CATs Tower of London test is a free, computer-based software test originally developed by Shallice (1982) to investigate problem solving in subjects with damage to the frontal lobes. The CATs Tower of London Test comes with one preprogrammed test along with extensive normative data for that test. You can also create a test using your design. Briefly, subjects are required to move colored beads from a window on the left (working area) until they achieve the arrangement in the window on the right (goal position). Subjects are instructed to try to achieve the goal arrangement in as few moves as possible. The software contains a Tower of London test. The test contains trials with 3 beads and 3 pegs, 4 beads and 4 pegs, and 5 beads and 5 pegs. You can use the Setup screen to create a test using your design. A test can contain 3, 4, and 5 bead problems with varying number of moves required for the optimal solution. In Shallice's initial investigation using the Tower of London, patients with damage to the left anterior frontal lobe demonstrated impaired planning (i.e., greater number of moves required for solution). Patients with damage to the right anterior, and left or right posterior areas of the frontal lobes were not impaired. Thus, results from this initial study provided support for the view that the left anterior frontal lobe area is involved in the planning required for solving the Tower of London test. Recent studies using neuroimaging techniques support this notion. Studies using regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) imaging indicate an involvement of the left frontal lobes in the planning required for successfully completing the Tower of London puzzle. Studies of patients with damage to the frontal lobes indicate less cortical specificity, but are consistent with the view that the frontal lobes are involved in the planning required for solving this puzzle.

https://neuropsychological-assessment-tests.com/sanzen-reaction-time-test

Reaction Time is free neuropsychological evaluation software designed to assess subject's speed of processing on three relatively simple tasks. Tasks include a simple reaction time test, a choice test, and a conditional choice test. Participants are shown a series of visual stimuli on a computer screen and asked to respond by pulling an appropriate trigger on a standard game pad. Both reaction time and the trigger pulled are recorded for subsequent analysis. Tasks to be used in the test, the average inter-stimulus interval and the number of stimuli presented for each task can be set by the investigator. The analysis includes means and standard deviations for response latencies for a single session, as well as the capability of evaluating a participant's performance on a particular session against their performance on a series of sessions. This test requires the use of a game pad that supports at least four buttons and provides a right and left trigger button. We have tested several different brands of inexpensive game pads and have found them acceptable; however we have standardized on Microsoft's SideWinder and have used it in collecting the normative data for this test.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Visual span tests have been frequently used to assess non-verbal short-term memory. The free computer-based CATs Visual Span provides you with a flexible package for designing tests of visual spatial memory. You can create your own unique tests or variations on previously reported versions of the visual span test. For example in the Corsis Block-Tapping Test the examiner places nine blocks on a board and taps them in a designated sequence. The participant is required to repeat the sequence. Over trials the length of the sequence is increased (see Milner, 1971). The Knox Cube Imitation Test uses four blocks and essentially follows the same logic. The Wechsler Memory Scale - Revised includes a two part visual memory span test. In this test the examiner points at boxes on an eight box card in a prearranged sequence and the subject is required to repeat back the sequence. The initial trial starts with a sequence of two blocks and increases over trials. The two parts of this test are a forward visual span test and a reverse visual span test. Tests similar to these and more can be setup with the CATs Visual Span.

