The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C (SHSS:C), is the most commonly used measure of hypnotizability. In Persian (Farsi), there was a lack of a valid test for hypnotizability. The norms for different language versions of the SHSS:C are important for evaluating the cross-language validity of the measure and determining the ability to compare research findings using the SHSS:C samples of different languages. In this study, a Persian translation of SHSS:C was administered to 321 Farsi-speaking individuals from the cities Tehran and Mashhad. Then, different parameters of the measure, including the distribution, normality, internal consistency, difficulty, and comparison with other SHSS:C norms, have been evaluated and presented. The results indicated that the Persian SHSS:C has good reliability, which is in line with the other language versions of the scale, and the scores from the Persian SHSS:C are comparable to those of the other language versions.

Introduction: The prevalence of epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa varies considerably, and the exact estimate for Ghana remains unclear, particularly in peri-urban areas where data are scarce. More community-based studies are required to understand better the actual burden of epilepsy in these areas and the difficulties in accessing healthcare.
Objective: To adapt and validate a household survey epilepsy-screening instrument in Shai-Osudoku and Ningo-Prampram District of Greater Accra Region, Ghana.

Unlabelled: The integration of auditory and visual stimuli is essential for effective language processing and social perception. The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying audio-visual (A-V) integration by investigating the temporal dynamics of multisensory regions in the human brain. Specifically, we evaluated inter-trial coherence (ITC), a neural index indicative of phase resetting, through scalp electroencephalography (EEG) while participants performed a temporal-order judgment task that involved auditory (beep, A) and visual (flash, V) stimuli.

Focusing on a single source within a complex auditory scene is challenging. M/EEG-based auditory attention detection (AAD) allows to detect which stream an individual is attending to within a set of multiple concurrent streams. The high interindividual variability in the auditory attention detection performance often is attributed to physiological factors and signal-to-noise ratio of neural data.

Introduction: A Modified Occupational Questionnaire (MOQ) is a self-report questionnaire that records the occupational engagement of an individual hourly, focusing on activity category, reason for doing the activity, value to self, and value to society. Understanding the patterns of occupational engagement and meaningful time use in older persons is crucial for predicting physical and psychological health and establishing occupation-based interventions to support healthy aging. However, the MOQ, originally developed in an English-speaking country and may potentially be less suitable for Malaysian older persons, who are predominantly Malay-speaking and have distinct cultural adaptations.
