Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

Stronger dielectric-elastomer grippers using spine-like bending structure by Heng, Kim Rui

“…The gripper is developed based on a new design of DEA using stiffer spine-like structure made of 380μm thick Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet. …”

Self-reported pain and osteoarthritis of the hip and spine in retired elite rowers by Baynham-Williams, M

“…Hip OA and spine OA were 2.2% and 10.9% prevalent, with total hip replacements reported by 5.4% of retired elite rowers. …”

Biomechanical investigation of traction forces on the cervical (neck/head region) spine by Ang, Lian Ann

“…It is believed that the relief of pain by traction is due to straightening of the cervical spine and a widening of the intervertebral articulating space to relieve compressive or irritative forces on the nervous structures…”
