Psychophysiological stress assessment using biofeedback.

29 Jul 2009 In the last half century, research in biofeedback has shown the extent to which the human mind can influence the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, previously thought to be outside of conscious control. By letting people observe signals ... Read more...

Nonneurogenic voiding disorders: what's new?

29 Jun 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Increased interest in pediatric nonneurogenic voiding disorders (NNVDs), urodynamic testing and therapeutic options make this a timely topic for review. RECENT FINDINGS: The major themes covered this year included diagnosis of ... Read more...

Feedback-related negativity effects vanished with false or monetary loss choice.

25 May 2009 Feedback-related negativity (FRN) is sensitive to both monetary loss and evaluation of the correctness of a response. This study used a gambling task that required participants to choose between two cards that were unpredictably associated with ... Read more...
