Every athlete seeks the winning formula that will make them more competitive. Add coaches, trainers, weekend warriors, and everyday health enthusiasts to the mix, all looking for an edge to improve fitness, shorten recovery times, and avoid injuries. Exercise...
Body Electric: Bioimpedance in Physiology Research
With nearly 70 percent of our bodies made up of water as well as a variety of dissolved salts, humans are natural conductors of electrical current. However, various elements of the human body restrict or impede the flow of electrical current, a phenomenon termed...
Effort Rewarded: Tools for Measuring Motivation
A job well done may be its own reward, but the mechanisms that drive humans to produce better results are far more complex. Much research has been devoted to the study of motivation and the psychophysiological processes that drive our behavior in pursuit of a goal,...
Eye-Catching: Mobile Tech Enhances Immersive Experiments
Freed from the limitations of stationary eye tracking technology, mobile eye tracking enables researchers to study their subjects while they perform a wide range of immersive tasks in natural settings.
Mind and Body: Signals to Enhance Your Psychophysiology Research
The human body and mind share an intrinsic link, both influencing and reflecting the health and general well-being of the other. Within the field of psychophysiology, researchers gain a wealth of insight into mental processes and disorders by studying physiological...
The Year in Review: Top Physiology and Neuroscience Research Stories 2022
Another calendar year has come and gone. COVID-19 remains a reality, but we continue to adapt to the ongoing pandemic and find new ways to overcome the challenges it poses at work, at school, at home, and in the lab. And speaking of research, 2022 proved to be a...
Human Factors: Physiological Signals Enhance Ergonomics Research
Ergonomics plays a role in almost every aspect of human interaction with the world around us—how we work, entertain ourselves, rest, and relax. Simply put, ergonomics (sometimes termed “human factors and ergonomics” or simply “human factors”) refers to the way in...
Evoked Potentials: Low-amplitude Signals for High-value Data
Researchers studying the nervous system have a host of physiological signals at their disposal to provide critical data on neurological function. Various signals present advantages and disadvantages, depending on the demands of the research being conducted. Evoked...
