A pattern of cognitive resource disruptions in childhood psychopathology.

The Hurst exponent () isolated in fractal analyses of neuroimaging time series is implicated broadly in cognition. Within this literature, is associated with multiple mental disorders, suggesting that is transdimensionally associated with psychopathology. Here, we unify these results and demonstrate a pattern of decreased with increased general psychopathology and attention-deficit/hyperactivity factor scores during a working memory task in 1,839 children.

Integrating the BIDS Neuroimaging Data Format and Workflow Optimization for Large-Scale Medical Image Analysis.

A robust medical image computing infrastructure must host massive multimodal archives, perform extensive analysis pipelines, and execute scalable job management. An emerging data format standard, the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), introduces complexities for interfacing with XNAT archives. Moreover, workflow integration is combinatorically problematic when matching large amount of processing to large datasets.

Positive Effects of Nature on Cognitive Performance Across Multiple Experiments: Test Order but Not Affect Modulates the Cognitive Effects.

Interactions with natural environments and nature-related stimuli have been found to be beneficial to cognitive performance, in particular on executive cognitive tasks with high demands on directed attention processes. However, results vary across different studies. The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the effects of nature vs.

White matter microstructure correlates of general and specific second-order factors of psychopathology.

Increasing data indicate that prevalent forms of psychopathology can be organized into second-order dimensions based on their correlations, including a general factor of psychopathology that explains the common variance among all disorders and specific second-order externalizing and internalizing factors. Nevertheless, most existing studies on the neural correlates of psychopathology employ case-control designs that treat diagnoses as independent categories, ignoring the highly correlated nature of psychopathology. Thus, for instance, although perturbations in white matter microstructure have been identified across a range of mental disorders, nearly all such studies used case-control designs, leaving it unclear whether observed relations reflect disorder-specific characteristics or transdiagnostic associations.

Image Feature Types and Their Predictions of Aesthetic Preference and Naturalness.

Previous research has investigated ways to quantify visual information of a scene in terms of a visual processing hierarchy, i.e., making sense of visual environment by segmentation and integration of elementary sensory input.
