The application of auditory processing tests to patients with sensorineural hearing loss is controversial. Several studies have shown that it is difficult to separate peripheral from central hearing processes. In the present study, a Dutch auditory processing test battery was administered to 24 subjects with mild, relatively flat, symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss. Tests were administered ...

INTRODUCTION It is crucial to understand the complex processing of acoustic stimuli along the auditory pathway; comprehension of this complex processing can facilitate our understanding of the processes that underlie normal and altered human communication. AIM To investigate the performance and lateralization effects on auditory processing assessment in children with specific language impairm...

prototypes, a novel interaction system for blind users, which is especially designed and developed for non-visual touch screen devices and their applications. The FBT prototypes were developed with virtual keys to be identified based on finger holding positions. Two different models namely the single digit FBT and double digit FBT were propounded. FBT technique were applied using two different ...

The ability to symbolise numbers using numerals is unique humans and the acquisition of this needs be done via learning [1]. Repeated exposure sensory input can result in learning-induced alterations brain, forming memory engrams that are crucial for storage retrieval [2]. Familiarity an important factor affects performance because familiar stimuli tend have stronger strength with pre-existing ...

INTRODUCTION Emotional words in comparison with neutral words have different hemispheric specialization. It is assumed that the right hemisphere has a role in processing every kind of emotional word. The objective of the present study was the development of a Persian version of the dichotic emotional word test and evaluate its validation among adult Persian speakers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The...

the present study aimed to examine throwing accuracy and spatial and digit working memory of field dependent-independent participants. the group embedded figure test (geft) was distributed among 320 male students and based on the geft scores, 45 participants were randomly divided into field dependent, field independent and control group (15 participants/each group). the study included two tasks...

In the current pilot study, we attempt to find out how double neurofeedback influences functional hemispheric asymmetry and activity. We examined 30 healthy participants (8 males; 22 females, mean age = 29; SD 8). To measure activity, used computer laterometry in "two-source" lead-lag dichotic paradigm. Double biofeedback included 8 min of EEG oscillation recording with five minutes basic mode....
