McGurk effect The McGurk effect is a perceptual phenomenon which demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision in speech perception. It suggests that speech perception is multimodal, that is, that it involves information from more than one sensory modality. The McGurk effect is sometimes called the McGurk-MacDonald effect. It was first described in a paper by McGurk and MacDonald (1976). This effect may be experienced when a video of one phoneme's production is dubbed with a sound-recording of a different phoneme being spoken.

- The McGurk Effect. The McGurk effect (named after Harry McGurk of McGurk & McDonald, 1976) is a compelling demonstration of how we all use visual speech information. The effect shows that we can't help but integrate visual speech into what we 'hear'. Try the demonstration now, and then read about how the stimuli were made, what the effect means, and how to produce your own McGurk effects. Instructions: You will see and hear a mouth speaking four syllables.

Bandwagon effect A literal bandwagon, whence the metaphor is derived. The bandwagon effect is a phenomenon whereby the rate of uptake of beliefs, ideas, fads and trends increases the more that they have already been adopted by others. In other words, the bandwagon effect is characterized by the probability of individual adoption increasing with respect to the proportion who have already done so.

Megacolon Megacolon is an abnormal dilation of the colon (also called the large intestine).[1] The dilation is often accompanied by a paralysis of the peristaltic movements of the bowel. In more extreme cases, the feces consolidate into hard masses inside the colon, called fecalomas (literally, fecal tumor), which can require surgery to be removed.

The McToxics Victory August 1, 1987 McToxics was a national grassroots campaign aimed at getting McDonald's to stop using styrofoam packaging. The campaign began on  August 1, 1987 when Vermonters Organized for Cleanup launched a series of actions to ban the use of foam food packaging in Vermont and was later co-ordinated by the Citizens Clearinghouse on Hazardous Waste (CCHW) .

Singing In 1876, Karl Wernicke found that damage to a different part of the brain also caused language problems. This area of the brain (Wernicke's Area), was further back and lower in the brain compared to Broca's area.

Misinformation effect In a more recent study, researchers led by Henry Roediger used this effect in conjunction with the method of the Asch conformity experiments: two participants were asked to recall information about a scene, one of whom was a confederate who gave intentionally inaccurate information.

Why under ice? When a jet breaks the sound barrier in air, not only is there a sonic boom, but there is a visible cone of condensation from a dramatic change in pressure. This occurs when something moves faster than the speed of sound. When something moves faster than the speed of light, there is the cherenkov effect! Jets breaking the sound barrier

- Vascular groups showed more white matter infarcts, leukoaraiosis, and lacunar infarcts than the normal, neurodegenerative, or Parkinson's groups. In particular, vascular MCI subjects showed more white matter lacunar infarcts and leukoaraiosis than those with neurodegenerative or Parkinson's MCI.

McNemar test on paired proportions easy-to-use statistical software. The McNemar test is a test on a 2x2 classification table when the two classification factors are dependent, or when you want to test the difference between paired proportions, e.g. in studies in which patients serve as their own control, or in studies with before and after design.

What is minimal change disease? One of these conditions is minimal change disease (MCD). Minimal change disease is a disorder where there is damage to your glomeruli. The disease gets its name because the damage cannot be seen under a regular microscope. It can only be seen under a very powerful microscope called an electron microscope.

- Abstract. The goal of this experiment was to evaluate how the plant hormone, Gibberellic acid (Ga3), affects how the four different genotypes (wild type, elongate, petite, and the rosette) in the Brassica rapa plant (also known as Wisconsin Fast Plant) use the plant hormone in their plant growth.ycocel however is a plant inhibitor and inhibits growth and development (Farabee M.J., 2010). The experiment was held in a flat that consisted of a water mat underneath the Styrofoam holder to collect water from the reservoir to the wicks that helps prevent algae from growing (McKeon et al., 2003).

Co-gasification of petroleum coke and biomass Co-gasification of biomass and petroleum coke in an atmospheric bubbling fluidised bed and thermogravimetric analyzer. Synergetic effect between biomass and petroleum coke was observed. The activation energy for pure petcoke is 121.5 kJ/mol, for the 50/50 blend it is 96.3, and for the 20/80 blend – 83.5 kJ/mol.

Overview Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more-serious decline of dementia. It can involve problems with memory, language, thinking and judgment that are greater than normal age-related changes.

The Peniston-Kulkosky Brainwave Neurofeedback Therapeutic Protocol: The Future Psychotherapy for Alcoholism/PTSD/Behavioral Medicine The Peniston-Kulkosky Brainwave Neurofeedback Therapeutic Protocol: The Future Psychotherapy for Alcoholism/PTSD/Behavioral Medicine. Electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback has been in use since the early 1970′s for treatment of anxiety disorders and a variety of psychosomatic disorders. Early work conducted by researchers such as Kamiya and Kliterman focused on alpha wave biofeedback (Kamyi & Noles, 1970).

Toxic Megacolon Toxic megacolon occurs when inflammatory bowel diseases cause the colon to expand, dilate, and distend. When this happens, the colon is unable to remove gas or feces from the body. If gas and feces build up in the colon, your large intestine may rupture (break open). Rupture of your colon is a life-threatening condition.

The effect of flexor digitorum profundus quadriga on grip strength Abstract. This study evaluated the flexor digitorum profundus quadriga effect by mimicking stiffness of one finger and observing its effect on the strengths of the other three fingers of the same hand.hermoplastic wedges were used to simulate mild, moderate and severe stiffness of each finger and the individual strengths of each finger during power grip were measured using a digit-grip ™ dynamometer in ten healthy adult volunteers. Middle, ring, and little fingers strength diminished significantly (P.

Thermic Effect of Food The thermic effect of food, also known as diet-induced thermogenesis or postprandial thermogenesis, is a reference to the increase in metabolic rate (i.e. the rate at which your body burns calories) that occurs after ingestion of food.f you double the size of the meal to 1000 calories, 100 calories (or 10%) would be expected to be burned due to the thermic effect of food, so you would have a net calorie consumption of 1000 - 100 = 900 calories.

Zeeman Effect 1 definitions Zeeman Effect. A shift in the energy levels of an isolated atom or molecule as a consequence of an external magnetic field. The energy levels of an atom (or molecule) depend on the internal forces that electrons and nuclei exert on each other as well as on any external forces (e.g., an electromagnetic field). An observable consequence of the Zeeman effect is the shifting and broadening of spectral lines. The Zeeman effect is the magnetic analogue of the Stark effect.

- Add the average 54-year K-wave period and we are in the spring expansion of the new K-wave. But what the Kondratieff wave is about is a study of long cycles of debt buildup and repudiation. It is not exclusively about price inflation and deflation periods. Deflation is caused in part by the debt collapse.
