Advances in the application of information technology to sport performance.

This paper overviews the diverse information technologies that are used to provide athletes with relevant feedback. Examples taken from various sports are used to illustrate selected applications of technology-based feedback. Several feedback systems are ...

Biomechanics feedback for rowing.

Factors that affect boat speed are important determinants of rowing performance and should form the basis of feedback to rowers and their coaches. Biomechanical analysis of rowing has led to variables that are causally linked to boat speed. With modern ...

Management of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder--use of an effective paradigm.

The management of ADHD poses a great problem before the psychologists, psychiatrists and different behavioural scientists. The multi-model approach, combining pharmacologic with different non-pharmacologic interventions, is more effective than any form ...

Functional MRI for neurofeedback: feasibility study on a hand motor task.

We present an fMRI-based method that enables subjects to monitor and actively modulate their own brain activity as a form of biofeedback. On a 1.5 T clinical MR scanner, functional areas during a simple hand motor task were delineated by detecting signal ...

Volitional control of autonomic arousal: a functional magnetic resonance study.

Electrodermal activity reflects autonomic sympathetic innervation of dermal sweat glands providing an index of emotion-related bodily states of arousal. Relaxation techniques, which are facilitated by external (bio)feedback of electrodermal activity, can ...

Delayed auditory feedback and rhythmic tapping: evidence for a critical interval shift.

Delayed auditory feedback (DAF) impairs performance in speech, music, and tapping, with maximal impairment in speech occurring at a delay of about 200 msec. This critical interval has played a central role in many explanations of the DAF effect, ...

Heart rate indication using musical data.

Heart rate data reflects various physiological states such as biological workload, stress at work and concentration on tasks, drowsiness and the active state of the autonomic nervous system. This paper proposes system to indicate heart rate using musical ...

Speed-accuracy trade-off of grasping movements during microgravity.

BACKGROUND: Earthbound studies have shown that for pointing movements there is a specific relationship between movement speed, amplitude, and accuracy that is known as Fitts law. We investigated the validity of Fitts law for grasping movements in normal ...

Appraisals and impression management opportunities: person and situation influences on cardiovascular reactivity.

This study examined how threat and coping appraisals and impression management opportunities influenced cardiovascular reactivity within a self-presentation context. Participants were videotaped performing a speech that they believed might be evaluated. ...

Modulation of slow cortical potentials by transcranial magnetic stimulation in humans.

We studied the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on slow cortical potentials (SCPs) of the brain elicited during performance of a feedback and reward task. Ten healthy participants were trained to self-regulate their SCP amplitude using ...
