Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the brain and the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as signifi...

Sharp spatial selectivity is critical to auditory performance, particularly in pitch-related tasks. Most contemporary cochlear implants have employed monopolar stimulation that produces broad electric fields, which presumably contribute to poor pitch and pitch-related performance by implant users. Bipolar or tripolar stimulation can generate focused electric fields but requires higher current t...

The diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle (ARMD) is a physiological change that occurs in female body due to pregnancy, hormonal changes, mechanical stress on abdominal wall by fetal growth and displacement organs. Physiotherapy plays very important role, promoting stimulation mainly pelvic muscles improve tone.

abstract physical injuries during taekwondo competitions often happen due to physical contacts during fighting; therefore, a training protocol was designed in line with the physiological stress of a real competition according to la, hr and rpe changes so that the athletes could perform the techniques with a pad instead of a real opponent. for this purpose, 12 professional taekwondo players from...

Acupuncture is commonly performed on acupoints. A comparison of quantitative physiological alterations induced by stimulation on different acupoints has never been performed in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in humans. Therefore, we investigated changes in blood flow volume (BFV) in the SMA as an indicator of physiological effects induced by stimulation on 3 points. Thirty healthy partici...

Background: Brain injuries are a major cause of mortality and disability. Sensory stimulation can reduce the complications of brain injuries in the patients.  Objectives: To compare the effect of foot reflexology with tactile stimulation of the hand on level of consciousness and physiological indicators in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients  Materials & Methods: 60 TBI patients hospitalize...

It has been known widely that emotion effects the human being physically and phsycologically, whether it is a positive or the negative emotion. With the develpoment of e-Health sensors technology nowadays, those human emotions can be described physiologically so that some negative impacts of negative emotions then can be avoided through monitoring. This study presents the physiological data of ...
