Conscious and Non-conscious Representations of Emotional Faces in Asperger's Syndrome

2016
An EEG experimental protocol is designed to clarify the interplay between conscious and non-conscious representations of emotional faces in patients with Asperger's syndrome. The technique suggests that patients with Asperger's syndrome have deficits in non-conscious representation of emotional faces, but have comparable performance in conscious representation with healthy controls.

This manuscript describes the setup, implementation, and analysis of boldness, aggression, and shoaling in zebrafish and testing for the presence of a behavioral syndrome. A standardized approach for behavioral quantification will allow for easier comparison across studies. Modifications to this protocol are possible as each assay can be run individually.

Introduction to z Scores
0 Views •
2023
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one. z scores help...

z Scores and Area Under the Curve

z scores are the standardized values obtained after converting a normal distribution into a standard normal distribution. A z score is measured in units of the standard deviation. The z score tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a z score of zero.

A Standardized Copper Bian-Stone Gua Sha Protocol for Treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Human Subjects
0 Views •
2026
This protocol describes a standardized, step-by-step procedure for performing copper Bian-stone Gua Sha in human subjects diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. The technique involves the application of a copper alloy scraper to specific meridian pathways (Governor Vessel and Bladder Meridian) and designated acupoints. Representative pre- and post-intervention observational data are included to illustrate the procedural workflow and data collection methods.
FAQs
The score combines values assigned to specific signs, symptoms, and pattern characteristics according to the selected diagnostic criteria. Each finding contributes to an overall representation of the syndrome, allowing observations that might otherwise remain descriptive to become analyzable data. The resulting total can support comparisons between assessments, provided the same scoring system is used consistently.
Diagnostic criteria determine which findings are included and how those findings contribute to the result. Consequently, two scoring systems may produce different values for the same patient if they use different items or rules. Interpretation should therefore remain tied to the system that generated the score rather than treating the number as universally comparable.
A change may reflect an alteration in the patient’s recorded signs, symptoms, or pattern characteristics, or a different clinical assessment at a later time. Repeated scoring is most informative when clinicians apply the same criteria and assessment approach at each visit. This supports tracking treatment-related changes without assuming that the number alone explains their cause.
The meaning of a high or low result depends on the scoring framework, its diagnostic criteria, and the findings included. A value should be interpreted alongside the underlying signs and symptoms and the practitioner’s assessment. The score can summarize syndrome presence or severity, but it does not replace clinical interpretation or establish meaning independently of its measurement system.
First, the clinician identifies the relevant signs, symptoms, and pattern characteristics. Next, values are assigned according to the chosen scoring system and diagnostic criteria, then combined into the reported result. Repeating this process over time allows the record to show changes during care. Consistent application is important when results will be compared across visits or patients.
In clinical care, these scores can help organize patient evaluation and monitor changes during treatment. In research, they convert pattern-based observations into data that can support comparison of outcomes across assessments or study groups. Their usefulness depends on applying the same scoring rules and recognizing that practitioner assessment and the selected criteria influence the resulting measurements.
