Introduction: An experimental study conducted between October 2020 and July 2021 is presented. The study involved two groups: an experimental group consisting of 89 people and a control group consisting of 87 people, all operating within various organizations. The aim of the study was to measure the effects of coaching through: 1) the comparison between the test/re-test variation of resilience and locomotion and assessment regulatory modes, between the experimental and control groups; 2) the comparison between the test/re-test variation within the experimental group alone.

Perception of the visual vertical is strongly based on our ability to match visual inflow with vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, and even visceral information that contributes to maintaining an internal representation of the vertical. An important cortical region implicated in multisensory integration is the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ), which also is involved in higher order forms of body- and space-related cognition. To test whether this region integrates body-related multisensory information necessary for establishing the subjective visual vertical, we combined a psychophysical task (the rod-and-frame test) with transient inhibition of the rTPJ via continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS).

Studies indicate that explicit and implicit processing of affectively charged stimuli may be reflected in specific behavioral markers and physiological signatures. This study investigated whether the pleasantness ratings of a neutral target were affected by subliminal perception of pleasant and painful facial expressions. Participants were presented images depicting face of non-famous models being slapped (painful condition), caressed (pleasant condition) or touched (neutral condition) by the right hand of another individual.
