light reflexes compared to low-risk infants, a result which ...

National Rugby League athletes and tendon tap reflex assessment: A matched cohort clinical study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Limited research suggests elite athletes may differ from non-athletes in clinical tendon tap reflex responses. METHODS: In this matched cohort study, 25 elite rugby league athletes were compared with 29 non-athletes to examine differences in ...

Potential Pain in Fish and Decapods: Similar Experimental Approaches and Similar Results
I review studies that examined the possibility of pain experience in fish and note how they provided guidance on general methods that could be applied to other animals such as decapod crustaceans.

Reflexivity without reflexives?
What prevents pronominals from being locally bound? Does this a)reflectan intrinsic property of pronominals (Chomsky 1981), is it b) a relative(economy) effect, that only shows up where there is a more dedicated competitor(see from different perspectives, Safir 2004, Boeckx, Hornstein and Nunes 2007,Levinson 2000), does it c) have a semantic basis as ...
