Effects of rain sound on mental arithmetic, mood, autonomic nervous activity and salivary cortisol was evaluated, by examining characteristics of autonomic and endocrine system responses to a psychological stressor (Mental arithmetic), along with associated mood change and mental arithmetic performance under rain sound condition and control one, in 24 female college students (18 to 23 years old). We employed profile of mood states and visual analogue scale to assess mood, and employed heart rate variability, systolic and diastolic blood pressure to assess autonomic nervous activity, and salivary cortisol response to mental arithmetic to assess hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis reactivity. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed decrease of basal anger-hostility, and decrease of salivary cortisol secretion response to mental arithmetic, along with increased accuracy of mental arithmetic, and with some tendency of sympathetic predominance, under rain sound condition. These results suggest that rain sound would raise arousal level with coolness, and may increase accuracy of mental arithmetic.

Recent advances in neurosciences permitted to extend the knowledge about brain functioning to the organizational field with a specific interest to leadership, with the extent to explore more proficient ways of managing. In the present research, through a hyperscanning paradigm, EEG and autonomic synchrony was explored during performance reviews to investigate if different leadership styles (partecipative vs. authoritative), could be associated with different dyadic engagement. Analysis involved coherence computation assessing the strenght of inter-brain and body synchrony, which revealed the presence of a higher emotional synchronization for both neural and bodily reactions mainly for partecipative style.

In neuropsychological assessments, a patient’s raw score is frequently compared to a large general population normative sample. It is common to use the chronological age as entry of norm tables to assess a patient’s current cognitive function. In individual patients with a developmental delay or cognitive impairment, this may result in misinterpretation of performance. The aim of this study was to test the impact of chronological and developmental age parameters on motion perception outcomes and to construct and evaluate normal motion perception limits for clinical practice. In the present study, the developmental age and four aspects of motion perception (biological motion, global motion, motion speed, motion-defined form) were assessed in 49 children with indications of brain damage and in 60 controls. Based on current results, we present the preliminary normal limits and we suggest the use the developmental age as entry of norm tables.
