There is clear evidence that parents can and do influence children. equally children's genetic makeup affects their own behavioral characteristics, also influences the way they are treated by parents. Twin ...Read More
Understanding everyday behavior relies heavily upon understanding our ability to improvise, how we are able continuously anticipate and adapt in order coordinate with environment others. Here consider the of musicians where they must spontaneously their actions co-performers produce novel musical expressions. Investigations this have traditionally focused on describing organization cognitive structures. The focus, here, however, is time-evolving patterns inter-musician movement coordination...
Abstract Background Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with sickle cell disease (SCD) are a vulnerable population high risk of morbidity that could be decreased effective self‐management. Previous research suggests mobile applications (apps) may facilitate AYA engagement in health‐promoting behaviors. The objectives this study were: (i) describe Internet access use SCD; (ii) identify barriers for self‐management population; (iii) collaborate to co‐design app would minimize barriers; (iv)...
The phenomenon of creativity has received a growing amount attention from scholars working across range disciplines. While this research produced many important insights, it also traditionally tended to explore in terms the reception products or outcomes, conceiving as cognitive process that is limited individual domain creative agent. More recently, however, researchers have begun develop perspectives on highlight patterns adaptive embodied interaction occur between multiple agents, well...
The US Health and Human Services Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force initiated a public–private partnership which led to the publication of its report in 2019. emphasized need for individualized, multimodal, multidisciplinary approaches pain management that decrease over-reliance on opioids, increase access care, promote widespread education substance use disorders. specifically called specialty organizations work together develop evidence-based guidelines. In response...
Abstract Musical collaboration emerges from the complex interaction of environmental and informational constraints, including those instruments performance context. Music improvisation in particular is more like everyday that dynamics emerge spontaneously without a rehearsed score or script. We examined how structure musical context affords shapes interactions between improvising musicians. Six pairs professional piano players improvised with two different backing tracks while we recorded...
Understanding stable patterns of interpersonal movement coordination is essential to understanding successful social interaction and activity (i.e., joint action). Previous research investigating such has primarily focused on the synchronization simple rhythmic movements (e.g., finger/forearm oscillations or pendulum swinging). Very few studies, however, have explored that emerge during task-directed complementary tasks. Thus, aim current study was investigate model behavioral dynamics a...
The application of digital technology to psychiatry research is rapidly leading new discoveries and capabilities in the field mobile health. However, increase opportunities passively collect vast amounts detailed information on study participants coupled with advances statistical techniques that enable machine learning models process such has raised novel ethical dilemmas regarding researchers' duties to: (i) monitor adverse events intervene accordingly; (ii) obtain fully informed, voluntary...
Abstract Objective Although >30% of epilepsy patients have drug‐resistant (DRE), typically those with generalized or multifocal disease not traditionally been considered surgical candidates. Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) the centromedian (CM) region thalamus now appears to be a promising therapeutic option for this patient population. We present outcomes following CM RNS 13 idiopathic (IGE) and eight onsets that rapidly generalize bilateral tonic–clonic (focal [FBTC]) seizures....
Significant knowledge gaps exist in the perioperative pain management of patients with a history chronic pain, substance use disorder, and/or opioid tolerance as highlighted US Health and Human Services Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force 2019 report. The report emphasized challenges caring for these populations need multidisciplinary care comprehensive approach. Such requires stakeholder alignment across multiple specialties settings. With intention codifying this into...
Abstract Brain computer interfaces (BCI) provide unprecedented spatiotemporal precision that will enable significant expansion in how numerous brain disorders are treated. Decoding dynamic patient states from signals with machine learning is required to leverage this precision, but a standardized framework for identifying and advancing novel clinical BCI approaches does not exist. Here, we developed platform integrates signal decoding connectomics demonstrate its utility across 123 hours of...
The complex systems principle of self-organization provides a new way understanding the behavioral dynamics behind emergent, spontaneous exchanges musical performance. In biological self-organization, energy is expended in form work which operates to maintain order system, collectively constraining possible behaviors components system can exhibit. When two self-organized become closely coupled they synergistic, teleodynamic such that circularly causal manner each system's helps and...
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with significant health challenges that often worsen during adolescence. Living SCD requires a substantial amount of self-management and mobile (mHealth) holds considerable promise for assessing changing behaviors to improve outcomes. We integrated app as an adjunct group intervention (SCThrive) hypothesized more engagement the mHealth would increase self-efficacy adolescents young adults (AYA) SCD. Twenty-six AYA ages 13–21 years (54% female;...
National evidence-based guidelines recommend offering hydroxyurea to patients with sickle cell anemia 9 months of age and older using shared decision making, but offer no strategies aid implementation. We developed a multicomponent via needs assessment, clinic observations, iterative feedback address parent promote discussion between clinicians parents. A total 75 parents 28 participated across all phases. The was rated as useful. Hydroxyurea knowledge improved decisional conflict decreased...
Managing the progress of drug-resistant epilepsy patients implanted with Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) System requires manual evaluation hundreds hours intracranial recordings. The generation these large amounts data and scarcity experts' time for necessitate development automatic tools to detect electroencephalographic (iEEG) seizure patterns (iESPs) expert-level accuracy. We developed an intelligent system identifying presence onset iESPs in iEEG recordings from RNS device.An dataset...
This study investigated the association between outdoor work and response to a behavioral skin cancer early detection intervention among men 50 years or older. Overall, 495 currently working in outdoor, mixed, indoor occupations were randomized video-based control group. At 7 months post intervention, workers reported lowest proportion of whole-body self-examination (wbSSE; 20%). However, at 13 mixed engaged more commonly wbSSE (36%) compared with (31%) (32%) workers. In adjusted analysis,...
Coherent collective behavior emerges from local interactions between individuals that generate group dynamics. An outstanding question is how to quantify coordination of non-rhythmic behavior, in order understand the nature these dynamics at both a and global level. We investigate this problem context small four pedestrians walking goal, treating their speed heading as behavioral variables. To measure coherence level, we define dispersion parameter employ principal components analysis...
INTRODUCTION: Although more than 30% of epilepsy patients are drug resistant, many have not traditionally been considered surgical candidates due to generalized or multifocal disease. However, responsive neurostimulation (RNS) the centromedian nucleus (CM) thalamus appears promising for this patient population. We present outcomes following CM RNS with idiopathic (IGE) disease, subgroup analyses patients’ seizure types and targeting methodology. METHODS: 21 resistant underwent bilateral...
