Filter by:EMDR is a psychotherapeutic approach recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the treatment of disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and, more generally, psychological distress. In all these disorders, intrusions are one of the symptoms leading to intense emotional distress. EMDR therapy, by making intrusions less emotional and less present in the mind (i.e. less vivid), would reduce psychological distress. This symptomatological reduction would be made possible by the therapist's application of alternating bilateral visual (rapid eye movements following a point from left to right), auditory (tones emitted alternately in the right ear and then in the left ear) and/or tactile (tapping with fingers on the left and right shoulders alternately) stimulations administered while the patient concentrates on his or her intrusive thoughts. Accordingly, the aim of this research is to investigate the efficacy of self-administration of Alternating Bilateral Stimulations (ABS), on the emotional intensity (emotionality) associated with negative intrusive thoughts (or intrusions).
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the dynamics between theta and alpha oscillations in the control of working memory. These findings will be informative of what types of brain stimulation are most effective at modulating brain activity. Deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation are used for an increasing number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Participants: Eligible participants are patients who have previously had electrodes implanted to monitor epilepsy (outside of research activity). 50 participants will be recruited, 25 participants for each phase of the study. Procedures (methods): The participants will perform a cognitive control task. During the task, rhythmic trains of direct cortical stimulation will be delivered to the frontal cortex alone or to the frontal and parietal cortex. Electrocorticography will be collected concurrent with stimulation.
This study will use novel transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) protocols and electroencephalography (EEG) to modulate and measure brain oscillations that underlie working memory. tACS is a noninvasive method used to modulate the timing and patterns of brain rhythms via weak electric currents passed through electrodes on the scalp.
This study uses different types of functional magnetic resonance imagining (fMRI) to generate individual transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targets. During the TMS/fMRI imagining sessions, the investigators stimulate a target of either high or low regional controllability during a working memory task to investigate network responses and the impact of TMS on behavior.
In recent years, sports have become popular, and major gyms or private exercise studios have been opened continuously. A dazzling array of course content allows students to choose according to their preferences. Therefore, how to improve students' compliance with gyms or classrooms, and increase exercise frequency to develop exercise habits , is the current problem faced by the industry. However, in the case of limited time, the academic side is looking for more effective training courses, and the industry side is trying a variety of courses that are more attractive to the public, hoping to be different from the previous types of sports, improve the motivation of public sports, increase the frequency of exercise and then Maintain exercise habits. Compared with aerobic dance, boxing, yoga and Pilates, ballet is a niche course, but more and more studies have pointed out that ballet can effectively improve posture, improve lower limb muscle strength, and improve cognitive, executive memory, and working memory. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of ballet courses on lower limb explosiveness, static balance, dynamic balance, cognitive executive function and working memory of exercise studio students. degree and become one of the courses chosen by students for their classes.
This study aims to examine whether listening to natural sounds in a noisy outdoor environment compared to no natural sounds influences behavioural, cognitive, affective, and physiological markers.
This study aims to examine whether listening to natural sounds in a noisy virtual reality environment compared to no natural sounds influences physiological markers.
Working memory (WM) deficits are a transdiagnostic feature of adolescent psychopathology that substantially contribute to poor clinical and functional outcomes. This proposal will utilize a multimodal neuroscientific approach to investigate whether non-invasive brain stimulation can modulate the neural mechanisms underlying adolescent WM deficits. Directly in line with NIMH priorities, the researchers will identify the contributing roles of prefrontal and parietal regions in WM processes, as well as identify optimal targets and parameters for novel brain-based treatments in adolescent psychopathology. This study is funded by the NIMH-K23
This study will assess the impact of traveling wave transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on working memory performance in adults.
Establishment of effective, efficient, and evidence-based interventions in rehabilitation of working memory (WM) deficits after acquired brain injury (ABI) is sorely needed. Despite robust evidence for the usefulness of clinical hypnosis in a wide range of clinical conditions, and improved understanding of mechanisms underlying it ́s effects, the potential of clinical hypnosis in cognitive rehabilitation is virtually unexplored. The current study seeks to replicate resent intriguing findings where large effects of hypnotic suggestion were seen on WM capacity following ABI, and further, explore underlying mechanisms of change.
