Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder with a long latent phase and currently no disease-modifying treatments. Reliable predictive biomarkers that could transform efforts to develop neuroprotective treatments remain to be identified. Using UK Biobank, we investigated the predictive value of accelerometry in identifying prodromal Parkinson’s disease in the general population and compared this… Continue reading Wearable movement-tracking data identify Parkinson’s disease years before clinical diagnosis

Country roads, take me home… to my friends: How #intelligence, population density, and friendship affect modern #happiness
We propose the savanna theory of happiness, which suggests that it is not only the current consequences of a given situation but also its ancestral consequences that affect individuals’ life satisfaction and explains why such influences of ancestral consequences might interact with intelligence. We choose two varied factors that characterize basic differences between ancestral and… Continue reading Country roads, take me home… to my friends: How #intelligence, population density, and friendship affect modern #happiness
The Importance of Cursive #Handwriting Over Typewriting for Learning in the Classroom: A High-Density #EEG Study of 12-Year-Old Children and Young Adults
To write by hand, to type, or to draw – which of these strategies is the most efficient for optimal learning in the classroom? As digital devices are increasingly replacing traditional writing by hand, it is crucial to examine the long-term implications of this practice. High-density electroencephalogram (HD EEG) was used in 12 young adults… Continue reading The Importance of Cursive #Handwriting Over Typewriting for Learning in the Classroom: A High-Density #EEG Study of 12-Year-Old Children and Young Adults
