These principles include, but are not limited to (6): mass practice (i.e. grouped, high repetition to promote learning) spaced practice (i.e. structured rest periods between practice) dosage (i.e. how often training occurs) goal or task-oriented practice (i.e. training centers around a true goal/task with a defined outcome) challenge (i.e. tuning the dial on the task difficulty level to ...
Key points The vagus nerve controls many unconscious processes in the body The vagus neural network interfaces with inflammatory, mood and pain regulation. ...
From a therapeutic standpoint it is beneficial to be able to promote parasympathetic activity on demand (or reduce sympathetic activity) which has led to developments in safe and effective ways to achieve this. The Vagus Nerve interfaces with the PNS and activity of the Vagus Nerve is correlated with autonomic nervous system ...
Highlights of Research A clinical study investigated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Results indicate tVNS stimulates afferent fibers of the vagus nerve; and, that tVNS enhances creativity performance in divergent thinking. ...
