An Investigation of Event-Related Brain Potentials Evoked by Feedback During Prism Adaptation
(2015)Prism adaptation (PA) demonstrates how the brain can adapt to a shifted visual field and also serves as a promising rehabilitation approach for treating visuo-spatial neglect (VSN) – a condition marked by deficits in ... -
METAPHYSICS & MORALS IN CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN NEUROSCIENCE AND RETRIBUTIVE FOLK PSYCHOLOGY
(2020-09-10)The retributive justification of Canadian criminal law contains several assumptions about human nature that conflicts with what neuroscience has established regarding human behavior and the function of rationality. ... -
Neural Population Dynamics in Porcine Stellate Ganglion in Normal and Heart Failure States
(2022-10-21)Neural populations in the sympathetic nervous system are involved in hierarchical closed loop control of the heart involving multiple intrathoracic ganglia. This thesis expands on their processing capabilities with a focus ... -
A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR DIGITAL MICROSCOPY OF CELLS IN CULTURE
(2023-08-31)Common implementations of standard microscopy suffer from several disadvantages. The apparatus required is often inconveniently large and expensive, requires trained operators, provides only a limited field of view (FOV) ... -
The Parallel Encoding of Actions Within a Sequential Grasping Task: Strategic, Motor, or Perceptual Interference Effects
(2022-11-18)Every day we are constantly performing consecutive grasping actions to complete our desired goals. Although we have a good scientific understanding about how the brain programs one grasping action towards a single object, ... -
Using an Optical Sensor of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis to Investigate the Relationship Between Release Probability and Paired-Pulse Plasticity at Individual Hippocampal Synapses
(2016-04-29)Release probability (Pr) is a determinant of synaptic strength that varies considerably between synapses, and correlates with the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles. Short-term plasticity is ...
