  1. 16. Stress recovery during exposure to natural sounds and environmental noise

    University essay from Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : J. Jesper Alvarsson; [2009]
    Keywords : Stress recovery; physiology; soundscape;

    Abstract : Research suggests that physiological stress reactions may be reduced by visual impressions from natural environments as compared to urban or built-up environments. The present experiment tested whether similar effects might be found by auditory stimulation. READ MORE

  2. 17. Autonomic responses to subliminally processed positive stimuli

    University essay from Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Emma Hilding; [2008]
    Keywords : subliminal perception; positive stimuli;

    Abstract : Subconsciously processed fearful stimuli are routed via the limbic system directly from the thalamus to the amygdala and can automatically trigger physical and behavioural fear responses to prevent humans from getting injured. The purpose of this study was to investigate if there were any autonomic responses to stimuli containing positive valence and a high arousal level. READ MORE

  3. 18. The effect of remote emotion on receiver skin conductance:a failure to confirm

    University essay from Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Göran Brusewitz; [2008]
    Keywords : skin conductance; EDA; emotion; telepathy; parapsychology; telepati;

    Abstract : This study is an attempt to conceptually replicate a study by Ramakers, Stevens and Morris (2005) using a measure of electrodermal activity skin conductance (EDA) to evaluate the possibility of telepathy occurring between biologically and/or emotionally related senders and receivers. Ten negatively valenced and highly arousing target pictures were mixed with 10 blank control pictures in 10 blocks, with one of each kind in each block. READ MORE
