The physiological response to the played music was estimated by measuring the pulse rate. The task performances were obtained by calculating the omission error and reaction time for Go trials, and commission…

intelligences is that it is derived from his intuitions and reasoning and not from a full fledged research. There is no set of tests to recognize or measure different intelligences. But, with the advancement of research around functioning of the brain, it can be argued that it supports the theory of multiple intelligences though not specifically the seven given by Gardner. There are important questions and issues about Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. Nevertheless, it has…

Physical theatre, according to author Collin Chambers, is an open-ended term that is used to describe theatre pieces that investigate and emphasize the physical aspects of performance (2002: 13).

Usually, the recommended dose of diphenhydramine for adults is 50mg by mouth at bedtime, but since the patient…

3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…

The human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the eyes; (III) oculomotor carries motor commands from the brain and is…

implemented into the psychological field it would need the ability to learn, and this is where the potential danger comes into place. If AI has the ability to learn, they can develop into a Strong AI, or AI that has surpassed our human intelligence, and could be a grave danger to society. He goes on to claim that Artificial Intelligence could in a way represent a “Super Clinician.” This super clinical could be better than a human practitioner as it could be built with advanced technology that…
