Color obsessions and phobias in autism spectrum disorders : the case of J.G
(2014-05-04)
The current study is the first investigation of color 'obsessions' and 'phobias' in ASD. We investigate the color perception and cognition of J.G., a boy with ASD who has a strong obsession with blue, and a strong phobia ...
Use of a sensory room on an intensive care unit
(2014-05-01)
This study explores the use of a sensory room on a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU), with a particular focus on the effect on seclusion rates and staff and patients' experiences of using the sensory room. A mixed ...
A population search filter for hard-to-reach populations increased search efficiency for a systematic review
(2014-05-01)
OBJECTIVES: This article discusses how hard-to-reach population groups were conceptualized into a search filter. The objectives of this article were to (1) discuss how the authors designed a multistranded population search ...
Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Three-dimensional kinematic correlates of ball velocity during maximal instep soccer kicking in males
(2014-04-23)
Achieving a high ball velocity is important during soccer shooting, as it gives the goalkeeper less time to react, thus improving a player's chance of scoring. This study aimed to identify important technical aspects of ...
Auditory processing and sensory behaviours in children with autism spectrum disorders as revealed by mismatch negativity
(2014-04-01)
Sensory dysfunctions may underlie key characteristics in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The current study aimed to investigate auditory change detection in children with ASD in order to determine event-related ...
An automated approach towards detecting complex behaviours in deep brain oscillations
(2014-03-15)
Extracting event-related potentials (ERPs) from neurological rhythms is of fundamental importance in neuroscience research. Standard ERP techniques typically require the associated ERP waveform to have low variance, be ...
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)
In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ...
Reversing the polarity of bipolar stimulation in deep brain stimulation for essential tremor : a theoretical explanation for a useful clinical intervention
(2014-01-02)
The quadripolar electrodes used for deep brain stimulation are designed to give flexibility in contact configuration, optimize therapeutic effect, and minimize side-effects. A patient with essential tremor did not tolerate ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
