Multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques provide a promising measurement strategy for characterizing individual differences in cognitive processing, which many clinical theories associate with the development, maintenance, and treatment of psychopathology. The authors describe the use of deterministic and probabilistic MDS techniques for investigating numerous aspects of perceptual organizatio...

Evidence links type 2 diabetes to dementia risk. However, our knowledge on the initial cognitive deficits in diabetic individuals and the factors that might promote such deficits is still limited. This study aimed to identify the cognitive domains initially impaired by diabetes and the factors that play a role in this first stage. Within the population-based Swedish National Study on Aging and ...

A set of behavioral tasks for assessing perceptual and sensorimotor timing abilities in the general population (i.e., non-musicians) is presented here with the goal of uncovering rhythm disorders, such as beat deafness. Beat deafness is characterized by poor performance in perceiving durations in auditory rhythmic patterns or poor synchronization of movement with auditory rhythms (e.g., with mu...

Purpose: The GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) scale, a 4-point has been most widely used for judging auditory-perceptual severity dysphonia. However, in current clinical practice, sometimes more fragmented 0.5 scheme is being if the original scale ambiguous to assess. Thus, aim of present study was compare dysphonia using three evaluation tools, 4-point, 7-point and CAPEV...

Sensory attenuation, the top-down filtering or gating of afferent information, has been extensively studied in two fields: physiological and perceptual. Physiological sensory attenuation is represented as a decrease in the amplitude of the primary and secondary components of the somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) before and during movement. Perceptual sensory attenuation, described using the ...

The vestibular nervous system senses linear and angular acceleration upon the head during postural change generates nerve activity changes. autonomic regulates involuntary physiologic processes throughout peripheral central systems. systems interplay several brain regions to maintain homeostasis changes, called vestibulo-autonomic reflex. In this review, we first contemplated anatomic propertie...

The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes, COVID-19, along with damage to respiratory system, sometimes leads nervous system disorders. loss of smell taste in COVID-19 is most likely a perceptual nature. Because active accumulation information about symptomatology this nosology, data appeared on characteristic manifestations thedisease mild moderate cases, particular, violation s...
