The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173 429 respondents in 48 countries. open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers investigate how psychological differ across countries and cultures, this has impacted behaviour, coping trust government efforts slow spread virus. Starting March 2020, leveraged convenience unpaid online recruitment generate public data. objective present analysis is...
Abstract Gyrocardiography (GCG) is a new non-invasive technique for assessing heart motions by using sensor of angular motion – gyroscope attached to the skin chest. In this study, we conducted simultaneous recordings electrocardiography (ECG), GCG, and echocardiography in group subjects consisting nine healthy volunteer men. Annotation underlying fiducial points GCG presented compared opening closing valves measured pulse wave Doppler. Comparison between synchronized tissue Doppler imaging...
Growing interest in monitoring sleep and well-being has created a market for consumer home devices. Additionally, disorder diagnostics, dream research would benefit from reliable valid Yet, majority of currently available devices lack validation. In this study, the parameter assessment accuracy Beddit Sleep Tracker (BST), an unobtrusive non-wearable device based on ballistocardiography, was evaluated by comparing it with polysomnography (PSG) measures. We measured total time (TST), onset...
The idea that dreaming is a simulation of the waking world currently becoming far more widely shared and accepted view among dream researchers. Several philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists have recently characterized in terms virtual reality, immersive spatiotemporal simulation, or realistic useful simulation. Thus, conception as simulated now unifies definitions basic nature within consciousness research. This novel concept has consequently led to social interactions dreams, known...
This article's main contributions are twofold: 1) to demonstrate how apply the general European Union's High-Level Expert Group's (EU HLEG) guidelines for trustworthy AI in practice domain of healthcare and 2) investigate research question what does "trustworthy AI" mean at time COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, we present results a post-hoc self-assessment evaluate trustworthiness an system predicting multiregional score conveying degree lung compromise patients, developed verified by...
Primary stressors are direct outcomes of extreme events (e.g., viruses, floodwater) whereas secondary stem from pre-disaster life circumstances and societal arrangements illness, problematic policies) or inefficient responses to the event. Secondary can cause significant long-term damage people affected but also tractable amenable change. In this study we explored association between stressors, social identity processes, support, perceived stress resilience. Pre-registered analyses data...
Do the words we use reveal how feel? While much research has explored language in social media, little is known about content of spontaneous thoughts and experiences—daytime mind-wandering nighttime dreaming—reflects well-being ill-being. Here, analyzed 1496 reports (N = 152) 1781 dream 172) using Linguistic Inquiry Word Count. Participants also self-reported their Linear mixed-effects models showed that ill-being (negative affect, anxiety depression symptoms) was associated with negative...
Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are source numerous foundational findings in interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research predictive validity ideal preference matching Do people positively evaluate partners who match vs. mismatch their ideals?) has become mired several problems. First, articles exhibit discrepant analytic and reporting practices. Second, different emerge across laboratories...
Summary The aim of this study was to compare the emotional content dream reports collected at home upon morning awakenings with those in laboratory early and late rapid eye movement ( REM ) sleep awakenings. Eighteen adults (11 women, seven men; mean age = 25.89 ± 4.85) wrote down their dreams every immediately awakening during a 7‐day period. Participants also spent two non‐consecutive nights where they were awoken 5 min into each continuous stage, which gave verbal report. total 151 120...
Previous research indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected dreaming negatively. We compared 1132 dreams collected with prospective two-week dream diary during to 166 before pandemic. hypothesized would increase number of threatening events, threats related diseases, and severity threats. also include direct references will more disease-related threats, severe In contradiction our hypotheses, results showed no differences between pre-pandemic samples in or However, had Our thus do...
Abstract How to classify the human condition? This is one of main problems psychiatry has struggled with since first diagnostic systems. The furore over recent editions systems DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 evidenced it still pose a wicked problem. Recent advances in techniques methods artificial intelligence computing power which allows for analysis large data sets have been proposed as possible solution this other classification, diagnosing, treating mental disorders. However, disorders contain some...
Abstract Can the brain be shifted into a different state using simple social cue, as tests on highly hypnotizable subjects would suggest? Demonstrating an altered global is difficult. Brain activation varies greatly during wakefulness and can voluntarily influenced. We measured complexity of electrophysiological response to transcranial magnetic stimulation in one ‘hypnotic virtuoso’. Such measure produces arguably outside subject’s voluntary control has been proven adequate for...
Individuals vary in their self-disclosure motivations and physiological responses. It is unclear, however, whether the content of a person's self-view accounts for this variation. In paper we explore impact on autonomic nervous system activity participants with high low levels grandiose narcissistic traits. Three conversational experiments were conducted to simulate different contexts self-disclosure: getting acquainted (Experiment 1), talking about emotional life experiences 2), telling...
In the context of monitoring dogs, usually, accelerometers have been used to measure dog's movement activity. Here, we study another application (and gyroscopes)—seismocardiography (SCG) and gyrocardiography (GCG)—to monitor heart. Together, 3-axis SCG GCG constitute 6-axis mechanocardiography (MCG), which is inbuilt most modern smartphones. Thus, objective this assess feasibility using a smartphone-only solution studying A clinical trial (CT) was conducted at University Small Animal...
Despite a surge of studies on the effects COVID-19 our well-being, we know little about how pandemic is reflected in people's spontaneous thoughts and experiences, such as mind-wandering (or daydreaming) during wakefulness dreaming sleep. We investigated whether COVID-19-related general concern, anxiety, daily worry are associated with fluctuation affective quality dreaming, to what extent these associations can be explained by poor sleep quality. used ecological momentary assessment asking...
Among the most pressing challenges for dream science is difficulty of establishing theoretical unification between various theories, ideas, and findings that have been presented in literature to answer question how it possible construct a solid scientific theory with predictive explanatory power science. We suggest concept “world-simulation” serves as core theoretically unified paradigm describe explain dreaming. From this general concept, more specific theories function dreaming can be...
Present a low power, miniaturized biomedical sensor node featuring electro-, seismo-and gyrocardiography. Measurement session can be set up and controlled over Bluetooth Low Energy interface. Acquired raw or preprocessed data stored locally to the microSD memory card. To best of authors' knowledge, presented device is smallest reported enable heart monitoring from electrical mechanical (with six degrees freedom) viewpoint. The average power consumption less than 15mW, enabling continuous...
Based on the Social Simulation Theory of dreaming (SST), we studied effects voluntary social seclusion dream content and sleep structure. Specifically, Compensation Hypothesis, which predicts contents to increase during seclusion, Sociality Bias - a ratio between wake interactions Strengthening an in familiar characters seclusion. Additionally, assessed changes proportion REM sleep. Sleep data reports from 18 participants were collected preceding (n = 94), 90) after 119) retreat. Data...
