Voluntary control of cardiovascular reactions to demanding tasksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 149-166 - 1982
Andrew Steptoe, Alvin Ross
Three groups of 10 normotensives participated in a study exploring voluntary control of cardiovascular reactions to cognitive tasks. Pulse transit time (TT), interbeat interval (IBI), skin conductance level, and respiratory variables were monitored throughout one introductory and four experimental sessions. The groups were matched on the basis of initial TT and IBI responses to the taxing arithmet...... hiện toàn bộ
Event-related Potential Study of the Effects of Emotional Facial Expressions on Task Performance in Euthymic Bipolar PatientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 36 - Trang 1-13 - 2010

There appears to be a significant disconnect between symptomatic and functional recovery in bipolar disorder (BD). Some evidence points to interepisode cognitive dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that some of this dysfunction was related to emotional reactivity in euthymic bipolar subjects may effect cognitive processing. A modification of emotional gender categorization oddball task was used....... hiện toàn bộ
Preliminary results from a controlled evaluation of thermal biofeedback as a treatment for essential hypertensionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 471-495 - 1984

In a controlled trial, thermal biofeedback (n=20) and abbreviated progressive relaxation (n=22) were compared in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertensive patients whose blood pressures (BP) were initially controlled on two medications. For the clinical end point of maintaining control of BP on a single drug after treatment, biofeedback was superior to relaxation training (at 3 months, 47% su...... hiện toàn bộ
Concentration and Mindfulness Meditations: Unique Forms of Consciousness?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 147-165 - 1999
Bruce R. Dunn, Judith A. Hartigan, William L. Mikulas
Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from 19 scalp recording sites were used to differentiate among two posited unique forms of mediation, concentration and mindfulness, and a normal relaxation control condition. Analyzes of all traditional frequency bandwidth data (i.e., delta 1–3 Hz; theta, 4–7 Hz; alpha, 8–12 Hz; beta 1, 13–25 Hz; beta 2, 26–32 Hz) showed strong mean amplitude frequency di...... hiện toàn bộ
The treatment of psychophysiologic insomnia with biofeedback: A replication studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 223-235 - 1982
Peter J. Hauri, Linda Percy, Carla Hellekson, Ernest Hartmann, Diane Russ
To replicate a previous study, 16 psychophysiological insomniacs were randomly assigned to either Theta feedback or sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) feedback. Evaluations by home sleep logs and by 3 nights in the laboratory were done before biofeedback, immediately after biofeedback, and 9 months later. Results from this study replicate previous findings. Both Theta and SMR feedback seemed effective trea...... hiện toàn bộ
Health care trends for older peopleSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 337-347 - 1991
T. Franklin Williams
Research is showing us a radically different view of aging from the one seen by earlier generations. Attitudes, which were based on the myth that physical and mental decline are inevitable with age, are beginning to change as a result of new scientific information. What we are learning is that aging involves both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The universal phenomena that occur in all of us as w...... hiện toàn bộ
Behavioral Relaxation Training for tremor disorders in older adultsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 123-135 - 1995
Walter Chung, Roger Poppen, Duane A. Lundervold
Two adult men, aged 86 and 63, with essential tremor and Parkinson's-disease-related tremor, respectively, were provided Behavioral Relaxation Training in reclined and upright seated positions. Multiple measures were recorded, including the Behavioral Relaxation Scale (BRS), clinical and self-rated tremor severity, informant ratings, ratings of disability in activities of daily living (ADL), and f...... hiện toàn bộ