http://cgap.nci.nih.gov/Chromosomes/Mitelman

The web site includes genomic data for humans and mice, including transcript sequence, gene expression patterns, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, clone resources, and cytogenetic information. Descriptions of the methods and reagents used in deriving the CGAP datasets are also provided. An extensive suite of informatics tools facilitates queries and analysis of the CGAP data by the community. One of the newest features of the CGAP web site is an electronic version of the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer. The data in the Mitelman Database is manually culled from the literature and subsequently organized into three distinct sub-databases, as follows: -The sub-database of cases contains the data that relates chromosomal aberrations to specific tumor characteristics in individual patient cases. It can be searched using either the Cases Quick Searcher or the Cases Full Searcher. -The sub-database of molecular biology and clinical associations contains no data from individual patient cases. Instead, the data is pulled from studies with distinct information about: -Molecular biology associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and tumor histologies to genomic sequence data, typically genes rearranged as a consequence of structural chromosome changes. -Clinical associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and/or gene rearrangements and tumor histologies to clinical variables, such as prognosis, tumor grade, and patient characteristics. It can be searched using the Molecular Biology and Clinical (MBC) Associations Searcher -The reference sub-database contains all the references culled from the literature i.e., the sum of the references from the cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. It can be searched using the Reference Searcher. CGAP has developed six web search tools to help you analyze the information within the Mitelman Database: -The Cases Quick Searcher allows you to query the individual patient cases using the four major fields: aberration, breakpoint, morphology, and topography. -The Cases Full Searcher permits a more detailed search of the same individual patient cases as above, by including more cytogenetic field choices and adding search fields for patient characteristics and references. -The Molecular Biology Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to gene rearrangements as a consequence of cytogenetic aberrations. -The Clinical Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to clinical associations of cytogenetic aberrations and/or gene rearrangements. -The Recurrent Chromosome Aberrations Searcher provides a way to search for structural and numerical abnormalities that are recurrent, i.e., present in two or more cases with the same morphology and topography. -The Reference Searcher queries only the references themselves, i.e., the references from the individual cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. Sponsors: This database is sponsored by the University of Lund, Sweden and have support from the Swedish Cancer Society and the Swedish Children''s Cancer Foundation

http://www.epa.gov/iris/

IRIS is a toxicology data file on the National Library of Medicine''s (NLM) Toxicology Data Network. It contains data in support of human health risk assessment. It is compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and contains over 500 chemical records. It is a compilation of electronic reports on specific substances found in the environment and their potential to cause human health effects. IRIS was initially developed for EPA staff in response to a growing demand for consistent information on substances for use in risk assessments, decision-making and regulatory activities. The information in IRIS is intended for those without extensive training in toxicology, but with some knowledge of health sciences. The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an electronic database containing information on human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances in the environment. IRIS is prepared and maintained by the EPAs National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of Research and Development (ORD). The heart of the IRIS system is its collection of searchable documents that describe the health effects of individual substances and that contain descriptive and quantitative information in the following categories: -Noncancer effects: Oral reference doses and inhalation reference concentrations (RfDs and RfCs, respectively) for effects known or assumed to be produced through a nonlinear (possibly threshold) mode of action. In most instances, RfDs and RfCs are developed for the noncarcinogenic effects of substances. -Cancer effects: Descriptors that characterize the weight of evidence for human carcinogenicity, oral slope factors, and oral and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Where a nonlinear mode of action is established, RfD and RfC values may be used.

http://www.antibodypedia.com/

Open-access database of antibodies against human proteins developed through collaboration between Antibodypedia AB and the Nature Publishing Group. It aims to provide the scientific community and antibody distributors alike with information on the effectiveness of specific antibodies in specific applications--to help scientists select the right antibody for the right application. Antibodypedia's mission is to promote the functional understanding of the human proteome and expedite analysis of potential biomarkers discovered through clinical efforts. To this end, they have developed an open-access, curated, searchable database containing annotated and scored affinity reagents to aid users in selecting antibodies tailored to specific biological and biomedical assays. They envisage Antibodypedia as a virtual repository of validated antibodies against all human, and ultimately most model-organism, proteins. Such a tool will be exploitable to identify affinity reagents to document protein expression patterns in normal and pathological states and to purify proteins alone and in complex for structural and functional analyses. They hope to promote characterization of the roles and interplay of proteins and complexes in human health and disease. They encourage commercial providers to submit information regarding their inventory of antibodies with links to quality control data. Independent users can submit their own application-specific experimental data using standard validation criteria (supportive or non-supportive) developed with the assistance of an international advisory board recruited from academic research institutions. Users can also comment on specific antibodies without submitting validation data.

