Physiological Responses to Isolated Auditory and Visual Stimulus versus the Combination of Auditory and Visual Stimulus
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)
A variety and multitude of stimuli elicit a fear response in humans, including horror
films. Fear responses include various physiological alterations such as an increase in heart rate,
changes in electrodermal activity ...
Physiological Stress Response to Anticipation of Physical Exertion
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)
The physiological feedforward response is an unconscious phenomenon by which the
body attempts to prepare itself prior to the onset of a stressor. In humans, this feedforward
mechanism has been implicated in thermoregulation, ...
The Effect of Personality on Startle Response
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)
The emotion of fear is often accompanied by increased heart rate, sweating, and
trembling. Fear can be the result of startling events experienced in everyday life. Expression of
different personality traits may correlate ...
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, ...
Examining the Physiological Interplay of Memory Formation and Distractive Stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)
Distractive stimuli divert students’ attention and disrupts the memory formation process.
Stress, as measured by physiological changes including rise in blood pressure, heart rate and
skin conductance, also affect the ...
The Effect of Sympathetic Nervous System Stimulation on Skeletal Muscle Reflex Response Time
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2018)
The sympathetic response, also known as fight or flight, is a physiological response that
occurs due to a perceived threat to survival. It can physiologically be observed through an
increase in heart rate, respiratory ...
Effects of Controlled Meditation on Stress Response Elicited by a Timed Mathematics Test
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2019)
In daily life, human beings encounter a number of different stressors that elicit a physiological
response. Previous studies have demonstrated that mindfulness meditation is effective in
reducing the physiological stress ...
The Implications of Musical Stimuli on Human Physiological Value
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2019)
The main purpose of this research was to study the effects of musical stimuli on
physiological outcomes including heart rate, blood pressure, and reaction time. A sample
population of 50 students from the University of ...
Physiological Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Acute Stress Reactivity
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2019)
Sleep deprivation affects a large population of students on college campuses and is
associated with heightened sympathetic nervous system arousal. The aim of this study is to
identify any differences that may exist between ...
The Effect of Hyper-Oxidative Breathing on Physical Endurance
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2019)
Increasing endurance can have important implications for anyone looking to improve
their physical performance. Hyper-oxidative breathing techniques, such as the one utilized in the
Wim Hof Method, have been proven ...
