The goal of this study is to explore how preferences for appropriate interpersonal distance varies across different forensic populations.
Therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wearing a cooling vest during exercise on performance levels and thermoreguation.
The primary objective is to investigate if a salt-reduced diet leads to an increased reward response when exposed to lower salt concentrations in food.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of extreme fixed wrist flexion and ulnar deviation due to spasticity on bone shapes of the wrist bones. We want to compare CT scan-based three-dimensional reconstructions of the spastic wrist to the…
The primary objective of this first study is to explore the short-range stability of cortico-cortical networks in healthy volunteers by measuring resting state EEG.
Previous investigations in our lab have provided insight in the requirements for development of such a system and shown the feasibility of the paradigm (Blokland et al., 2011). We have been able to optimize the settings of our proposed system to…
Primary objective: To create diagnostic and treatment tools for navigation ability in stroke patients, that can be used in clinical practice.Secondary objective: To increase knowledge about the cognitive structure and neuroanatomical correlates of…
In this study the effects of bodily in combination with facial expressions and group size on action preparation in the primary motor cortex using TMS will be examined.
In this study we want to investigate if the muscle-relaxation time (muscle-RT), calculated from force profiles obtained with two different experimental methods (1) voluntary handgrip- and (2) peripheral nerve stimulation myometry, is a reliable and…
Results of this experiment could e important for patients suffering from muscle weakness. If muscle fatigue results in a generalized feeling of fatigue patients should be informed of this observation. If fatigue is localized to the activated muscles…
The closer examination of acute effects of a single administration cortisol. compared to placebo, on different aspects of attention and other cognitive processing of emotionally relevant stimuli in healthy young men. The central question is what…
To determine whether surgery induces changes in the liver vasculature of patients with colorectal cancer.
The aim of the study is to compare the treatment with four or six implants in combination with an overdenture for patients with lack of retention and stability of their complete upper denture.The clinical function of the implants and overdenture,…
We aim to test whether spontaneous and transcranially evoked alpha oscillations show a similar dependency on the attentional state of the visual cortex and are thus likely to share the same neuronal mechanisms.
1. To quantify the CGRP response after application of red chili pepper extract2. To find the optimal concentration of red chilli homogenate containing capsaicin for this response3. To assess day-to-day variability.
The study described in this protocol is aimed to gain more insight in the learning processes that determine our food preferences. The primary objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of three different olfactory conditioning methods in…
The primary objective of this study is to validate the use of a zero-heat flow temperature sensor for the measurement of core body temperature in the NICU by comparing it with 2 other modalities for core temperature measurement.
To investigate whether the intake of a single dose of nitrate-rich beetroot juice or a flavonoid-rich black tea causes an increase of post-prandial muscle blood flow in obese insulin resistant subjects
This quantitative research project was preceded by a qualitative study (Sexuality in people with a limb amputation and their partner: a qualitative study; METc 2010/179). The aims of the current study are to explore:- which sexual problems occur in…
The primary objective of the study is to validate the use of a reference tissue model and an image derived input function for the quantification of estrogen receptors in the human brain, by [18F]FES PET. The secondary objective is to determine…