The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. The data is from published scientific papers. Study data is recorded in the context of official human gene nomenclature with additional molecular reference numbers and links. It is gene centered. That is, each record is a record of a gene or marker. If a study investigated 6 genes for a particular disorder, there will be 6 records. Anyone may view this database and anyone may submit records. You do not have to be an author on the original study to submit a record. All submitted records will be reviewed before inclusion in the archive. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to human diseases. Most common diseases are influenced by a large number of genetic and environmental factors, most of which individually have only a modest effect on the disease. Though genetic contributions are relatively well characterized for some monogenetic diseases, there has been no effort at curating the extensive list of environmental etiological factors. From a comprehensive search of the MeSH annotation of MEDLINE articles, they identified 3,342 environmental etiological factors associated with 3,159 diseases. They also identified 1,100 genes associated with 1,034 complex diseases from the NIH Genetic Association Database (GAD), a database of genetic association studies. 863 diseases have both genetic and environmental etiological factors available. Integrating genetic and environmental factors results in the etiome, which they define as the comprehensive compendium of disease etiology.

SYFPEITHI is a database comprising more than 7000 peptide sequences known to bind class I and class II MHC molecules. The entries are compiled from published reports only. It contains a collection of MHC class I and class II ligands and peptide motifs of humans and other species, such as apes, cattle, chicken, and mouse, for example, and is continuously updated. Searches for MHC alleles, MHC motifs, natural ligands, T-cell epitopes, source proteins/organisms and references are possible. Hyperlinks to the EMBL and PubMed databases are included. In addition, ligand predictions are available for a number of MHC allelic products. The database is based on previous publications on T-cell epitopes and MHC ligands. It contains information on: -Peptide sequences -anchor positions -MHC specificity -source proteins, source organisms -publication references Since the number of motifs continuously increases, it was necessary to set up a database which facilitates the search for peptides and allows the prediction of T-cell epitopes. The prediction is based on published motifs (pool sequencing, natural ligands) and takes into consideration the amino acids in the anchor and auxiliary anchor positions, as well as other frequent amino acids. The score is calculated according to the following rules: The amino acids of a certain peptide are given a specific value depending on whether they are anchor, auxiliary anchor or preferred residue. Ideal anchors will be given 10 points, unusual anchors 6-8 points, auxiliary anchors 4-6 and preferred residues 1-4 points. Amino acids that are regarded as having a negative effect on the binding ability are given values between -1 and -3. Sponsors: SYFPEITHI is supported by DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 685 and theEuropean Union: EU BIOMED CT95-1627, BIOTECH CT95-0263, and EU QLQ-CT-1999-00713.

HC2 is an EU funded project that aims to promote, support and help define future lines of research in Human Computer Confluence (HCC). HCC is the study of the intersection of HCI, Cognitive Neuroscience, VR/AR, Presence, Pervasive Computing and how they can enable new forms of sensing, perception, interaction and understanding. In a sense it is the study of the disappearing interface. HCC, Human-Computer Confluence, is an ambitious research program studying how the emerging symbiotic relation between humans and computing devices can enable radically new forms of sensing, perception, interaction, and understanding. The horizontal character of HCC makes it a fascinating and fertile interdisciplinary field, but it can also compromise its growth, with researchers scattered across disciplines and groups worldwide. To address this we are building a community of HCC researchers. There are lots of ways you can join in. Add your name to the HCC Players Map, take advantage of our Exchange Program to work with colleagues at your favorite lab, sign up for our Summer School or just follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn to see what''s happening. In order to foster interdisciplinary research and promote HCC research we have set up an Exchange Program. Students that wish to apply for financial support from our Exchange Program should follow the steps provided. The Exchange Program is open to all graduate students (Masters and PhD). A maximum of 500 Euro support will be provided per student.
