INTRODUCTION. Cognitive efficiency during cognitive-motor dual-task (CMDT) varies with exercise intensity, with low-to-moderate intensities supposed to enhance performance according to an inverted-U theory. This effect remains unexplored in trained …
As societal interactions increasingly involve both intentional and unintentional agents, understanding their effects on human cognition becomes paramount. This study investigates the neural correlates of interacting with intentional versus artificial …
Greater walking automaticity facilitates maintenance of gait speed without prefrontal cortex (PFC) resources. Brain aging may cause shifts to more attentional gait with greater engagement of the PFC. Nigrostriatal dopaminergic integrity likely …
Introducción. El entrenamiento de músculatura respiratoria (EMR) aminora los efectos negativos del reflejo metabólico sobre el rendimiento físico, mejorando la oxigenación en áreas cerebrales implicadas en actos motores, músculos …
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been increasingly applied in poststroke research. The accumulated evidence in this area warrants a comprehensive review systematically investigating the utility of fNIRS in poststroke rehabilitation, …
This scoping review analyzes the use of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) in game-based learning (GBL) settings, providing a thorough examination of contemporary trends and approaches.Employing the PRISMA framework, an initial collection …
The functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technique was introduced for use in general medical practice to measure brain blood oxygenation along with physiological parameters such as 4-channel EEG, heart rate, blood oxygenation, blood volume …
The recovery of muscle oxygen consumption (m (Formula presented.) O2) after exercise measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a measure of skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity. Nevertheless, due to sex differences in factors that …
Despite having a near perfect control over a ball, professional football/soccer players often miss penalties. Psychological factors (anxiety) are often named as explanations for these misses. A commonly used terminology is 'choking under pressure'. …
Over the past decades, virtual reality (VR) technology has gained significant popularity and interest, both in research as well as on the consumer market. One promising application area of VR is virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), which treats …
Context: Musculoskeletal neck and shoulder pain is a prevalent condition with nearly two-thirds of the population experiencing it sometime in their lifespan; factors may include activity level, sex, stress, and postural deficits. The treatment …
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuro-imaging modality that can indicate cortical functionality with good temporal resolution (0.5-1 sec). Unlike fMRI, up to now, there is no standard method and a whole package that can …
Background: The sympathetic nervous system plays a critical role in blood pressure regulation at rest and during stress. Sympathetic neural activity directed towards skeletal muscle constricts the vasculature to raise resistance within the arterial …
Cold exposure has been proposed as a potential tool to face obesitysince it is able to increase energy expenditure (i.e., cold induced thermogenesis –CIT). This increase is partially mediated by brown adipose tissue (BAT). Nevertheless, little is …
Predicting the binding mode of flexible polypeptides to proteins is an important task that falls outside the domain of applicability of most small molecule and protein−protein docking tools. Here, we test the small molecule flexible ligand docking …
Rightly emphasized by Pascal Belin “Voices are everywhere”. From music to social conversation, the human voice has indeed the extraordinary power to communicate our everyday emotions. Shaped by millions of years of evolution, the vocal recognition of …
This mini-review is aimed at briefly summarizing the present status of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and predicting where the technique should go in the next decade. This mini-review quotes 33 articles on the different fNIRS basics …
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to measure muscle mitochondrial capacity. The current method requires as many as 22 short ischemic occlusions to generate a recovery curve for mitochondrial capacity. PURPOSE: To determine the …
Optic nerve hypoplasia is a congenital anomaly in which the optic disc is abnormally small and is associated with other neurodevelopmental disorders. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to measure the retinal nerve fiber layer and can add …
