Daily activities require the proper coordination between sensory systems, brain integration, and muscular movements. A deviation in any of these systems may slightly or severely disrupt the body’s sensitive homeostatic ...

Audio perception is a key component in every individual’s ability to react to alarms in the case of an emergency. There have been few studies done which utilize human perception and physiological responses aimed to ...

Past research has shown that an individual’s reaction time can be a valid indicator of the central nervous system’s ability to receive and synchronize movement expressed through the peripheral nervous system. This ...

The sympathetic nervous system, a branch of the autonomic nervous system, is activated in response to stressful stimuli. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether audio or visual stimuli work in tandem to ...

This study investigated the effects of different exercise intensity levels on participants’ auditory reaction times. 24 undergraduate students (mean age = 21.6 years; 58% male, 42% female) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison ...

The purpose of this research is to identify any significant difference between two forms of alternative medicine (aromatherapy and music therapy) and the body’s ability to relax unaided, in an attempt to discern if one ...

The comparison between unimodal stimuli (visual stimuli only) and bimodal stimuli (simultaneous audio-visual stimuli) is an under-studied but interesting subject in physiology. This study aims to explore gender differences ...
