EDITORIAL COMMENT The Neurobiology of Health Communication

This issue of Psychosomatic Medicine describes findings from an innovative study by Kang et al that used neuroimaging methods to quantify neural responses to health communications. Findings indicated that sedentary individuals who hold self-transcendent values show attenuated limbic threat responses to communications about the benefits of physical activity. Furthermore, participants who were in...

Comment Flow: Visualizing Communication along Network Path

Social networks are abstract organizational structures that help us understand the relationships among a group of interconnected individuals. Much recent research has focused on understanding the structure of these networks. Yet the network itself is a conceptual topology. The key is the activity that flows along the network paths: the support offered, the information given, the gossip exchange...

Reply to comment on Y-00 quantum secure communication protocol

Recently, a criticism of the Yuen protocol (αη scheme) was made. This letter shows that the claim by Nishioka, and Imai group(Mitsubishi and University of Tokyo) is incorrect before they discuss whether αη scheme is quantum or classical. This misunderstanding comes from that these authors disregard the concept of signal detection theory and the basic concept of Y-00. Several industries have sta...

Communication: Comment on the effective temporal and spectral resolution of impulsive stimulated Raman signals.

A compact correlation-function expression for time-resolved stimulated Raman signals, generated by combining a spectrally narrow (picosecond) with a broad (femtosecond) pulse, is derived using a closed time path loop diagrammatic technique that represents forward and backward time evolution of the vibrational wave function. We show that even though the external spectral and temporal parameters ...
