Online or In-Person: How Do We Connect and Engage? Most of what we know about how the human brain functions is based on studies of brain activity in single individuals under very controlled parameters. Conventional neuroimaging is performed in a scanner environment using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in which participants are constrained in an MRI bore that includes loud high-pitched noises, a head-mounted contraption conducive to...

Shining a light on sleep disturbance A good night’s sleep can depend on many factors. Physical stressors, such as loud noises or extreme light, might interrupt sleep patterns temporarily, but underlying medical conditions, specifically stress-related diseases, can have long-term health implications. While it sounds counterintuitive, clinical evidence suggests that to alter sleep patterns for the better, it is a good idea to turn the...
