Decoding brain activities of literary metaphor comprehension: An event-related potential and EEG spectral analysis

2022

Novel metaphors in literary texts (hereinafter referred to as literary metaphors) seem to be more creative and open-ended in meaning than metaphors in non-literary texts (non-literary metaphors). However, some disagreement still exists on how literary metaphors differ from non-literary metaphors. Therefore, this study explored the neural mechanisms of literary metaphors extracted from modern Chinese poetry by using the methods of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and Event-Related Spectral Perturbations (ERSPs), as compared with non-literary conventional metaphors and literal expressions outside literary texts. Forty-eight subjects were recruited to make the semantic relatedness judgment afte…

Effects of short intervention for the processing of facial expressions in depression

2010

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää automaattisen tiedonkäsittelyn eroja masentuneiden ja mielialansa hyväksi kokevien välillä mittaamalla aivojen herätevasteita. Lisäksi tutkittiin lyhyen psykologisen intervention vaikutusta näihin vasteisiin. Tutkimukseen osallistui 40 masentunutta ja 23 kontrollikoehenkilöä. Masentuneiden koehenkilöiden aivosähkökäyrä mitattiin ennen interventiota, sen jälkeen sekä seitsemän kuukauden seurannassa. Henkilöt, jotka eivät kokeneet masennusta, mitattiin vain kerran. Masentuneet koehenkilöt jaettiin hyötyneisiin ja hyötymättömiin sen perusteella, miten he arvioivat mielialansa intervention jälkeen. Kokeessa kuvaruudulle esitettiin toistuvasti neutraali ka…

Pre-attentive change detection of emotional facial expressions : effects of depression and a short psychological intervention - and ERP study

2012

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia aivojen esitietoista muutoksenhavaitsemiskykyä mittaamalla tapahtumasidonnaisia herätevastepotentiaaleja (ERP) elektroenkefalografiassa (EEG), käyttäen ärsyk-keenä emotionaalisia kasvonilmeitä. Tutkimuksessa verrattiin kahden ryhmän: masentuneiden sekä ei-masentuneiden - ERP vasteista. Lisäksi tutkimme psykologisen lyhyt intervention vaikutuksia koehen-kilöiden ERP vasteisiin. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin ärsykkeinä seitsemään universaalia kasvonilmettä, viidessä eri koeasetelmassa. Yhdessä koeasetelmassa kaikilla seitsemällä kasvonilmeelle oli yhtä suuri todennäköisyys esiintyä (p=0.14). Neljässä muussa koeasetelmassa käytettiin niin sanottua oddball pa…

Pharmaceuticals in processing of municipal sewage sludge studied by grab and passive sampling

2018

Abstract Concentrations of pharmaceuticals, consisting of four anti-inflammatory and one antiepileptic drug, were studied in the aqueous and solid phase of municipal sewage sludge, collected from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in central Finland. The samples included untreated municipal sludge from the biological wastewater treatment, digested sludge and sludge before and after composting. First, samples were taken as grab samples to study the bioavailable part in aqueous phase but also the part in solid fraction. Later, the long-term concentrations were studied by passive sampling with styrene divinylbenzene-reverse phase sulfonated (SDB-RPS) disks. In the untreated solid sludge, the …

Effectiveness of an exercise training program on youth with Asperger syndrome

2009

Although exercise training programs are effective in improving physical fitness and motor competence in typically developing youth, insufficient data of the impact of interventions are available in youth with Asperger syndrome (AS). The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of an exercise program as part of an ongoing vocational training program for adolescents with AS on motor competence and physical fitness. Twenty adolescents with AS (mean age = 16.8yrs) were enrolled in this study. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent-control-group design with a follow-up measurement over a period of six months was followed. The intervention group received a 12-week physical exercise program f…

Accuracy of SCORTEN and ABCD‐10 to predict mortality and the influence of renal function in Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis

2020

Epidermal necrolysis (EN) compromises a spectrum of life-threatening dermatoses (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome [SJS], overlap syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis [TEN]). Currently, no active therapeutic regimen with unequivocal benefit exists for SJS/TEN. SCORTEN is the widely-used prognostic scale specific for SJS/TEN. Nevertheless, a new prognostic scale, the ABCD-10, has been recently proposed. In this context, acute renal failure (ARF) seems to be an important comorbidity that could influence prognosis in SJS/TEN patients more than it is assumed by these two scales. Our objectives were to compare the accuracy of the SCORTEN and ABCD-10 scales in predicting the mortality in SJS/TEN, and t…
