The landscape of psychiatry is ever evolving and has recently begun to be influenced more heavily by new technologies. One novel technology which may have particular application the metaverse, a three-dimensional digital social platform accessed via augmented, virtual, mixed reality (AR/VR/MR). metaverse allows interaction users in virtual world can measured manipulated, posing at once exciting possibilities significant potential challenges risks. While final form nascent not yet clear,...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain technique with substantial evidence for its safety and tolerability in adults. However, less than 5% of published tDCS research pediatrics. Our primary objective was to investigate safety, tolerability, acceptability sample children We hypothesized that adults would be equal regard acceptability. tested this hypothesis using Bayesian approach. Sixty participants aged 6-45 (balanced sex) participated randomized...
BACKGROUND: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, is the most common presentation of TBI in emergency department (ED), but a diagnosis mTBI may be missed patients presenting with other acute injuries after motor vehicle collision (MVC). OBJECTIVE: To estimate frequency diagnoses seen ED MVC who later developed chronic pain syndromes. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: An interventional management clinic. METHODS: Data were drawn from information collected during...
(1) Background: Mild traumatic brain injury produces significant changes in neurotransmission including oscillations. We investigated potential quantitative electroencephalography biomarkers 57 patients with post-concussive syndrome and chronic pain following motor vehicle collision, 54 healthy nearly age- sex-matched controls. (2) Methods: Electroencephalography processing was completed MATLAB, statistical modeling SPSS, machine learning Rapid Miner. Group differences were calculated using...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel treatment option for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. To facilitate translation into clinical practice, we interviewed parents of children who have experienced experimental tDCS. A grounded theory approach using open, axial, and selective coding provided seven emergent themes acceptability: tDCS provides hope parents, safety tolerability side effects versus medication, burden treatment, education trust with care providers,...
The polytrauma clinical triad (PCT) is a complex disorder composed of three comorbid diagnoses chronic pain, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), and postconcussion syndrome (PCS). PCT has been documented in veterans returning from deployment, but this the first report on prevalence nonmilitary personnel after motor vehicle collision (MVC).Data were drawn routine intake assessments completed by 71 patients referred to community-based clinic for pain management. All checklist Diagnostic Statistical...
Grossberg’s adaptive resonance theory (ART) provides a framework for understanding possible interactions between mental imagery and visual perception. Our purpose was to integrate, within ART, the phenomenological notion of image vividness thus investigate biasing effects individual differences on processing. Using Vernier acuity task, we tested whether indirect estimation relative V1 size (small, medium, large) self-reported vividness, in three subgroups 53 observers, could predict...
We present a preliminary data-based assessment of measurement reliability the commercial 14-electrode Emotiv EPOCTM EEG wireless system in distinguishing between electrophysiological states emotional function, as compared to standard research-lab stationary 32-electrode for personalized single-individual use. Individual observers completed two tasks designed elicit neural changes arousal and valence while simultaneously recording their EEGs with both systems separate sessions. Participants...
We explored whether two visual mental imagery experiences may be differentiated by electroencephalographic (EEG) and performance interactions with concurrent orienting external attention (OEA) to stimulus location subsequent visuospatial detection. measured within-subject (N = 10) event-related potential (ERP) changes during out-of-body (OBI)—vivid of a vertical line outside the head/body—and within-body (WBI)—vivid within one’s own head. Furthermore, we ERP offset Vernier acuity...
In the last decade there has been significant growth in interest and application of using EEG (electroencephalography) outside laboratory as well medical clinical settings, for more ecological mobile applications. However, now such applications have mainly included military, educational, cognitive enhancement, consumer-based games. Given monetary advantages, consumer-grade devices Emotiv EPOC emerged, however make certain compromises data quality order to become affordable easy use. The goal...
Long-duration spaceflight missions are on the rise. However, recent literature suggests that prolonged and deep-space exposure is likely to introduce increased risks for brain health consequent detriments performance well-being. Given up-to-date evidence, we argue transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) a promising solution mitigating behavioral neurocognitive associated with long-duration missions. We provide support from Earth-based applications of TMS review several advantages it holds...
Abstract Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy (SNT), has recently shown rapid efficacy in difficult to treat (DTT) depression. We conducted an exploratory analysis of individual symptom improvements during treatment, correlated with fMRI, investigate this improvement 23 DTT participants from SNT RCT (12 active, 11 sham). Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale item 7 (Lassitude) was the earliest show between active and sham, as early treatment day 2. Lassitude score at 3 predictive response 4...
