However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...

To date, inappropriately adjusted driving speed is still one of the main causes for traffic accidents (Aarts et al., 2011). Recent theoretical approaches of modeling speed behavior assume that choice of speed is partly determined by environmental characteristics (e.g. Fuller, 2005). In addition, empirical studies revealed an influence of basic changes of environmental characteristics (e.g. Godl...
