Video mirror feedback induces more extensive brain activation compared to the mirror box: an fNIRS study in healthy adults

Background: Mirror therapy (MT) has been shown to be effective for motor recovery of the upper limb after a stroke. The cerebral mechanisms of mirror therapy involve the precuneus, premotor cortex and primary motor cortex. Activation of the precuneus …

Head-Down Tilt Bed Rest Improves Executive Function Amongst Younger Adults: A Pilot Project

Abstract Purpose Microgravity has been shown to be a significant stressor on the cardiovascular system and the brain due to the redistribution of fluids that occurs in the absence of gravitational force, but there is scarce literature surrounding …

Physiological Responses to Repeated Running Sprint Ability Tests: A Systematic Review.

The purpose of this study was to review acute physiological responses induced by repeated running sprint ability (RRSA) tests that could serve as references for practitioners utilising repeated sprints as a performance measure with athletes. This …

Investigating online effects of transcranial direct current stimulation from NIRS-EEG joint-imaging using Kalman Filter based online parameter estimation of an autoregressive model Investigating online effects of transcranial direct current stimulation fr

Although, there has been a significant improvement in neuroimaging technologies and analysis methods, the fundamental relationship between local changes in cerebral hemodynamics and the underlying neural activity remains largely unknown. The focus of …
