We examined whether the attentional focus adopted on a supra-postural task has an influence on postural control. Similar to Riley, Stoffregen, Grocki, and Turvey (Human Movement Science 18 (1999) 795), participants were instructed to stand still while lightly touching a loosely hanging sheet with their fingertips. However, instructions varied slightly under two conditions: Participants were eit...

In games with costly signaling, some equilibria are vulnerable to deviations which could be “unambiguously” interpreted as coming from a unique set of Sender-types. This occurs when these types are precisely the ones who gain from deviating for any beliefs the Receiver could form over that set. We show that this idea characterizes a unique equilibrium outcome in two classes of games. First, in ...

OBJECTIVE This case report presents an application of spinal cord stimulation to a patient with intractable abdominal pain Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, that conventional treatment failed to ameliorate. MEASUREMENTS The patient underwent an uneventful spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial with percutaneous placement of 2 temporal 8-electrode epidural leads (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minne...

Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is a rare autosomal, dominantly-inherited, hamartoma syndrome with distinct phenotypic features. Mutations in the PTEN gene have been identified in PTEN hamartoma tumor syndromes. Our aim was to determine the correlation of phenotype-genotype relationships in a BRRS case. We have evaluated a PTEN mutation in a patient with vascular anomalies and the phen...

We report the bilateral absence of response to tests of vestibular function in 5 patients with familial dysautonomia.
