This paper describes the technical and aesthetic approach util ized for the development of an interactive audiovisual performance system designed specifically for use by chi ldren with multiple learning difficulties, including deafness and autism. Sound is transformed in real-time through the implementation of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and translated into a moving image. This image is adap...

Recent development in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies provides us with a increasing ability to a new multidisciplinary research, brain machine interactions (BMIs). In this paper, the critical technologies used in BMIs, such as bio-sensor, translation algorithms, and the major applications are discussed. By providing an overview of these aspects, we can see how advanced tec...

Investigations into the genetics of child psychiatric disorders have finally begun to shed light on molecular and cellular mechanisms of psychopathology. The first strains of success in this notoriously difficult area of inquiry are the result of an increasingly sophisticated appreciation of the allelic architecture of common neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, the consolidation ...

Performance and development are based on hard work, experience and learning. Learning how to change different behaviors is crucial to successful talent management plans. Within the brain there are complex connected circuits that can identify threats. The brain reacts to change as a threat. There is also a collection of brain structures tied to a natural reward system that are involved in the re...

A central goal of cellular and molecular neuroscience is to explain the development and function of the nervous system in terms of the function of genes and proteins. Models of gene regulation have evolved from being focused on transcriptional and translational control to include a variety of regulatory mechanisms such as epigenetic control, mRNA splicing, microRNAs, and local translation. Here...

Functional neuroimaging has increased our understanding of human brain function tremendously and has become a standard tool in clinical and cognitive neuroscience research. We briefly review its methodological foundations and describe remaining challenges for translational research. The application of neuroimaging results to individual subjects, for example in predicting treatment response or d...

Direct human brain recordings have transformed the scope of neuroscience in the past decade. Progress has relied upon currently available neurophysiological approaches in the context of patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures for medical treatment. While this setting has provided precious opportunities for scientific research, it also has presented significant constraints on the developmen...

abstract introduction: neuro-occupation is one of the newest models in occupational therapy (ot). the nature of this model is based on the coexistence and dynamic interactions between brain’s neural system functions and engagement of an individual in occupations. neuro-occupation model holistically views the individual as a blending of neuroscience and occupation. the human brain is perceived t...

Legislators, jurists, and advocates often turn to science to solve complicated normative problems addressed by the law. This article addresses what motivates these parties, surveys the psychology of law and its concepts of the person and responsibi l i ty, and describes the general relat ion of neuroscience to law in terms of the issue of “translation.” Numerous distractions have clouded our un...

This article reviews current research and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the neuroscience of food reward in animals and humans, examines the scientific hypothesis of food addiction, discusses methodological and terminology challenges, and identifies knowledge gaps and future research needs. Topics addressed herein include the role of reward and hedonic aspects in the regulation of food inta...
