An electrophysiological investigation into ‘Bagels’: a song recorded to reduce subclinical anxiety in youth Open
Introduction Receptive Music Therapy allows individuals with sub-clinical anxiety levels to self-medicate when and where they choose, but the effectiveness of self-administered ‘music medicine’ to enhance psychological well-being is still …

New approaches to the single-interval adjustment matrix yes-no task Open
Two adaptations of the Single-Interval Adjust-Matrix Yes-No (SIAM-YN) task, designed to increase the efficiency of absolute threshold estimation, are described. The first, the SIAM Twin Track (SIAM-TT) task, consists of two interleaved tra…

Music Affects State Anxiety and Brain Connectivity Open
Stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms can be reduced by listening to music, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this gap, we measured brain connectivity while participants listened to songs of different genres: ambi…

Temporal drivers of textural complexity: A pilot study and analysis of simultaneous temporal dominance of sensations and temporal textural complexity data Open
The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of simultaneous methodologies to describe dynamic textural complexity. In a simultaneous task, temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) and temporal textural complexity (TTC) were perform…

Unravelling the basis of perceived textural complexity: Effect of manipulating multi-component model foods on the perception of textural complexity Open
The aim of the current study was to identify and compare the individual and interaction effects of varying the hydrocolloid concentration of two components (к-carrageenan beads and/or an agar-based disk) in pectin-based gels, on the percep…

Electrophysiological indices of amplitude modulated sounds and sensitivity to noise Open
Annoyance to unwanted sound differs across individuals, though why noise sensitive individuals are more reactive to noise while others are more resilient remains unanswered. The Information Processing Hypothesis posits that noise sensitive…

A multivariate assessment of the rapidly changing procedure with McDowell's Evolutionary Theory of Behavior Dynamics Open
A multivariate analysis is concerned with more than one dependent variable simultaneously. Models that generate event records have a privileged status in a multivariate analysis. From a model that generates event records, we may compute pr…

Visual encoding of partial unknown shape boundaries Open
Prior research has found that known shapes and letters can be recognized from a sparse sampling of dots that mark locations on their boundaries. Further, unknown shapes that are displayed only once can be identified by a matching protocol,…

Demonstrating Invariant Encoding of Shapes Using A Matching Judgment Protocol Open
Many theories have been offered to explain how the visual system registers, encodes, and recognizes the shape of an object. Some of the most influential assume that border lines and edges activate neurons in primary visual cortex, and thes…

Methods for Fitting Olfactory Psychometric Functions: A Case Study Comparing Psychometric Functions for Individuals with a “Sensitive” or “Insensitive” Genotype for β-Ionone Open
In psychophysics, the detection of sensory signals can be depicted by a psychometric function (PF)-a sigmoid function determined by the intercept (i.e., threshold) and the slope (i.e., the rate of increase of detection probability). Fittin…

The Feasibility of Gelatin-Based Retronasal Stimuli to Assess Olfactory Perception Open
Links between some psychological disorders and olfactory deficits are well documented, and screening tests have been developed to exploit these associations. Odors can take one of two routes to the olfactory receptors in the nasal epitheli…
View article: The Negative Affect Hypothesis of Noise Sensitivity
The Negative Affect Hypothesis of Noise Sensitivity Open
Some studies indicate that noise sensitivity is explained by negative affect, a dispositional tendency to negatively evaluate situations and the self. Individuals high in such traits may report a greater sensitivity to other sensory stimul…

Lognormal Lorenz and normal receiver operating characteristic curves as mirror images Open
The Lorenz curve for assessing economic inequality depicts the relation between two cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), one for the distribution of incomes or wealth and the other for their first-moment distribution. By contrast, the…
