Safe scientific as well as recreational diving requires complex cognitive functions and constant   decision-making. While gas narcosis is familiar to most divers conducting deep (30+ m) dives, its   effects are often considered minuscule or subtle at 30 metres. Previous studies have shown, however,   that narcosis may affect divers at depths usually considered safe from its influence, but little   knowledge exists on the effects of gas narcosis on higher cognitive functions such as decision-making   in relatively shallow water at 30 metres. Impaired decision-making could be a significant safety issue   for a multitasking diver. Here, we conducted an in-situ study exploring the effects of gas narcosis on   decision-making in divers breathing compressed air under water. The divers (N = 22) were divided   into a 5-metre and 30-metre groups based on their results on the BIS/BAS questionnaire, a self-report   questionnaire designed to assess the motivational systems underlying individual behaviour. In the   water, we used underwater tablets equipped with the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), a well-known   psychological task used to evaluate impairments in decision-making. To our knowledge, this was the   first time the test was applied to divers. The divers at 30 metres scored lower scores in the IGT than   the divers at 5 metres (GLM, z = -2.243, p = .025, d.f. = 20). This suggests that narcosis may affect   decision-making in SCUBA divers at 30 metres of depth. Age, body mass index (BMI), gender, or the   number of dives did not affect the performance in the IGT. These results support previous studies   showing that gas narcosis is present at relatively shallow depths and show that it may affect higher   cognitive functions.

The effect of Pilates training on autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system synchrony between participants of couple therapy
Karvonen, Anu (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)
Synchrony, or the moment-by-moment coordination between people in social   situations, has been connected with increased liking and rapport. However, this   type of synchrony is an underexplored area with regard to autonomic ...

Vaikka ihmisten fysiologia on ollut tutkijoiden kiinnostuksen kohteena psykologiassa jo pitkään, psykofysiologisia reaktioita pariterapiassa ei ole vielä tutkittu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin neljää pariskuntaa ...
Associations Between Sympathetic Nervous System Synchrony, Movement Synchrony, and Speech in Couple Therapy
Tourunen, Anu; Nyman-Salonen, Petra; Muotka, Joona; Penttonen, Markku; Seikkula, Jaakko; Kykyri, Virpi-Liisa (Frontiers Media SA, 2022)
Background: Research on interpersonal synchrony has mostly focused on a single modality, and hence little is known about the connections between different types of social attunement. In this study, the relationship between ...
