The effect of questioning gender stereotype threat on girl's standing long jump performance.

Background: Over the past few years, the sport psychology literature has established that gender stereotype threat (ST) is one of the factors that can impair girls' performance. However, few studies have attempted to annihilate these negative effects. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether questioning gender ST can mitigate the classical decline in girls' standing long jump (SLJ) performance.

Investigating the EEG Profile of Elite and Non-Elite Players in the Basketball Free Throw Task.

This study aimed to investigate the electroencephalographic profile of elite and non-elite basketball players seconds before and during the basketball free throw. Sixteen male subjects in the elite group (national team/premier league players with an average age of 22.06 ± 1.

Impact of Pilates suspension with self-awareness on gait and metacognition in multiple sclerosis: Randomized, single-blinded and parallel-group trial.

Background: Exercise and self-awareness are popular in the management of people with MS (pwMS). The combination of these techniques for diminishing mental and cognitive imparements doesn't apply. Since the capacity to monitor one's mind and maintain balance and efficient mobility is fundamental for carrying out the daily affairs of pwMS, in this study we assess the effect of Pilates Suspension with Self-awareness on Gait and Metacognition of pwMS.

A Scalable FPGA Architecture for Randomly Connected Networks of Hodgkin-Huxley Neurons.

Human intelligence relies on the vast number of neurons and their interconnections that form a parallel computing engine. If we tend to design a brain-like machine, we will have no choice but to employ many spiking neurons, each one has a large number of synapses. Such a neuronal network is not only compute-intensive but also memory-intensive.
