Переживание личного времени при болезни Альцгеймера

Original manuscript received February 3, 2020.Revised manuscript accepted March 18, 2020.Background. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative illness, which occurs with increasing frequency as people age, and is currently a disease beyond curative therapeutic possibilities. While progressive memory impairment is the upfront element associated with the disease, other neurocognitive problems are also associated with it, such as language impairment that tend to degenerate into aphasia. The paper presents singular representations of time in such patients’ lived experience, which with the course of the disease gradually move away from the real present around them. In consequence, they live in a bygone era. The dimension of the perceived world implies an anchoring in temporality in the present by using the resources of the past. This becomes impossible with the progression of the cognitive disorders. Multiple psychological tensions result from patient’s maladjustment to temporality. Objective. The article attempts to define the singular experience of the time of the demented patient according to the phases of the disease. Design. An analysis of the psychological tensions summoned at the various stages of the disease was carried out using a semiotic methodology. Results. The progression of the disease gives way to another mode of relation to the world, presentism. With its course, emotions can no longer unfold. At first, the patient seeks to increase his grip on the surrounding world, and the internal psychological tensions are accentuated. Suddenly the world ends up completely escaping him, and catastrophically the internal tensions collapse. The patient slides irreversibly towards regression. Conclusion. If the emotional intensity of what the patient experiences is enough, he remains engaged in the time of a presence in the world, even if it is distinct from the reality of those around him. When the intensity collapses, the demented patients disengage from it. The caregivers or families who take care of them can understand the mechanisms involved in the patients’ experience of time. This allows them to adapt their own behavior. Thus, they limit the risk of misinterpretation and induce certain behavioral disorders linked to their shift from the reality of the patients.Краткое введение. Болезнь Альцгеймера (AD) — это нейродегенеративное заболевание, случающееся с возрастающей частотой при увеличении возраста, и в настоящее время находится за рамками лечебных терапевтических возможностей. Первым признаком болезни является прогрессирующее ухудшение памяти, но при AD возникают и другие нейрокогнитивные проблемы, например, речевое расстройство, имеющее тенденцию переходить в афазию. В статье описаны единичные представления времени в жизненном опыте пациентов с болезнью Альцгеймера, которые с течением болезни постепенно отдаляются от реального настоящего вокруг них. Фактически они живут в давно ушедшей эпохе. Измерение воспринимаемого мира подразумевает привязку к временнóму в настоящем посредством использования ресурсов прошлого. Это становится невозможным при прогрессировании когнитивных расстройств. Многочисленные психологические напряжения возникают в результате неправильного приспособления пациента к темпоральности. Цель. В статье предпринята попытка определить единичный опыт переживания времени у больных с деменцией в соответствии с фазами заболевания. Дизайн. Анализ психологических напряжений, вызванных на различных стадиях заболевания, проводился с использованием семиотической методологии. Результаты. Прогрессирование болезни вызывает другой способ отношения к миру, презентизм. При этом больной уже не может выражать свои эмоции. Сначала пациент стремится усилить свою “хватку” за окружающий мир, и внутреннее психологическое напряжение также усиливается. Но внезапно мир полностью ускользает от него, и внутреннее напряжение катастрофически разрушается. Пациент необратимо скатывается к регрессии. Вывод. Если эмоциональная интенсивность переживаний пациента достаточна, он остается вовлеченным в жизнь, хотя его восприятие и отличается от реальности окружающих его людей. Когда интенсивность эмоций резко снижается, пациенты с деменцией выпадают из реальности. Ухаживающий персонал или семьи, которые заботятся о больных, могут понять механизмы, задействованные в переживании пациентами времени. Это позволяет им адаптировать свое собственное поведение. Таким образом, уменьшается риск неправильного толкования поведения больных и можно предупредить определенные поведенческие расстройства у пациентов

Brain Play Some psychological perspectives in flute performance training

Masteroppgave utøvende musikk, klassisk- Universitetet i Agder, 2015Both the field of psychology and that of neurology can provide important insights into the musical functions of the brain. This thesis aims to provide a pragmatic theory of how to incorporate aspects of these fields into music performance and education in a flute context. It is divided into two parts where Part I focuses on the theoretical methodologies that can be used for this purpose, including neurology, cognitive and social psychology, philosophy and how habits affect our lives. Part II combines the conclusions from Part I into a three-point ‘checklist’ that aims to provide a practical way of applying the theories to real-life practise, performance and educational settings

Communicating Spiritual Experience with Video Game Technology.

Michael Highland and Gino Yu “Communicating Spiritual Experience with Video Game Technology” deal with the aspect of experience. They stress that given the interactive nature of video game technology, it is an ideal medium for representing and communicating experience. As the game world is causally dependent on input from individual players, they evoke feelings that are urgent, direct, and personalized. Online virtual spaces therefore provide an environment for people of different faiths to come together in conversation

Design and preliminary affective characterization of a novel fabric-based tactile display

In this work we present a novel wearable haptic system based on an elastic fabric which can be moved forward and backward over the user forearm thus simulating a human caress. The system allows to control both the velocity of the “caress-like” movement, by regulating motor velocity, and the “strength of the caress”, by regulating motor positions and hence the force exerted by the fabric on the user forearm. Along with a description of the mechanical design and control of the system, we also report the preliminary results of psycho-physiological assessment tests performed by six healthy participants. Such an assessment is intended as a preliminary characterization of the device capability of eliciting tactually emotional states in humans using different combinations of velocity and caress strength. The emotional state is expressed in terms of arousal and valence. Moreover, the activation of the autonomic nervous system is also evaluated through the analysis of the electrodermal response (EDR). The main results reveal a statistically significant correlation between the perceived arousal level and the “strength of the caress” and between the perceived valence level and the “velocity of the caress”. Moreover, we found that phasic EDR is able to discern between pleasant and unpleasant stimuli. These preliminary results are very encouraging and confirm the effectiveness of this device in conveying emotional-like haptic stimuli in a controllable and wearable fashion
