Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been so far the golden standard to study the functional aspects of the cerebellum. In this paper, a low-cost alternative imaging, i.e. functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is demonstrated to …
Neuromarketing research has emerged as an innovative method of collecting accurate consumer data for understanding consumer decisions and improving marketing efforts. Using neurophysiological measures with devices such as eye trackers, functional …
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is gaining popularity in detection and classification of cognitive and emotional states. In addition to hemodynamic responses arising from functional activity changes in the brain areas of interest, fNIRS …
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is used for brain hemodynamic assessment. Cortical hemodynamics are reliably estimated when the recorded signal has a sufficient quality. This is acquired when fNIRS optodes have proper scalp coupling. A …
Background: In sports medicine, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to measure physiologic parameters of muscle function, and quantify the effects of exercise. Firstline treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) involves pelvic floor muscle (PFM) …
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been used with moderate success in many passive brain-computer interface applications. Much of this recent work has been focused on differentiating between various states shortly following discrete …
Introduction: Fatigue is defined as a loss in the capacity for developing force and/or velocity of a muscle which is reversible by rest. The aim was to evaluate non-invasively the fatigue and recovery of the inspiratory ribcage muscles during two …
Virtual Reality (VR) not only offers great opportunities in terms of entertainment, it is also widely applicable in the field of attention guidance, medicine and psychology. The distinction between VR and ordinary media is the 360$$^∘ $$ - also known …
Background: Worldwide 2.3 billion individuals are affected by bladder disease. The current evaluative test is invasive, associated with complications and often declined. Non-invasive evaluation of bladder hemodynamics using continuouswave …
The present study was designed to establish whether a cue-based assessment of driving could predict cognitive load and performance during a simulated driving task. Following an assessment of cue utilization in the domain of driving, participants …
Negative consequences of stress are a pervasive problem in our modern society. Recent developments in wearable lifestyle hardware have led to unobtrusive, sensor-packed, always-on devices that might finally be able to continuously monitor biosignals …
In the overlap between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Cinematics, sits an interest in physiological responses to experiences. Focusing particularly on brain data, Neurocinematics has emerged as a research field using Brain-Computer Interface …
Simple lifestyle changes such as improving one's diet and getting sufficient exercise could significantly reduce the risk of developing obesity and related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. However, changing eating …
One of the important tendencies of current clinical audiology is objectivization of hearing assessment. The presence of sensory perception is determined by neuronal activation of a certain area of the cerebral cortex caused by appropriate stimuli. It …
The purpose of the present study was to extend the knowledge of functional linkages between visual and mental load, performance, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity, during forestry forwarding work. Eleven healthy participants, range 21–51 years …
We aimed at investigating the effect of a short time low load repetitive task on the local muscle oxygenation kinetics in presence of delayed onset muscle soreness. Computer work was investigated as a model of low load repetitive task. Nine healthy …
