The recognition of repetitive movements characteristic of walking people, galloping horses, or ying birds is a routine function of the human visual system. It has been demonstrated that humans can recognize such activity solely on the basis of motion information. We present a novel computational approach for detecting such activities in real image sequences on the basis of the periodic nature o...

objective: generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the general ‎population. several studies suggest that anxiety sensitivity is a vulnerability factor in generalized ‎anxiety severity. however, some other studies suggest that negative repetitive thinking and ‎experiential avoidance as response factors can explain this relationship. therefore, this study ‎aime...

Repetitive queries refer to those queries that are likely to be executed repeatedly in the future. Queries such as those used to generate periodic reports, perform routine summarization and data analysis belong to this category. Repetitive queries can constitute a large portion of the daily activities of a database system, and thus deserve extra optimization efforts. In this paper, we propose t...

In artificial laboratory situations where subjects undergo repetitive self-generated or externally imposed head rotations, visual-vestibular interaction during the wearing of telescopic spectacles can markedly augment gain of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). The present study was conducted to determine whether the wearing of these aids for the visually impaired is associated with similar visu...

The neural substrates of fatigue induced by muscular activity have been addressed in depth in relation to isometric tasks. For these activities, when fatigue develops, it has been noted that the duration of the silent periods (SPs) increases in response to both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of primary motor cortex or electric cervicomedullary stimulation (CMS). However, fatigue is kno...

The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that activation of the muscle reflex elicits less sympathetic activation in skeletal muscle than in internal organs. In decerebrate rats, we examined renal and lumbar (mainly innervating hindlimb blood vessels) sympathetic nerve activities (RSNA and LSNA, respectively) during 1 min of 1) repetitive (1- to 4-s stimulation-to-relaxation) con...

objective: the transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral treatments for treating the coexistence of anxiety and mood disorders received useful empirical supports in the recent years. however, these treatments still have moderate efficacy. following the improvements and developments in transdiagnostic protocols and considering the importance of repetitive negative thinking as a core transdiagnostic f...

transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) has been applied to a growing number of psychiatric disorders as a neurophysiological probe, a primary brain-mapping tool and a candidate treatment. although most investigations have focused on the treatment of major depression, increasing attention has been paid to anxiety disorders. the aim of this study is to long time (for 30 days) effect of repetitiv...
