Event-related potential (ERP) studies on attentional brain processes in insomnia disorder (ID) have yielded inconsistent findings. Such inconsistencies may relate to small sample sizes, limited corrections for multiple comparisons, and the possibility of heterogeneity within clinical population. We aimed overcome these limitations by studying ERP responses both across subtypes a larger ID. ERPs were recorded 201 participants with ID 70 normal sleeper controls (NS) an auditory oddball task....
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The global disease burden of major depressive disorder urgently requires prevention in high-risk individuals, such as recently discovered insomnia subtypes. Previous studies targeting with fully automated eHealth interventions to prevent depression are inconclusive: dropout was high and likely biased, symptoms untreated participants on average improved rather than worsened. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This randomized...
The pupil of the eye constricts when moving focus from an object further away to closer by. This is called near response, which typically occurs together with accommodation and vergence responses. When immersed in virtual reality mediated through a head-mounted display, this triad disrupted by vergence-accommodation conflict. However, it not yet clear if disruption also affects response. Two experiments were performed assess this. first experiment had participants follow target that appeared...
Abstract Using heart rate (HR) measurements to detect mental stress in naturalistic settings is hampered by the physiological impact of hemodynamic and metabolic demands. Correcting HR for these demands can help isolate fluctuations associated with psychosocial responses, a concept termed additional (aHR). This study examined whether adding predictors posture, activity type, lagged movement intensity prolonged physical (PA) improved aHR estimation across various manipulations stress, PA...
Introduction: Recently, the HEAR-aware app was developed to support adults who are eligible for hearing aids (HAs) but not yet ready use them. The serves as a self-management tool, offering assistance range of target behaviors (TBs), such communication strategies and emotional coping. Using ecological momentary assessment intervention, prompts users complete brief surveys regarding challenging listening situations they encounter in their daily lives (ecological assessment). In response,...
Abstract Previous research has demonstrated that hearing impairment is associated with heightened subjective experiences of listening effort, fatigue, and stress, impacting daily functioning. This study aimed to evaluate whether alters physiological stress systems different aspects could vary in predicting dysregulation these systems. Hallmark measures parasympathetic sympathetic nervous system activity were derived from electrocardiography, impedance cardiography, electrodermal recordings...
