Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Effects of Using E-Cigarettes and Vaporizers
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2019)Currently, the use of electronic cigarettes and vaporizers is increasing. Research into the effects of these relatively new smoking devices will add to the body of knowledge concerning the impact that e-cigarettes may ... -
Concealed Information and its Effect on Heart Rate, Respiration Rate, and Electrodermal Activity
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2016)Testing the efficacy of polygraphs can be especially difficult because it is hard to make someone lie in the same way one would during a criminal polygraph. We designed a simplified way of creating guilt and detecting ... -
The Effect of Darkness on Visual Reaction Time and its Physiological Basis
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)Car accidents are a leading cause of death that primarily occur at night. There are many characteristics of night time driving that have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. Our group set out to determine if reaction ... -
The Effects of a Brief Meditative Breathing Session on Recovery from Moderate Aerobic Exercise
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2016)Meditative practices have been shown to have many beneficial effects such as performance boosts, relaxation, and reductions in anxiety. Studies among athletes have shown a correlation between enhanced physical ability and ... -
The Effects of Acute Aerobic Activity at Rating Five and Seven of Perceived Exertion on the Performance of a Word-Recollection, Short-Term Memory Task
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2016)Aerobic exercise has many benefits in improving human health. By increasing oxygenated blood flow and glutamate release into the brain, aerobic exercise has been related to improved long-term memory. Additionally, aerobic ... -
Effects of Physiological Stress Response on Short-Term Memory Recall
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2017)A variety of studies have explored the effects of stress on short-term memory formation and recollection. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of physiological stress response on short term memory. Stress ... -

Media Delivery Method Shows No Effect On Physiological Stress Response Factors of Heart Rate, Blood Pressure and Respiration
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2016)Blood pressure, heart rate and respiration rate were measured to investigate the stress response induced by an emotionally stimulating video regarding the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). After control experiments ... -
Physiological Anxiety Responses with Cell Phone Separation and Subsequent Contact
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)Past research has shown that people separated from their cell phones exhibit physiological responses related to anxiety. These responses include an increase in the release of stress hormones leading to an increase in heart ... -
Physiological Effects of Lavender Essential Oil After Moderately Intense Physical Activity
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)For this study, the effects of lavender essential oil on the rate of relaxation after physical stress were investigated. While previous studies have been performed relating lavender aroma to decreased psychological stress, ... -
