Summary: Recent research efforts using psychophysiological methods like Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and EEG mapping methods have provided evidence for the so-called neural efficiency-hypothesis of human intelligence: During task performance less ...
Summary: Repeated practice on cognitive tasks is known to reduce the processing time required for successful task completion, and this gain in processing speed has often been attributed to task performance becoming automated during the course of practice. ...
Short-Term Rivastigmine Treatment Effects in Alzheimer Patients: Neuropsychological and Electrophysiological ParametersCholinesterase-inhibiting drugs actually are the treatment of choice for dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). However, there is a lack ...
Correlates of Cortical Pain Processing - A ReviewAbstract: Pain is the result of complex neuronal activities within the brain but not a simple result of nociception. Pain results from an interaction of diverse neuronal modules located in different brain ...
Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) in Children with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder - An Experimental Study Using the Continuous Performance Test (CPT)SummaryObjectives: Evaluation of event-related potentials for selective attention in ...
Gamma Activity: The Importance of High-Frequency EEG Oscillations in PsychopathologyAbstract: Due to its small amplitude the importance of high-frequency EEG oscillations is often underestimated as compared to the slower oscillations with larger ...
Psychophysiological detection of deception: Current status and future prospectsMethods for the psychophysiological detection of deception aim at differentiating between offenders and innocent persons on the basis of their physiological responses to ...
Validation of a method for assessing cardiac sensitivity and new findings on the functional significance of heartbeat-evoked potentialsAbstract. Bodily perception is becoming increasingly important to ...
The Effects of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on Putting in Advanced GolfersAbstract: There are presently no studies investigating the effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on ...
Consumers often develop close relationships with their preferred brands and goods. To achieve marketing goals, companies need to develop in customers a positive brand attachment. When they succeed, the brand is immediately recognized, it elicits specific ...
Waiver of EEG Diagnostics Prior to and During Methylphenidate Therapy: Dangerous or Justifiable?Summary:Objectives: The issue of whether or not to perform an EEG before or during therapy with psychostimulants currently is a topic of controversial ...
Quantitative effect of treatment with methylphenidate on EEG - a pilot studySummary:Objective: As a presumptive side effect, a lowered seizure threshold due to medication with methylphenidate remains controversial. The pilot study at hand addresses the ...
The significance of functional psychophysiological methods in child and adolescent psychiatryPsychophysiological research focusing on child development and on child and adolescent psychiatric disorders has provided many important insights. The use of ...
Neurofeedback training in children with ADHD: behavioral and neurophysiological effectsIn a multicentre randomised controlled trial, we evaluated the clinical efficacy of neurofeedback (NF) training in children with ADHD and investigated the mechanisms ...
A video-set for experimental assessment of emotions during social interaction: validation and first data on neuronal effectsSocial interactions are complex and frequently trigger positive and negative emotional reactions. Several psychopathologies are ...
Perspectives for the Electroencephalogram in Psychiatry Abstract. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive and cost-effective method to monitor spontaneous neuronal activity over time. Pathologies in EEG recordings ...
Electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely adopted to monitor changes in cognitive states, particularly stages of sleep, as EEG recordings contain a wealth of information reflecting changes in alertness and sleepiness. In this study, silicon dry ...
The biology of OCDObsessive-compulsive disorders in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood are common and very incapacitating illnesses. They appear to involve a high degree of biological vulnerability and heritability; genetic and environmental factors ...
