The racing-game effect: why do video racing games increase risk-taking inclinations?

11 Jul 2009 The present studies investigated why video racing games increase players' risk-taking inclinations. Four studies reveal that playing video racing games increases risk taking in a subsequent simulated road traffic situation, as well as risk-promoting ... Read more...

Rapid eye-fixation training without eyetracking.

30 May 2009 Maintenance of stable central eye fixation is crucial for a variety of behavioral, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging experiments. Naive observers in these experiments are not typically accustomed to fixating, either requiring the use of ... Read more...

Generalization of gait adaptation for fall prevention: from moveable platform to slippery floor.

8 Dec 2008 A person's ability to transfer the acquired improvements in the control of center of mass (COM) state stability to slips induced in everyday conditions can have profound theoretical and practical implications for fall prevention. This study ... Read more...
