This study investigated whether EEMD-matched filter signal analysis techniques, applied to visual-evoked potentials, would yield improved information transfer rates that would more easily allow a person's 'brainwaves' to control a small robot car.

Behavioral mimicry is an important element of human social interaction – but what drives it? This study shows that perceived reward has a powerful influence on how we mimic facial expressions in others.

Over a decade ago the rubber hand illusion was discovered. Since then, studies have investigated the neurophysiological and cognitive basis for the body-ownership illusion. This study investigated whether skin colour of the hand mattered.

Do particular extremes of emotions generate signature autonomic changes? If so, 'reading' people's physiological responses could provide insight into emotional status. Henderson et al (2012) examined this possibility using the microneurography technique.

This paper shows that the link between psychological stress and hyperalgesia is partly mediated by overactive spinomedullary processing pathways.

The goal of this research was to test the viability of a novel artificial mouth and tongue device, which may have potential applications in the food and flavor industry.

This study investigated the relationship between the size of crayfish weaponry and pincer grip force.

This study investigated the occurrence of cardiovascular deconditioning among astronauts during long-duration space flight (up to 180 days).

Researchers find evidence for a crucial role of PKGI-α oxidation in blood pressure regulation.

Modulating neuroimmune responses during early experiences of pain may hold the key in being able to avoid enhanced future pain responses (hyperalgesia).

The Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) Equipment Loan Program (2011) has awarded Dr. Glena Andrews a 2-year ADInstruments equipment loan for her proposal entitled "Exploring Cardiovascular Functioning in Students Engaged in Behavior Changes". Dr. Andrews currently teaches psychology at the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Cultural Studies at Northwest Nazarene University. A clinical psychologist whose training has primarily focused on neuropsychology, Dr. Andrews has been hard at work establishing student courses that cover Experimental Design, Abnormal Psychology, the Biological Foundations of Behavior and more.

Laboratory Testing Inc (LTI) is an accredited, independent testing service and calibration company located in Pennsylvania, USA. LTI provides accurate, affordable materials testing and nondestructive testing services to a large cross section of industrial components manufacturers internationally. Their range of testing equipment includes 5 PowerLab data acquisition systems, used for testing and certifying materials to specific industry quality standards.

A Parisian research group are using PowerLab systems to help understand why we mimic the emotional facial expressions we perceive in others during social interactions. As part of their studies, the group has configured their PowerLab’s digital inputs to automatically annotate LabChart’s physiological recordings with events generated by their choice of experiment design and presentation software, E-Prime.
