One of the main reasons for fatal accidents on the road is distracted driving. The continuous attention of an individual driver is a necessity for the task of driving. While driving, certain levels of distraction can cause drivers to lose their attention, which might lead to an accident. Thus, the number of accidents can be reduced by early detection of distraction. Many studies have been condu...

We have developed a neuromodulation approach that targets peripheral nerves and utilizes their afferents as signaling conduits to influence brain function. We investigated the effects of this transdermal electrical neurosignaling (TEN) approach on physiological responses to acute stress induction. TEN was targeted to the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of the right trigeminal nerve and cervi...

the aim of this research was to investigate the ability of arousal control in male and female athletes using mental imagery and biofeedback methods. participants were 30 male and female athlete students of tehran university (mean aged 23) who were assigned into two homogeneous groups based on vividness of movement imagery questionnaire 2. participants were given acoustic biofeedback during thre...

The paper presents an approach to galvanic skin response (GSR) spontaneous component analysis and modeling. In the study a classification of biofeedback training methods is given, importance of intelligent methods development is shown. The INTENS method, which is perspective for intellectualization, is presented. An important problem of biofeedback training method intellectualization – estimati...

THE GALVANIC CELL The major corrosion concern in the water works industry is “galvanic” corrosion. Galvanic corrosion takes place due to current flow in a “galvanic cell” which is defined as (1) two dissimilar metals, an anode and a cathode, (2) in electrical contact with each other and (3) a common electrolyte. A galvanic cell is produced when the pipeline components come in contact with the s...

The effect of yoga and relaxation changes in psychophysiological parameters in response to the stress of examination in 75 medical students was studied. Initially five parameters (anxiety level, heart rate, blood pressure, galvanic skin resistance and choice reaction time) were recorded, a month before the examination and on the day of examination. Students were then randomly divided into 3 gro...

There are numerous studies which suggest that perhaps music is truly the language of emotions. Music seems to have an almost willful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, and indeed requires deeper neurophysiological investigations to gain a better understanding. The current study makes an attempt in that direction to explore the effect of context on music perception. To investigate the...

In recent papers Caldwell, Bibby and Brown (2002, 2003) (hereafter referred to as CBB) have introduced a new and elegant method for analysing magnetotelluric (MT) data which can be applied directly to galvanically distorted data in a regional conductivity structure of any dimension. It is therefore more general and direct than previous methods (e.g. Bahr, 1988; Groom and Bailey, 1989; Smith, 19...
