Background: Despite the development of pediatric post-operative pain management and use of analgesic/narcotic drugs, post-operative pain remains as a common problem. Some studies suggested, the most effective approach to controlling immediate post-operative pain may include a combination of drug agents and non-drug methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of music therapy on...

This paper presents initial findings from a driving simulator study comparing user responses to a noise-robust voice-controlled system while driving to a noise-sensitive one in the presence of background noise. Twenty participants interacted with both noise-sensitive and noise-robust simulated voice-controlled infotainment systems while driving under three background noise conditions (no noise,...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects of listening to music during warm-up on short-term supramaximal performances during the 30-s wingate test in highly trained athletes. methods twelve young male athletes (20.6±1.8 yrs, 177±4.4 cm and 72.3±5.3 kg) underwent two wingate tests in separate sessions with a recovery period of 48 h in-between, either after a 10 min of ...

Background: Spatial learning and navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability consisting of multiple cognitive components. Despite intensive efforts conducted with the assistance of virtual reality technology and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) modality, the music effect on this cognition and the involved neuronal mechanisms remain elusive. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the...

Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) improves language skills among children with hearing loss. However, children with CIs still fall short of fulfilling some other needs, including musical perception. This is often attributed to the biological, technological, and acoustic limitations of CIs. Emotions play a key role in the understanding and enjoyment of music. The present study aimed to in...
