We investigate a general class of (black-box) constructions for range extension of weak pseudorandom functions: a construction based on m independent functions F1, . . . , Fm is given by a set of strings over {1, . . . , m}, where for example {〈2〉, 〈1, 2〉} corresponds to the function X 7→ [F2(X), F2(F1(X))]. All efficient constructions for range expansion of weak pseudorandom functions that we ...

There is however little known about the cognitive effects of body exposure. In the present study, eye movement registration (electroculography) as a direct index of selective visual attention was used while eating symptomatic and normal control participants were ex...
