The present study utilized high-resolution eye-tracking to evaluate 40 children aged 7-17 years on a comprehensive battery of OVRT-C tests to better understand how and when these abilities develop across childhood. As expected, mean responses on OVRT-C tests showed consistent improvement as subject age increased. We report a high prevalence of saccadic intrusions during smooth pursuit in children and adolescents, more self-paced saccades in older children, decreased auditory and visual RT with age, and fewer errors on the anti-saccade test in older children. We also used the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) modelling to determine whether a two- or three age group division would be most appropriate for each OVRT-C test. For all key OVRT-C metrics, our data support a separation of children into two age groups as opposed to three. While the age group divide varied by OVRT-C test, these data suggest these abilities mature at differing rates, and optimal separations into two age groups rather than three may reflect a slowing of rapid development as OVRT-C performance becomes more adult-like.</p>","PeriodicalId":12268,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Brain Research","volume":"243 5","pages":"110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While SVC-based models primarily predict motion sickness incidence (MSI), which is defined as the percentage of people who would vomit under a given motion, models predicting milder individual symptoms, which are crucial for daily applications, are still required. Recently, computational models predicting vestibular motion-sickness progression using the SVC theory have been developed by changing the output of a 6DOF-SVC model from MSI to the Misery Scale (MISC), a subjective measure of symptom progression. In practical applications, the ability to predict MISC for unseen motions is crucial. The present study conceived a method for predicting MISC beyond a certain point in the future by identifying parameters from data collected up to that point. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of the number of data points used for parameter identification on the future prediction accuracy. Observed MISC responses from participants exposed to linear lateral motion in darkness were used for model validation. The results indicated that prediction accuracy increased as more data points were included. On average, using more than 5-10 min of data significantly increased the accuracy compared to a model using averaged parameter sets across participants, although the tendency significantly differed based on an individual's MISC history. A trial considering individual MISC histories, in which data points were defined when the observed MISC first reached certain levels, showed a general trend of improved accuracy when data up to MISC Level 3 was used. The findings of this study demonstrate that motion sickness symptom progression can be predicted with reduced error by incorporating individual symptom histories, thereby providing a foundation for the development of personalized motion sickness prediction models applicable to broader applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":12268,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Brain Research","volume":"243 5","pages":"108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11972198/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143788255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite being heralded amongst the 'kinematic laws of nature' (Flash 2021, p. 4), there is no consensus on its origin, common reporting practice, or vetted analytical protocol. Many legacy elements of analytical protocols in the literature are suboptimal, such as noise amplification from repeated differentiation, biases arising from filtering, log transformation distortion, and injudicious linear regression, all of which undermine power law calculations. Recent findings of power law divergences in clinical populations have highlighted the need for improved protocols. This article reviews prior power law calculation protocols, identifies suboptimal practices, before proposing candidate solutions grounded in the kinematics literature. We evaluate these candidates via two simple criteria: firstly, they must avoid spurious confirmation of the law, secondly, they must confirm the law when it is present. Ultimately, we synthesise candidate solutions into a vetted, modular protocol which we make freely available to the scientific community. The protocol's modularity accommodates future analytical advances and permits re-use in broader kinematic science applications. We propose that adoption of this protocol will eliminate artificial confirmation of the law and facilitate more sensitive quantification of recently noted power law divergences, which are associated with neurochemical disturbances arising from dopaminergic drugs, and in conditions such as Parkinson's and autism.</p>","PeriodicalId":12268,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Brain Research","volume":"243 5","pages":"107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11968483/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143771873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, the present study employed event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate these dynamics. Using a classic stimulus-response paradigm, behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) data were collected from 27 participants under different task conditions. The results revealed that the neural mechanisms of symmetrical face processing exhibit not only distinct temporal dynamics but also partial automation. Specifically, symmetrical faces elicited larger N170 and later Sustained Posterior Negativity (SPN) amplitudes compared to asymmetrical faces in explicit symmetry tasks. The N170 component likely reflects an early stage of visual-perceptual processing, oriented toward aesthetic appraisal and face recognition, whereas the SPN reflects a mid-to-late stage of sustained integration involved in symmetry processing. These findings suggest that facial symmetry processing is a dynamic, strategy-driven process, with different priorities emerging at distinct stages of neural activity.Additionally, in the implicit task, symmetrical faces elicited larger P300 amplitudes compared to asymmetrical faces, suggesting a degree of automaticity in the processing of facial symmetry. N170 and P300 components were also observed when processing emoji stimuli in the explicit symmetry task, indicating that face-like materials engage similar neural mechanisms under certain conditions. Taken together, this study not only provides direct evidence of the neural mechanisms underlying facial symmetry processing in explicit tasks but also underscores the complexity and specificity of this process, as revealed through implicit tasks and the use of face-like stimuli such as emojis. These findings offer valuable insights into the temporal dynamics of the neural mechanisms involved in facial symmetry processing, advancing our understanding of its nuanced and multifaceted nature.</p>","PeriodicalId":12268,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Brain Research","volume":"243 5","pages":"106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143763316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These impairments contribute to reduced functional independence and a diminished quality of life in individuals with PD. This study investigated the impact of PD on bimanual coordination, focusing on temporal accuracy, force production, and neuromuscular synchronization. The goal was to compare these parameters across individuals with PD, healthy older adults (HOA), and healthy young adults (HYA) during a stable force coordination task. Thirteen individuals with PD (median age [min-max] = 73 [60-83] years; 6 males), 13 HOAs median age [min-max] = 74 [60-84] years; 7 males), and 15 HYAs (median age [min-max] = 21 [18-23] years; 7 males) performed a 1:1 in-phase (0°) bimanual coordination task, requiring participants to rhythmically produce isometric forces with their left and right index fingers. Muscle activity from the First Dorsal Interosseus (FDI) muscles were recorded using electromyography (EMG). Each participant completed 21, 30-second trials. Temporal accuracy and stability were assessed using frequency ratio, absolute error (AE), and variability (VE) of relative phase. Force production was evaluated in terms of force harmonicity, force asymmetry, and peak force. Neuromuscular synchronization was analyzed using force-force and EMG-EMG coherence across different frequency bands. All groups achieved the target frequency ratio of 1.0, with no significant differences in AE or VE, suggesting comparable temporal accuracy and stability across groups. However, the PD group demonstrated significantly lower harmonicity, indicating less smooth force production, and greater force asymmetry compared to HOA and HYA groups. Reduced force-force coherence, especially in the 1-4 Hz and 4-8 Hz frequency bands, further highlighted challenges in bilateral force synchronization for the PD group. EMG-EMG coherence analysis revealed that the HYA group exhibited higher muscle activation synchronization, particularly in the alpha band, compared to the PD group. These findings suggest that while basic temporal coordination remains intact in PD, the disease impairs the smoothness and symmetry of force production, likely due to disrupted neural synchronization. The observed correlations between higher force coherence, greater harmonicity, and lower force asymmetry underscore the critical role of neural drive coherence in achieving smooth and symmetrical force production. However, it is important to consider the impact of medication state, since all participants were tested around their \"ON\" medication state.

Results showed that ML, AE and ML + AE conditions increased MCAv; however, only the latter two conditions produced a pre- to post-intervention reduction in antisaccade RTs and the benefit was not linked to a MCAv change. Moreover, frequentist and Bayesian statistics indicated that the reduction in antisaccade RTs was equivalent across AE and ML + AE conditions. Accordingly, a single bout of exercise - and not a single bout of music listening - supports a non-additive post-intervention EF benefit that is not related to an exercise-based increase in CBF.
