Published: December 2002

Recent criticism of biofeedback has increased the importance of rating the efficacy of each biofeedback and neurofeedback therapy. A joint task force of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) and the Society for Neuronal Regulation (SNR) has developed standards for efficacy research methodology and template for rating the level of efficacy of each application. The Task Force Report has been approved as a policy guideline by both the AAPB and SNR Boards.

Purposeful movement often requires selection of a particular action from a range of alternatives, but how does the brain represent potential actions so that they can be compared for selection, and how are motor commands generated if movement is initiated before the final goal is identified? According to one hypothesis, the brain averages partially prepared motor plans to generate movement when there is goal uncertainty. This is consistent with the idea that motor decision-making unfolds through competition between internal representations of alternative actions. An alternative hypothesis holds that only one movement, which is optimized for task performance, is prepared for execution at any time.

Introduction: The bilateral deficit (BLD) is a reduction in the amount of force during a bilateral task vs. the total force from the unilateral limbs performing the same task. We quantified the BLD during an upper body Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) and evaluated the influence of sex and load on the BLD in force.

Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected through chest computed tomography (CT) strongly predicts cardiovascular events in asymptomatic individuals undergoing primary prevention. Few studies with limited sample sizes have investigated the predictive value of CAC for cardiovascular complications in COVID-19. This study examined the impact of CAC on cardiovascular complications using a large-scale COVID-19 database.
