Consequently, they decided to look for cerebral potentials in man related to volitional acts and to take voluntary movement as their research paradigm. (wikipedia.org)
The young researchers stored the electroencephalogram and electromyogram of self-initiated movements (fast finger flexions) on tape and analyzed the cerebral potentials preceding movements time-reversed with the start of the movement as the trigger, literally turning the tape over for analysis since they had no reversal playback or programmable computer.

In the case of eye movements eye muscle potentials have to be distinguished from cerebral potentials. (wikipedia.org)
Cognition2
and 6 of 10 trials reported gains in early cognition using sticky mittens and contingent toys. (lww.com)
In contrast, reduced power is associated with increased threat, punishment, and social constraint and thereby activates inhibition-related negative affect, vigilant, systematic cognition, and situationally constrained behavior. (studylib.net)
Mechanisms2
Explaining the many varieties of working memory variation: dual mechanisms of cognitive control. (bsl.nl)
In speaking to the American Psychiatric Association ( 1 ) he stressed the utility and the inadequacy of known mechanisms for stabilizing nervous activity, namely, (a) the threshold of nonlinear components, (b) the negative feedback of reflexive mechanisms, (c) the internal switching to counteract changes - " ultrastablllty " ( 2 ) - , and (d) the redundancy of code and or channel.

Measurements1
Differences in cerebral functioning were examined using measurements of absolute and relative power and intrahemispheric and interhemispheric coherence. (eg.net)
Differences2
We need to go beyond intelligence and look at genetic differences that may underlie variation in personality traits, regulation of emotions, time orientation, and so forth. (blogspot.com)
Overall respondents showed high levels of agreement with positive statements about the employment of persons with disabilities and high levels of disagreement with negative statements - a finding that is generally encouraging, even if comparative findings show some considerable differences.

Genetic1
Relationship between genetic variations in serotonin transporter, brain activity, and depression. (dericbownds.net)
Processes1
Concurrently, the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV), an ERP index of anticipatory processes elicited by task cues, became more pronounced in the post-training session in the MBSR group only. (bsl.nl)
Attention1
They were taught to shift the focus of their attention from the negative emotions that triggered their aggressive behavior to a neutral stimulus, the soles of their feet. (virginia.edu)
Human1
My last post described a Chinese project to identify the many genes that contribute to normal variation in human intelligence. (blogspot.com)
Positive1
Valenced experiences are those experiences that take on a positive or negative phenomenal affect. (effectivealtruism.org)
