Listen (Awakening)

For the ICAD conference 2004 in Sydney a sonification of ECG and other data was carried out to merge the boundaries between artistic sonification and scientific auditory display. Listen (Awakening) attempts to create in sound the activity of the brain becoming aware of a piece of music and gradually building in its subconscious reaction and appreciation. Certain constraints were put on the soni...

Awakening heterochromatin

Awakening heterochromatin ites in the human genome once thought to be inert structural material are brought to life in response to stress, according to results from Jolly et al. (page 25). These inactive DNA stretches are binding sites for HSF1, a transcription factor that activates individual heat shock genes and accumulates in nuclear granules after heat shock. These granules were, like HSF1,...

Is There a Testosterone Awakening Response in Humans?

Circulating testosterone (T) follows a diurnal pattern with high waking levels that decline across the day. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis produces cortisol in a similar manner but also undergoes an abrupt increase in hormone secretion immediately upon waking (a cortisol awakening response, CAR). Whether the hypothalamicpituitary-gonadal axis, and circulating T levels, exhibit a simila...

Predictive value of EEG-awakening for behavioral awakening from coma

BACKGROUND A reliable predictor for early recovery of consciousness in comatose patients is of great clinical significance. Here we aimed to investigate the potentially prognostic value of electroencephalogram-reactivity (EEG-R) in combination with sleep spindles, termed EEG-awakening, for behavioral awakening in etiologically diverse comatose patients. METHODS We performed a prospectively ob...
