Niacin skin flush test: a research tool for studying schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND A body of biochemical evidence suggests that abnormal phospholipid metabolism may play a role in the etiology of schizophrenia, and possibly, other psychiatric and neurological diseases. Niacin, a B-complex vitamin, induces prostaglandin synthesis, vasodilatation, and skin flushing when applied as a solution on the skin or taken orally. In schizophrenia, diminished or absent skin res...

Undercurrents A Computer-Based Gameplay Tool to Support Tabletop Roleplaying

This paper introduces Undercurrents, a computer-based gameplay tool for providing additional communication and media streams during tabletop roleplaying sessions. Based upon a client-server architecture, the system is intended to unobtrusively support secret communication, timing of audio and visual presentations to game events, and real-time documentation of the game session. Potential end use...

A multi-agent game for studying human decision-making

Understanding how human beings delegate tasks to trustees when presented with reputation information is important for building trust models for human-agent collectives. However, there is a lack of suitable platforms for building large scale datasets on this topic. We describe a demonstration of a multi-agent game for training students in the practice of Agile software engineering. Through inter...
