With the proposed study we aim to gain insight into the effects of oxytocin (OT) on both parents* and grandparents* sensitive, empathic, and protective responses to their (grand)children, and in the neural origins of these responses.The primary…
The primary objective of this study is to explore user acceptance of the ironHand (iH) system by elderly. Secondary objectives are to examine the direct effect on functional task performance, changes in hand strength and movement execution of such a…
Primary Objective: To measure cortical spreading depression with full-band EEG during the migraine attack at patients aged 4 years or older. Secondary Objective(s): -To explore (additional) signal analysis techniques for detecting CSDs or infra slow…
The main objective of the study is to investigate (1) whether acute exercise influences brain responses to a working memory task, (2) the effect of acute exercise on CBF responses to acute aerobic exercise and (3) whether fitness level is related to…
