Schizophrenia Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks on EEG Data

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7832668/v1.pdf Stage Normal Science Paradigm framing The research is situated within the established paradigm of sensory psychology and cognitive neuroscience, which posits that visual cues, particularly color, are potent modulators of appetite and food-related motivation. This framework assumes that the brain's reward system processes visual information to guide eating behavior, and the study uses

Less Color, Less Craving: The Impact of Food Image Desaturation on Appetite and Motivation

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7832668/v1.pdf Stage Normal Science Paradigm framing The research operates within the established paradigm of sensory psychology and cognitive neuroscience, which posits that visual cues are critical modulators of appetitive behavior. Specifically, it builds on the model that color saturation acts as a primary signal for food reward value, influencing hedonic ("liking") and motivational ("wanting")

A history of chronic adolescent stress attenuates cued fear-potentiated startle in adult female Wistar rats

URL https://assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-7603035/v1/da778077-560b-4fee-87f3-582327e9d2bb.pdf Stage Normal Science Paradigm framing The research operates within the established paradigm of behavioral neuroscience, which posits that stress-related disorders like PTSD arise from maladaptive fear learning governed by specific neural circuits (e.g., amygdala) and neurochemical systems (e.g., glutamatergic NMDA receptors). This paradigm uses animal models and standardized behavioral tests, such as fear

Dopamine receptor sensitivity and Pavlovian conditioned approach

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7723812/v1.pdf Stage Normal Science Paradigm framing This research is situated within the established paradigm of behavioral neuroscience that investigates the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction. Specifically, it operates within the incentive-salience theory of addiction, which posits that the mesolimbic dopamine system mediates the attribution of motivational value to reward-associated cues. The study uses the Pavlovian
