The importance of cochlear processing for the formation of auditory brainstem and frequency following responses.

A model for the generation of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and frequency following responses (FFRs) is presented. The model is based on the concept introduced by Goldstein and Kiang [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 30, 107-114 (1958)] that evoked potentials ...

Virtual reality laparoscopic simulator for assessment in gynaecology.

A validated virtual reality laparoscopic simulator minimally invasive surgical trainer (MIST) 2 was used to assess the psychomotor skills of 21 gynaecologists (2 consultants, 8 registrars and 11 senior house officers). Nine gynaecologists failed to ...

Does training have consequences for the walk-run transition speed?

A number of authors when studying the walk-run transition phenomenon focused either on the mechanical or energy expenditure whilst only a few used both parameters concurrently. Moreover the literature demonstrates that the contribution of these variables ...

On-line trajectory modifications of planar, goal-directed arm movements.

Sometimes a goal-directed arm movement has to be modified en route due to an unforeseen perturbation such as a target displacement or a hand displacement by an external force. In this paper several aspects of that modification process are addressed. ...

Limiting frequency of the cochlear amplifier based on electromotility of outer hair cells.

Outer hair cells are the critical element for the sensitivity and sharpness of frequency selectivity of the ear. It is believed that fast motility (electromotility) of these cells is essential for this function. Indeed, force produced by outer hair cells ...

New visual technologies in court: directions for research.

Litigation is being transformed by new visual communication technologies, including videoconferencing, PowerPoint, and computer animations. Yet the effects of these visual technologies on legal decision making are largely unknown. In order to understand ...

The merits of a parallel genetic algorithm in solving hard optimization problems.

A parallel genetic algorithm for optimization is outlined, and its performance on both mathematical and biomechanical optimization problems is compared to a sequential quadratic programming algorithm, a downhill simplex algorithm and a simulated ...

Signal strength determines the nature of the relationship between perception and working memory.

Neurophysiological and behavioral studies have shown that perception and memory share neural substrates and functional properties. But are perception and the active working memory of a stimulus one and the same? To address this question in the spatial ...

P300 component identification using source analysis techniques: reduced latency variability.

P300 latency variability in normal subjects is a complicating factor in clinical event-related potential studies because it limits diagnostic applicability. The current study was conducted to determine whether identification of P300 (P3A and P3B) ...

Dynamics of visual feedback in a laboratory simulation of a penalty kick.

Sport scientists have devoted relatively little attention to soccer penalty kicks, despite their decisive role in important competitions such as the World Cup. Two possible kicker strategies have been described: ignoring the goalkeeper action (open loop) ...
