New Citations | A Physiological Perspective to Stress Management and Mental Health
Musical Intervention as Stress Regulation There is no question that music can be beneficial in regulating mood and psychological states, but what type of musical intervention assists the greatest in stress reduction? Researchers turn to physiological signals to compare the stress reduction effects of two types of musical interventions: music listening and musical improvisation. Stressor […]
Researchers Respond | iSAVE: Rapidly deployable system to expand ventilator capacity
MIT and Harvard researchers developed a new technique to expand ventilator capacity Individualized System for Augmenting Ventilator Efficacy (iSAVE): A Rapidly deployable system to expand ventilator capacity “The iSAVE is a rapidly deployable solution in response to the urgent shortage of mechanical ventilators for respiratory support during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to previously described […]
New Citations | A Look into Exercise Physiology
Paralympics, Firefighting, and Stretch Routines Sports Competition Environments and Increasing Humidity Beijing 2008, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 (now 2021). Summer Olympic and Paralympic host cities are being selected in hot, humid, and demanding locations. Increased humidity can cause thermal stress symptoms, such as dizziness, fatigue, or decreased athletic performance. In this study, researchers monitor the […]

New Citations | Utilizing VR and AcqKnowledge to Reduce Stress
 Impact of Green Space on Stress Reduction Research studies show that the increased exposure of urbanization, traffic noise and pollution has been correlated with increasing levels of stress. However, do greener, more natural environments provide the opposite effect, restoring human well-being and contributing in stress reduction? Researchers compared user experiences in Virtual Reality (VR) scenes […]
New Citations | Using Wireless Technology to Support Psych Research
Solving Physical Stress Issues for Surgeons Physical stress in the operating room is common for surgeons, considering how much time they spend in an upright standing position during surgical procedures. With procedures that require standing for several hours and average reported working times of 60-80 hours a week, surgeons seem to be at risk for musculoskeletal […]
