Background: The embryonic development is a complex process and the behavioural traits of an organism are influenced by the experiential factors during early development. . The fact that sensory systems of birds and mammals do not become functional at the same time in development raises an interesting question as to how sensory systems and their respective stimulative histories might influence o...

Music is the big part of human life. It's competent of numerous health benefits including lowering stress levels, raising states of consciousness and changing moods. Numerous studies reported that music has favorable physiological effect on human especially during stress, anxiety and depression [1, 2]. Listening music that imitate or improves their emotional state [3, 4], manipulate emotions [5...

Reduced perception of somatosensory stimulation in patients with essential hypertension may be due to deficits in the ascending somatosensory pathway. Function in the ascending somatosensory pathway was assessed by measuring N9, N13, and N20 somatosensory-evoked potentials in 14 unmedicated essential hypertensives and 22 normotensives. N9 amplitudes were smaller and N13 amplitudes marginally sm...

P300, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) are widely used neurophysiological methods for objectively evaluating cognitive, somatosensory and brainstem auditory functions. We studied the P300, SEP and BAEP in 17 patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency (PaO2:58.2 +/- 7.0 mmHg; mean +/- SD) and 15 age-matched healthy subjects (PaO2: 84.4 +/- ...

We presented four types of music (two fast tempo and two slow tempo types) during illusory self-motion perception (vection). Vection was induced by expansional dots (optic flow), and participants estimated its strength via magnitude estimation and by pressing a button. Our purpose of this study is to examine whether music alter vection strength. Results showed that vection was facilitated by tw...

Phrase-final lengthening is a proposed speech universal, also found in music performance, and is reported in animal communication, e.g. birdsong. In this paper, we ask whether there is a general motor basis for these behaviors. We recorded the finger movements of five participants as they traced groups of zigzags on paper. Results show that participants reliably signalled groupings by pausing o...

Many scholars study shows that the background music is restaurant controllable environmental factor that can affect the customer waiting time, which has some management implications for solving customer wait time problem in the service sector. This article used experimental management method, randomly selected a large restaurant, and then observed each customer just coming in, recorded backgrou...
