Outcomes of a Virtual Day Treatment Program for Adults With Eating Disorders-Comparison With In-Person Day Treatment.

Objective: Previous studies have indicated that virtual treatments for eating disorders (EDs) are roughly as effective as are in-person treatments; the present nonrandomized study aimed to expand on the current body of evidence by comparing outcomes from a virtual day treatment program with those of an in-person program in an adult ED sample.

Method: Participants were 109 patients who completed at least 60% of day treatment sessions (n = 55 in-person and n = 54 virtual). Outcome measures included ED and comorbid symptoms, and motivation.

Changes in primary visual and auditory cortex of blind and sighted adults following 10 weeks of click-based echolocation training.

Recent work suggests that the adult human brain is very adaptable when it comes to sensory processing. In this context, it has also been suggested that structural "blueprints" may fundamentally constrain neuroplastic change, e.g.

Effects of type of emission and masking sound, and their spatial correspondence, on blind and sighted people's ability to echolocate.

Ambient sound can mask acoustic signals. The current study addressed how echolocation in people is affected by masking sound, and the role played by type of sound and spatial (i.e.

Development of a transdiagnostic digital interactive application for eating disorders: psychometric properties, satisfaction, and perceptions on implementation in clinical practice.

Background: Given limited availability of informed treatments for people affected by eating disorders (EDs), there has been increasing interest in developing self-administered, technology-based ED interventions. However, many available interventions are limited to a specific ED diagnosis or assume that participants are ready to change. We developed a digital self-help application (called ASTrA) that was explicitly designed to be transdiagnostic and to help increase motivation for change.

6-hour Training in click-based echolocation changes practice in visual impairment professionals.

Click-based echolocation can support mobility and orientation in people with vision impairments (VI) when used alongside other mobility methods. Only a small number of people with VI use click-based echolocation. Previous research about echolocation addresses the skill of echolocation to understand how echolocation works, and its brain basis.
