Spatial Augmented Respiratory Cardiofeedback Design for Prosthetic Embodiment Training: a Pilot Study
We developed and preliminarily tested an embodiment training protocol based on a SARC implemented through a computer screen – visualizing a 3D model of a prosthetic hand – and a thoracic band for monitoring the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of the users.

Into the wild…the need for standardization and consensus recommendations to leverage consumer-facing sleep technologies
By considering sensor capability and contribution to sleep outcomes, most devices now incorporate photoplethysmography (PPG), an optical measure of variation in small vessel blood volume.

Earlier Bedtime and Effective Coping Skills Predict a Return to Low-Risk of Depression in Young Adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic
To determine the persistent effects of the pandemic on mental health in young adults, we categorized depressive symptom trajectories and sought factors that promoted a reduction in depressive symptoms in high-risk individuals.

A dataset reflecting the multidimensionality of insomnia symptomatology in adolescence using standardized questionnaires
Psychological and behavioral questionnaire data are provided for 95 adolescents (age range between 16-19 years, 62% female) with and without clinical or subclinical insomnia symptoms, determined from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

New insight into the neural mechanisms of migraine in adolescents: Relationships with sleep
This case-control study examines if measures of subjective and objective (actigraphic) sleep difficulties mediate alterations in amygdalar connectivity in adolescents with migraine compared to healthy adolescents.

Risk for depression tripled during the COVID-19 pandemic in emerging adults followed for the last 8 years
The aim of this study was to examine longitudinal changes in depression risk before and during COVID-19 in a cohort of emerging adults in the U.S. and to determine whether prior drinking or sleep habits could predict the severity of depressive symptoms during the pandemic.

Physiological Synchrony: A New Approach Toward Identifying Unknown Presentation Attacks on Biometric Systems
Here, we propose a new approach toward detecting unknown presentation attacks based on the measurement and characterization of synchrony between multiple physiological signals obtained from contact and contactless sensors.
