A previous paper (Wolpaw and Penry 1975) described separation of the 75-250 msec portion of the AER into N1P2, a product of large areas of cortex, and the T complex, probably a product of secondary auditory cortex. With monaural stimulation, the T complex is larger and earlier on the side contralateral to stimulation and on the right side. Thirty-one normal adults received 3 oz. of ethanol, 300 mg of caffeine, or placebo. Monaural AERs were recorded before intake in all cases, 1 and 4 h after ethanol and 80 min after caffeine or placebo. Blood levels of ethanol and caffeine were measured. Placebo produced mild (20%) decreases in N1P2 amplitude. Caffeine did not decrease N1P2 amplitude. It did produce a statistically significant 2% decrease in Ta peak latency. Ethanol reduced N1P2 amplitude markedly at 1 h and mildly at 4 h. Placebo did not affect hemispheric differences. Caffeine significantly increased the Ta peak ipsilateral vs. contralateral latency difference in 3 of 7 individuals. Ethanol significantly increased it in 3 of 6 subjects at 1 h and in 7 of 10 at 4 h, primarily by increasing ipsilateral latencies.

Effects of Caffeine Intake Combined with Self-Selected Music During Warm-Up on Anaerobic Performance: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Study.

Background: Both listening to music during warm-up and consuming caffeine before exercise have been independently shown to enhance athletic performance. However, the potential synergistic effects of combining these strategies remain largely unexplored. To date, only two studies have reported additional benefits to combining music during warm-up with a caffeine dose of 3 mg/kg on taekwondo-specific performance tasks.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the effect of caffeine ingestion on basketball performance in semi-professional female players.
Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized experimental design was conducted, in two different periods separated by a week. Twelve female basketball players ingested 3 mg of caffeine/kg of body mass or a placebo.

Introduction: Functional beverages are increasingly popular but it is important to validate their purported effects through research. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of a new functional energy shot on cognitive performance and mood states in healthy adults, with a focus on measuring mental energy enhancement and attenuation of negative effects associated with extended performance of mentally demanding tasks.
Methods: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial.
Carbohydrate Restriction During Recovery from High-Intensity-Interval Training Enhances Fat Oxidation During Subsequent Exercise and Does Not Compromise Performance When Combined With Caffeine.

Background: Carbohydrate restriction can alter substrate utilization and potentially impair endurance performance in female athletes. Caffeine intake may mitigate this performance decrements.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that maximal fat oxidation (MFO) rate would be enhanced in the carbohydrate (CHO) restricted state in trained females.

Beckground And Aims: Individuals with a higher body fat percentage may have higher serum levels of caffeine and its metabolites and process caffeine more slowly than individuals with a lower body fat percentage, so the aim of this study is to compare the occurrence of positive and negative effects of caffeine in nonobese and obese women.
Methods And Results: One hundred and sixty women were included in the study. Body fat was determined using the mBCA 515 SECA analyzer.
