Previous research has demonstrated that an episodic specificity induction--brief training in recollecting details of a recent experience--enhances performance on various subsequent tasks thought to draw upon episodic memory processes. Existing work has also shown that mental simulation can be beneficial for emotion regulation and coping with stressors. Here we focus on understanding how episodi...

Food allergy can be considered a failure in the induction of oral tolerance. Recently, great interest has been focused on understanding the mechanisms and the contributing factors of oral tolerance development, hoping for new definitive interventions in the prevention and treatment of food allergy. Given that food processing may modify the properties and the nature of dietary proteins, several ...

With the dramatic increase of importance of communication networks came the need to understand better their behavior at different scales. This requires a construction of stochastic models that can plausibly arise as the result of activities associated with such networks. Limiting stochastic processes often scale, and one hopes that such models can provide insight into scaling of properties of t...

Affective computation allows machines to express and recognize emotions, a core component of computer games. A natural way to express emotion is language, through text and speech; computational methods that accurately recognize emotion in text and speech are therefore important. Machine learning techniques such as support vector machines (SVMs) have been used successfully for topic detection in...

Methods Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, aged 19-60 years undergoing ele...

The present mini-review was aimed at exploring the frontal EEG asymmetry of mood. With respect to emotion, interpreted as a discrete affective process, mood is more controllable, more nebulous, and more related to mind/cognition; in addition, causes are less well-defined than those eliciting emotion. Therefore, firstly, the rational for the distinction between emotion and mood was provided. The...
