Single unit recording has been used as a well-known technique to study the electrical behavior of neurons. In this respect, the classical methods are rather expensive. In this study a simple and inexpensive method for single unit recording studies has been introduced. Computer sound card was used for data acquisition. Neural responses were saved via simple sound applicable packages and then ana...

The brainstem reticular formation (RF) was one of the first structures to be investigated using single unit recording techniques. One procedure common to all the early studies was the attempt to eliminate spontaneous behavior prior to commencing unit studies. This was not done because investigators thought that behavior was unworthy of study. Rather, it was a direct result of the unit recording...

In this paper, we demonstrate the importance of combinations of facial expressions and their timing, in explaining a person's conversational skills in a series of brief non-romantic conversations. Video recordings of 365 fourminute conversations before and after a randomized intervention were analyzed in which facial action units (AUs) were examined over different time segments. Male subjects (...
