While the link between beat perception and reading skills is attributed to a general improvement in neural entrainment to speech units, duration perception (DP) is primarily linked to a specific aspect of speech perception, specifially discriminating...
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, here we monitored the brain activity in 12 early blind subjects and 12 blindfolded control subjects, matched for age, gender and musical experience, during a beat detection task. Subjects were required to...
Background. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurological condition that can severely impair gait, often through changes to gait parameters including stride length, velocity, and variability. Therapeutic interventions such as Rhythmic Auditory Sti...
Auditory beats are amplitude-modulated signals (monaural beats) or signals that subjectively cause the perception of an amplitude modulation (binaural beats). We investigated the effects of monaural and binaural 5 Hz beat stimulation on neural activi...
Background/Objectives: The mechanisms underlying the positive association between reading and rhythmic skills remain unclear. Our goal was to systematically test between two major explanations: the Temporal Sampling Framework (TSF), which highlights...
Obstetric violence has been recognized as a major impediment to facility-based delivery, increasing the risk of preventable complications and maternal mortality. In Ghana, studies on women’s birth experiences reveal enormous and brutal acts of...
Human Resource Management (HRM) processes are considered the beating heart of any successful organization. Recently, several studies have highlighted how organizations can use commitment-oriented HR practices to generate organizational and individual...
The purpose was to observe the effects of a four-week lockdown on the resting heart rate (RHR) and well-being perception of elite swimmers. Twenty elite swimmers performed RHR measurements upon waking in supine and standing positions. Baseline values...
The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of audible and inaudible binaural beat stimuli on alpha power elicitation and compare the differences in triggering effects depending on sound perception. Experiments were conducted on healthy male...
This methodological study assesses the potential for automatically generated data, netnographic data and market data on metal-detecting to advance cultural property criminology. The method comprises the analysis of open sources that have been identif...
Chronic pain changes brain connectivity, brainwaves, and volume, often resulting in disability, anxiety, and depression. Opioid pain relievers impair function, with risk of addiction. Music analgesia research suggests that music for long-term analges...
Cardiomyocytes are the largest cell type that make up the heart and confer beating activity to the heart. The proper differentiation of cardiomyocytes relies on the efficient transmission and perception of differentiation cues from several signaling...
Equitation in the French tradition is a school of riding that emphasizes harmonious relations between humans and horses. The best-known community is the Cadre Noir of Saumur, whose specialty is the air above the ground (AAG). No study has yet looked...
This study aimed to investigate the distracting or masking effects of music tempo and volume, based on subjective evaluation under noise conditions. Two experiments were conducted with 32 participants. In the first one, the experimental conditions we...
Numerous studies have aimed to improve mathematical achievement via musical interventions because it is argued that music and mathematics draw on related representations and similar skills. However, findings on their effectiveness are inconclusive. T...
Virtual reality (VR) can challenge the visual system, leading to temporary oculomotor changes, though the degree of change varies among individuals. While the vergence and accommodation system plays a crucial role in VR perception, it remains unclear...
Autonomous driving technologies for environmental perception are mostly based on visual cues obtained from sensors like cameras, RADAR, or LiDAR. They capture the environment as if seen through “human eyes”. If this visual information is...
Motion perception is crucial in competitive sports like dance, basketball, and diving. However, evaluations in these sports heavily rely on professionals, posing two main challenges: subjective assessments are uncertain and can be influenced by exper...
The jamming recognition of target detection aims to achieve rapid judgment and effective response to jamming by analyzing the target echo signals. This paper addresses the shortcomings of the existing methods in terms of jamming recognition capabilit...
Background: Physical activity requiring self-control may yield greater post-activity cognitive improvements. Implementing such tasks within The Daily Mile could enhance cognition further while adding variety to the initiative. This study examined whe...
Camera and LiDAR sensors in safety-critical autonomous systems suffer undetected distributional shifts that silently corrupt downstream perception. Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is the established sensor-data-integrity primitive, but no single...
Background/Objectives: We investigated whether being exposed to preferred music (110–130 beats·min−1) or music accelerated by 15%, played during morning exercise, influenced muscle strength and executive function assessed before an...
Developmental dyslexia is typically defined as a difficulty with an individual’s command of written language, arising from deficits in phonological awareness. However, motor entrainment difficulties in non-linguistic synchronization and time-keeping...
Background/Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of binaural beats (BB) on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), kinesiophobia of reinjury and fitness biomarkers in professional athletes with chronic musculoskeletal injuries. Method...
Underground coal-mine equipment operates under broadband noise, high dust, humidity, and methane. Acoustic sensing is uniquely suited to this environment: it captures vibration, friction, and airflow signatures without physical contact, incurs low se...
Contact-rich precision assembly fails in ways visible in the force/torque and proprioceptive streams before they are visible in the finished part, which makes online quality monitoring attractive. We ask whether monitoring accuracy or the recovery po...

Background: To fight against the phenomenon of maltreatment,which has become a matter of public health nowadays, it is necessary to understand how it happens and to identify its nature, evolution, causes and consequences. However, in Togo until now n...
