Predicting subjective ratings of affect and comprehensibility with text features: a reader response study of narrative poetry.

Literary reading is an interactive process between a reader and a text that depends on a balance between cognitive effort and emotional rewards. By studying both the crucial features of the text and of the subjective reader reception, a better understanding of this interactive process can be reached. In the present study, subjects (=31) read and rated a work of narrative fiction that was written in a poetic style, thereby offering the readers two pathways to cognitive rewards: Aesthetic appreciation and narrative immersion.

Noninvasive brain stimulation in autism: review and outlook for personalized interventions in adult patients.

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been increasingly investigated during the last decade as a treatment option for persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, previous studies did not reach a consensus on a superior treatment protocol or stimulation target. Persons with ASD often suffer from social isolation and high rates of unemployment, arising from difficulties in social interaction.

Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial evaluating home treatment with peer support for acute mental health crises (HoPe).

Background: Home treatment (HT) is a treatment modality for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) in acute mental crises. It is frequently considered equivalent to psychiatric inpatient treatment in terms of treatment outcome. Peer Support (PS) means that people with lived experience of a mental illness are trained to support others on their way towards recovery.

Improved Standard-Model Prediction for π^{0}→e^{+}e^{-}.

We present an improved standard-model (SM) prediction for the dilepton decay of the neutral pion. The loop amplitude is determined by the pion transition form factor for π^{0}→γ^{*}γ^{*}, for which we employ a dispersive representation that incorporates both spacelike and timelike data as well as short-distance constraints. The resulting SM branching fraction, Br[π^{0}→e^{+}e^{-}]=6.
