Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Signal Analysis
Open a Window into the Autonomic Nervous SystemQuantifying the amount of autonomic nervous system activity in an individual patient can be extremely important, because it provides a gauge of disease severity in a large number of diseases. Heart rate variability (HRV) calculated from both short-term and longer-term electrocardiograms is an ideal win
Sherrington's Loom
How does the brain create consciousness? How is it that we have a sense of self; a self that can identify thousands of people, places, objects, words, and musical melodies? While the ultimate challenge--that of transforming electrical impulses in nerve cells into sensations, thoughts, and actions--remains a mystery, there is a great deal that is now known about the way the brain functions. Further, that knowledge is increasing through the use of ever more powerful experimental methods. Sherrington's Loom brings the key information together by blending crucial historical discoveries with more recent findings in the laboratory and neurological clinic. This book is a "must-have" for anyone interested in the history of medicine and science, and who is eager for insights as to how the conscious brain may work.
Provincial Spy
Sophie M'Benga is dead, her body discovered at her place of business, where she had been engaged on the development of sophisticated imaging software for use by the military. The software is no longer there... Suspicious that the Secret Service itself might have been compromised, the powers that be call in the help of an external agent, Mike Logan, the Provincial Eye. Provincial Spy leads the reader through the trail of evidence, clues, investigative procedures, fights, deceptions and downright devilment that eventually bring Logan to an astounding conclusion.

The Great Gelatin Revival
Once synonymous with food novelty, gelatin has re-emerged as an attention-grabbing element of creative cuisine and avant-garde drinkology. Ken Albala’s most fearless food exploration yet takes readers into the sublime world of aspics past and present. Blending history with his trademark zeal for experimentation, Albala traces gelatin’s ever-changing fortunes alongside one-of-a-kind recipes that inspire, delight, and terrify as only jello can do. Gelatin’s wondrous arrival in the medieval era was part of a technological watershed. Today, it reflects our high-tech zeitgeist. Albala encourages readers to celebrate gelatin's return with advice on creating a base and making silicone molds while his outrageous original creations dare you to add some jiggle to breakfast (Eggs Benedict in Champagne Jello), a nightcap (Froot Loop Negroni), or any culinary moment in between. A lighthearted manifesto for the new age of aspics, The Great Gelatin Revival rattles our very understanding of what food can be.
Intractable Seizures
About 20% of people with epilepsy have seizures which are resistant to anticonvulsant medications. These drug-resistant seizures are called `intractable', and the patients who have them - about 1 in 500 of the general population - present a major challenge to neurologists and epilepsy associations. The present volume describes the symptomatology of the major `intractable' syndromes, the most appropriate drugs for each, and the possibilities for surgical control. Research related to the causes and effects of unchecked seizures is presented, and new directions in prevention and therapy are discussed.
Unknown Museums of Upstate New York
Unknown Museums of Upstate New York is an informative and entertaining guide to the rich resources available at fifty small, often overlooked, regional museums. Even those familiar with the upstate area will likely have never visited and perhaps never heard of some of the treasures this guide unearths, such as the Catskill Fly Fishing Museum, the Kazoo Museum, and the Robert Louis Stevenson Cottage and Museum. D’Imperio tells each museum’s story, in light of its cultural and historical relevance, and he provides a wealth of information about the museums as places of interest to visit, not just to read about.
Triple Helix
People go missing all the time. Most are people we have never heard of before, some are in the public eye. When Donal McBastargh, bass player with the new metal band, Lecter, apparently disappears into thin air, his father, Rory is not prepared to sit back and let the formal police investigation proceed at its snail’s pace. He enlists the help of Mike Logan who is in the early stages of setting up the Provincial Eye private inquiry agency.As Logan investigates it becomes obvious that there is far more going on than initially meets the private eye. Men of a certain genetic type have been disappearing for a number of months. Strangely, despite the obvious epidemic of disappearances, the authorities seem to show little interest. What on Earth is going on? Or does the solution to the mystery lie somewhat further afield?Triple Helix relates the story of how Mike Logan, together with an old friend from his university days and some new friends, solves the riddle of the disappearances and yet, in doing so, finds himself propelled into an adventure in even more bizarre circumstances.
The Neurobiologic Mechanisms in Manipulative Therapy
At the request of a Subcommittee of the United States Senate, in February, 1975, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (now the National Institute of Neurological and Communi cative Disorders and Stroke) conducted a Workshop on the Research Status of Spinal Manipulative Therapy. The Workshop was held in response to the Senate Subcommittee's request for an "independent unbiased study of the fundamentals of the chiropractic profession. " Since spinal manipulative therapy is a key tenet of chiropractic, the Institute felt a research workshop focused on that issue would provide a useful base upon which to examine the broad concept of the role of biomechanical alterations of...
