The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of visual and auditory stimulation on emotions and autonomic nervous systems. Four kinds of video films, which themes were humor, discomfort, fear or gentleness were presented to 14 subjects. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) was observed as the autonomic nerve responses. The four kinds of video films caused different emotional reactions (the difference in the reaction of the autonomic nervous systems to each video film are shown). It was confirmed that the autonomic nerve responses differed in accordance to how the video film was recognized by the subjects. When television and videos are utilized for nursing care, it is important to offer them to patients, taking into consideration their character and preference. In addition, individual care should be carried out by observing the emotional reactions of patients.

Audiovisual associative memory and audiovisual integration involve common behavioral processing components and significantly overlap in their neural mechanisms. This suggests that training on audiovisual associative memory may have the potential to improve audiovisual integration. The current study tested this hypothesis by applying a 2 (group: audiovisual training group, unimodal control group) * 2 (time: pretest, posttest) design.

Unlabelled: Peripheral hearing loss is associated with the cross-modal re-organization of the auditory cortex, which can occur in both pre- and post-lingual deaf cases.

Background/objectives: Whether to rely on the visual cues in cases with severe hearing loss with adequate amplification is a matter of debate. So, this study aims to study visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in children with severe or profound HL, whether fitted with HAs or CIs.

Surgically remediable epilepsy of the eloquent brain poses the added challenge of preserving function while curing disease. Long-standing epileptogenic lesions have tenacious seizure networks and significant functional reorganizations. Large multilobar lesions may involve multiple functional areas, thereby challenging the limits of functional brain mapping.
