Background/Objectives: Headache after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common post-concussive symptoms and is associated with altered pain processing and elevated disability levels. Understanding physiologic correlates of nociception …

Distinguishing between self and other is fundamental for social interaction through touch and central to bodily self-awareness. Self-touch is known to feel different from being touched by others—typically perceived as less intense—but the underlying …

This cross-sectional study employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate the associations of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with visuospatial working memory (VSWM) performance and …

Social threat is both a source and consequence of implicit bias against Asian Americans, who are often stereotyped as “perpetual foreigners,” posing some threat to (white) American values. The implicit nature of these attitudes makes investigating …

Background Acute resistance exercise (RE) has been shown to improve executive function (EF), but its effects at different intensities on specific EF domains (e.g., inhibition, working memory) and underlying brain mechanisms (i.e., brain hemodynamics) …

Background Gait automaticity, the ability of the brain to control locomotion with minimal use of executive-attentional resources, is altered in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recently, we showed that step-synchronized tactile cueing improved …

Abstract Introduction The effects of auditory perturbations on reading performance are well studied, but somatosensory perturbations are less understood. Recent research shows oral sensory perturbations (stimulation and anesthesia) improve reading …

Background/Objectives: Lightweight and portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) systems enable neuromonitoring in clinical environments such as operating rooms. Patient posture is known to influence physiology, behavior, and brain …

Teacher–student interactions are crucial in language learning, often modulated by students’ emotional status. Although the interaction quality is known to be associated with improved learning outcomes, its effect in anxious contexts remains unclear. …

ypnotizability is associated with several physiological differences, including functional equivalence between actual and imagined action. EEG studies also revealed different information processing in these conditions in participants with high (highs) …

Inhibitory control develops over time and is linked to fronto-striatal maturation. Traditional computerised assessments often lack ecological validity and are not age appropriate. Here, we developed a naturalistic, age-appropriate paradigm using a …

PostCOVID-19 is a condition affecting approximately 10% of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, presenting significant challenges in diagnosis and clinical management. Portable neuroimaging techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy …

This systematic review analyses advancements in cognitive state recognition from 2010 to early 2024, evaluating 405 relevant articles from an initial pool of 2398 records identified through five databases: Scopus, Engineering Village, Web of Science, …

Background: Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) is a motor dysfunction disorder resulting from perinatal developmental brain injury, predominantly impairing upper limb function in children. Nonetheless, there has been insufficient research on the brain …

Recent empirical investigations suggest that music performance and perception can evoke a collective cardiac response in performers and audience members, and interpersonal cardiac coupling can be related to musical features. However, the relationship …

Ensuring safety in next-generation intelligent cockpits demands accurate assessment of pilot states, particularly distinguishing between eustress and distress. Traditional stress monitoring lacks this nuance and struggles across varying flight tasks. …

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs both motor and cognitive functions. Accurate detection of PD remains a major challenge, particularly at early stages when clinical symptoms are subtle. This study …

People tend to engage with content that aligns with their pre‐existing attitudes, forming echo chambers that reinforce biases and may amplify extremism. Here, we investigate whether discussions within homogeneous groups drive attitudinal extremity …

Objectives: To investigate prefrontal cortex activation during single- and dual-task treadmill exercises at an imposed speed and a speed selected by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Eleven patients with PD (Hoehn and Yahr's stages …

Teacher-related factors significantly impact students’ higher-order thinking. However, the mechanisms of how these factors specifically affect students’ higher-order thinking in urban science classrooms are unclear, especially in the absence of …
