Brain oscillations, or neural rhythms, reflect widespread functional connections between large-scale neural networks, as well as within cortical networks. As such they have been related to many aspects of human behaviour. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the role of brain oscillations at distinct frequency bands in cognitive, sensory, and motor tasks. Consequentially, those rhythms also affect diverse aspects of human communication.

Background and Aims:Family-based therapy for eating disorders is one of the most effective forms of treatment for adolescents. Expressed emotion has also been shown to modulate treatment outcome for these patients. However, little is still known about how family characteristics such as parental expressed emotion may impact family health and functioning on adolescent prognosis. Therefore, our aim was to investigate whether parents whose daughters present...

Laypeople think of wake, sleep, and dreaming as distinct states of the mind/brain but “in-between”, hybrid states are recognized. For example, daydreaming or, more scientifically, the default network occurs during wake. Equally, during sleep, lucid dreaming in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep presents as another hybrid state. But hybrid states are usually temporary. This book explores the possibility of an enduring hybrid wake-sleep-dream state,...

According to the literature, roughly 50% of frontotemporal dementia (DFT)cases are previously (and incorrectly) diagnosed as a psychiatric condition. DFT is the second most common cause of dementia with onset prior to 65 years in age, usually beginning during the fifth decade of life. The most prevalent subtype of DFT is the behavioral variant, accounting for approximately half of all cases. This is a brief abstract of a case study that demonstrates...

In this ebook, a collection of 18 papers presents empirical research, as well as novel theoretical considerations, on how multiple identities are being managed by the individuals holding them. The papers draw on theories from social psychology in the context of the social identity approach. The first chapter presents eight papers on different types of multiple identity configurations in a variety of contexts, and the costs and benefits of these configurations...

This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises...
