Affective touch enhances low gamma activity during hand proprioceptive perception in children with different neurodevelopmental conditions by Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, José Antonio Mingorance, José Antonio Mingorance, José Antonio Mingorance, Francesc Mestre-Sansó, Vicent Canals, Yannick Bleyenheuft, Pedro Montoya, Pedro Montoya, Inmaculada Riquelme, Inmaculada Riquelme, Inmaculada Riquelme

“…BackgroundGamma wave activity in the sensorimotor cortex is a critical neural mechanism associated with proprioceptive processing, which is essential for motor coordination, balance, and spatial orientation. The modulation of gamma oscillations by different types of tactile stimuli, including affective touch, is not well understood, particularly in children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder.AimsThis study aims to explore how affective touch influences gamma oscillatory activity and proprioceptive performance in children with typical development, cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorders.Methods and proceduresEEG data were recorded from participants during passive wrist mobilizations under three conditions: following an affective touch stimulus, after a non-affective touch stimulus, and with no tactile stimulation. …”

Reducing heat load density with asymmetric and inclined double-crystal monochromators: principles and requirements revisited by XianRong Huang, Lahsen Assoufid, Albert T. Macrander

“…In addition to the large beam footprint, aDCMs have very large bandwidths (up to ∼10 eV) and angular acceptance, but the narrow angular acceptance of the second crystal requires precise control of the relative orientations and strains. Based on Fourier coupled-wave diffraction theory calculations, it is rigorously proved that the iDCM has almost the same properties as the conventional symmetric DCM, including the efficiency, angular acceptance, bandwidth, tuning energy range and sensitivity to misalignment. …”
