Mitigating Computer Limitations in Replicating Numerical Simulations of a Neural Network Model With Hodgkin-Huxley-Type Neurons

Computational experiments have been very important to numerically simulate real phenomena in several areas. Many studies in computational biology discuss the necessity to obtain numerical replicability to accomplish new investigations. However, even following well-established rules in the literature, numerical replicability is unsuccessful when it takes the computer’s limitations for representing real numbers into consideration. In […]

Effects of Sport Stacking on Neuropsychological, Neurobiological, and Brain Function Performances in Patients With Mild Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of sport stacking on the overall cognition and brain function in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).MethodsA single-blind randomized controlled design was performed using sport stacking for 30 min, 5 days/week for 12 weeks. Forty-eight subjects with mild AD or MCI were randomly divided into the […]

Exposing liars by distraction

It is well documented that lying during interviews takes up more cognitive energy than telling the truth.  A new study found that investigators who used this finding to their advantage by asking a suspect to carry out an additional, secondary, task while being questioned were more likely to expose lie tellers. The extra brain power needed […]
