Previous research has demonstrated an influence of one's emotional state on estimates of spatial layout. For example, estimates of heights are larger when the viewer is someone typically afraid of heights (trait fear) or someone who, in the moment, is experiencing elevated levels of fear (state fear). Embodied perception theories have suggested that such a change in perception occurs in order t...

Which statistical features of spiking activity matter for how stimuli are encoded in neural populations? A vast body of work has explored how firing rates in individual cells and correlations in the spikes of cell pairs impact coding. Recent experiments have shown evidence for the existence of higher-order spiking correlations, which describe simultaneous firing in triplets and larger ensembles...

background: the aim of this study was to echocardiographically assess the effects of eecp (enhanced external counterpulsation therapy) therapy on systolic and diastolic cardiac function. methods: lvef (left ventricular ejection fraction), esv (end-systolic volume), edv (end-diastolic volume), sm (myocardial systolic wave) , ea (myocardial early diastolic wave), vp (propagation velocity), e/ea (...
