How Can Cattle Be Toilet Trained? Incorporating Reflexive Behaviours into a Behavioural Chain
Animals, 2020 Untrained cattle do not defecate or urinate in defined locations. The toilet training of cattle would allow urine and faeces to be separated and stored, reducing climate-damaging emissions and improving animal health.

Multiplexing stimulus information through rate and temporal codes in primate somatosensory cortex. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 Our ability to perceive and discriminate textures relies on the transduction and processing of complex, high-frequency vibrations elicited in the fingertip as it is scanned across a surface.

Effect of Sensory Attenuation on Cortical Movement-Related Oscillations [PDF]
, 2018 This study examined the impact of induced sensory deficits on cortical, movement-related oscillations measured using electroencephalography (EEG). We hypothesized that EEG patterns in healthy subjects with induced sensory reduction would be comparable to

What does the vibration therapy add?: a quasi-experimental, pilot study on the short term effects of whole-body vibration as mode of exercise for nursing home residents aged 80+ [PDF]
, 2018 Aims: To compare the responses of nursing home residents aged 80+ to an 8 weeks exercise program performed on a vibratory device and to the same exercise program preformed without vibration on lower limb performance, functional dependence and quality ...

Speaker-sex discrimination for voiced and whispered vowels at short durations [PDF]
, 2016 Whispered vowels, produced with no vocal fold vibration, lack the periodic temporal fine structure which in voiced vowels underlies the perceptual attribute of pitch (a salient auditory cue to speaker sex).

Is resistance to ischaemia of motor axons in diabetic subjects due to membrane depolarization? [PDF]
, 1990 The reasons for the resistance to ischaemia of peripheral nerves in diabetics are not well understood. We have now explored whether axonal depolarization underlies this phenomenon, as has previously been proposed.

PMH14 HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES OF PATIENTS WITH MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER AND POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER [PDF]
, 1996 A computer model is presented that describes soleus H-reflex recruitment as a function of electric stimulus intensity. The model consists of two coupled non-linear transfer functions. The first transfer function describes the activation of muscle spindle
