In a series of randomized control trials (RCTs) the following hypothesis will be tested: Intranasal administration of oxytocin and vasopressin affect neural and behavioral responses to infant signals and threat to the infant.* Oxytocin and…
To test whether a short FD protocol can be used to test whether effects of light on alertness, sleep, metabolism and temperature are under circadian control.
Investigate the effects of levocetirizine, diphenhydramine and placebo on cognitive and psychomotor functioning during controlled simulated diving in a recompression chamber in professional navy divers at 10 mt (2 bar) and 30 mt (4 bar).
To elucidate in the same participants (late chronotypes with at least two hours of social jetlag) the changes in sleep timing, social jetlag and endogenous circadian phase of melatonin with more than two hours of social jetlag shielded from blue…
Primary objectives: this study will 1) assess the accuracy of the Cortex MetaLyzer® 3B in adolescents (12-17 yr) for measuring REE, using the Deltatrac® II metabolic monitor as a reference; and 2) assess the accuracy and the within-subject, within-…
The goal of the current investigation is to test a new model that accounts better for results of pharmacological research. This model states that the cholinergic system underlies disengagement, and that the noradrenergic system underlies bias. Two…
To study the influence of systemic blood flow and mean arterial pressure on cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects on time trial / cycle test performance after ingestion of Snelle Jelle 'kruidkoek' and water, banana and water, or only water.

In this study, the relationship between deficits within emotional memory and different typologies of psychopathy (impulsive vs. instrumental) will be examined. Furthermore, the current research concerns the influence (either positive or negative) of…
The objective of the current study is to evaluate and compare the glucose responses after consumption of each of the 2 whole grain foods (2 types of 'ontbijtkoek') and white bread. Furthermore, related effects (of the glucose responses) on…
We aim to test how attention exerts its facilitative effects on perception. We expect a validation of the *pulsed inhibition* theory, i.e., that - for an unattended location - perceptual probability is normal during the excitatory phase but…
Primary:To compare the number of critical errors made by COPD patients, after a subject has read the respective patient information leaflet(s) (PIL), for each treatment option tested.Secondary:Number of critical errors made after instruction from…
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether, oral, or gastric feedback is most important for meal termination (satiation). As a secondary objective we aim to understand how cognitive factors modulate the oral and gastric signals and…
