The affective and cognitive mechanisms elicited by the experience of social exclusion-or ostracism-have recently been explored using behavioral neurocognitive methods. Most studies took advantage Cyberball paradigm, a virtual ball tossing game with presumed co-players connected via internet. Consistent findings indicate that exclusion obviously threatens fundamental needs (belonging, self-esteem, meaningful existence, control) lowers mood. In this study, we followed question whether...

Social participation can be examined using the Cyberball paradigm, a virtual ball-tossing game. Reducing involvement of participant is supposed to activate neural alarm system, and threaten fundamental social needs. Our previous findings indicate that latter process linked an enhancement centro-parietal P3 amplitude, signalling modulation subjective expectancy involvement. A preceding more frontal ERP component, P2, does not depend probability involvement, but reflects appraisal reward. In...

The phenomenon of social exclusion can be investigated by using a virtual ball-tossing game called Cyberball. In neuroimaging studies, structures have been identified which are activated during exclusion. But to date the underlying mechanisms not fully disclosed. previous electrophysiological studies it was shown that P3 complex is sensitive manipulations in Cyberball paradigm and there correlation between amplitude self-reported pain. Since this posterior event-related potential (ERP)...

Engaging stakeholders in health-related research is becoming commonplace internationally and increasingly considered best practice to improve care management services. Many different groups have a stake dementia care, but the evidence base for stakeholder involvement still small.

Although a moderate blood alcohol concentration already affects attention, an effect on early visual processing is still questionable. Using psychophysical measures and visually evoked potentials (VEP), we examined the effects of contrast motion features.

In den Bürgerwissenschaften, auch bekannt unter dem englischen Begriff Citizen Science, existiert eine Vielzahl an Forschungsansätzen und Methoden. Während diese in vielen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen gut etabliert sind, finden sich augenscheinlich relativ wenige davon der medizinischen Gesundheitsforschung. Allerdings zeigt ein Blick die Praxis, dass bürgerwissenschaftliche Ansätze Medizin Gesundheitsforschung durchaus praktiziert werden, jedoch häufig anderen Namen. Der Artikel bietet...

Problems in wayfinding and spatial orientation are early symptoms of MCI dementia. These deficits decrease mobility which again leads to further cognitive decline. In a field study (SiNDeM) we developed pattern recognition model disorientated behavior based on accelerometric data. There is growing evidence that impaired functioning associated with changes gait performance, e.g. variability, measured dual-task walking conditions. Gait performance during these conditions also predictor falls...
