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.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Monoamine Levels in Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence
Whether the cause of daytime sleepiness in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a direct consequence of the loss of orexin (ORX) neurons or whether low orexin reduces the efficacy of…

Animal Models of Narcolepsy and the Hypocretin/orexin System: Past, Present, and Future
Animal models have advanced not only our understanding of the etiology and phenotype of the sleep disorder narcolepsy but have also informed sleep/wake regulation more generally.

Hypocretin/Orexin Receptor Pharmacology and Sleep Phases
The involvement of this system in a disorder characterized by the loss of control over arousal state boundaries also suggested its role as a critical component of endogenous sleep-wake regulatory…

Neurofunctional characteristics of executive control in older people with HIV infection: a comparison with Parkinson’s disease
Expression of executive dysfunctions is marked by substantial heterogeneity in people living with HIV infection (PLWH) and attributed to neuropathological degradation of frontostriatal circuitry with age and disease.
