Comparison of QEEG and response accuracy in good vs poorer performers during a vigilance task

Psychophysiological evaluation of simulator sickness evoked by a graphic simulator

“…As a result, changes in the autonomic nervous system were very similar to the increasing rate of movement in the sympathetic nerves. This phenomenon is similar to earlier research on motion sickness (Money, 1970;Valentino et al, 1993).…”

A Quantitative Electroencephalographic Correlate of Sustained Attention Processing

“…Once the demographic survey was completed, each participant was seated in a comfortable chair while electrodes were placed according to the Expanded International 10-20 System of electrode placement. Each participant was then instructed to listen, with eyes closed, to a computer-generated recording containing pseudo-randomly arranged letters of the alphabet presented binaurally through earphones (Valentino, Arruda, & Gold, 1993). Each participant was instructed to press a button using his or her right hand each time he/she heard a double-letter target (the same letter twice in a row).…”

Generalized Cognitive Deficits in Schizophrenia

“…Since the battery was updated periodically to integrate new research findings and to maximize coverage of all cognitive domains, sample size varied among tests. The battery included the Finger Tapping Test (average number of finger taps in 10 seconds), 21 Trail Making Test (time to completion), 22 Continuous Performance Test (number of hits), 23 Benton Visual Retention Test (number of correct responses), 24 Logical Memory Test, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (immediate recall, delayed recall, and percentage saving scores), 25 Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (immediate recall, delayed recall, and recognition), 26 Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Test (copy, immediate recall, delayed recall, and percentage saving scores), 27,28 Wisconsin Card Sorting test (WCST) (number of categories and perseverative errors), 29 Word Fluency Test (number of words generated in 3 minutes in response to the letters C, F, L), 30 and Stroop Test (number correct on card 3 in 45 seconds and the calculated interference score). 31 In addition, the following subscales from the WAIS-R were administered: digit span, digit symbol, vocabulary, information, comprehension, similarities, block design, object assembly, picture arrangement, and picture completion.…”
