Socioecological models of health view romantic relationships as micro-social systems in which spouses influence one another's health-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Although prior work suggests spousal interdependence in eating behaviors, the degree of interdependence may vary as a ...

Background: Early cardiovascular disease risk detection opportunities are limited in men, whereas gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are risk indicators in women. We hypothesised adverse pregnancy outcomes also signal risk in fathers, due to shared environments and behaviours. Methods: Our retrospective cohort study included ...

The pleasurable urge to move to music, termed "groove," is thought to arise from the tension between top-down metric expectations or predictions and rhythmic complexity. Specifically, groove ratings are highest for moderately complex rhythms, balancing expectation and surprise. To test this, meter and rhythmic complexity need to be manipulated i ...

Rationale: Cocaine addiction is marked by high relapse rates, often triggered by drug-associated cues in the environment. These can be conditioned stimuli (CSs), which occur after drug intake and signal drug delivery, and discriminative stimuli (DSs), which signal that seeking responses will produce drug, before any such responses have been initiated (i.e ...

Background: Childhood cancer survivors face physical, psychological, and neurological symptoms that contribute to risky health behaviors and increased healthcare utilization. Traditional survivorship care models overlook risk associated with this symptom burden. The current study examined symptom ...

Background: The Biotuner Toolbox is an open-source Python toolbox for biosignals that integrates concepts from neuroscience, music theory, and signal processing. It introduces a harmonic perspective on physiological oscillations by applying musical constructs such as consonance, rhythm, and scale construction. Methods: The core biotuner_object processes ...

To extract a voice from a background of competing speakers, the human brain exploits voice pitch (harmonic cues) and spatial location (binaural cues) to separate speakers perceptually, and effectively attenuates the background (anything but the target voice). Quieter backgrounds are generally favourable to attentional and memory systems because they free ...

Harmonic cancellation is a putative mechanism in the auditory system that might contribute to the perception of the fundamental frequency (F0) of a complex tone and to the segregation of voices by their F0. This study aimed to provide more tangible evidence of its existence, acting like a comb-filter. Experiment 1 measured a masked detection threshold (MD ...

The ability to internally generate and maintain a rhythmic pulse, i.e., beat imagery, is a fundamental aspect of musical cognition. While recent theories propose that premotor regions support internal temporal predictions during rhythm perception and imagery, direct causal evidence remains limited. In this study, we investigated the specific contributions ...

Many parents have concerns about raising their children with multiple languages. However, there is a paucity of previous research regarding parental concerns about multilingual child-rearing, particularly in multilingual societies. We address this gap with a corpus-assisted discourse study of parental concerns regarding multilingual child-rearing in Quebe ...
