Respiratory sensations motivate humans to behaviorally modulate their breathing and are
the sensory urge component of the respiratory motivation-to-action neural system. Human …

Cough is generated by a brainstem neural network. Chemical and mechanical stimulation of
the airway can elicit a reflex cough and can elicit a cognitive sensation, the urge-to-cough …

Respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs) have been elicited by inspiratory occlusion
and recorded over the somatosensory cortex. The first positive peak (P1) amplitude has …

The application of inspiratory occlusion stimuli produces cortical responses called
respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). During wakefulness the RREP waveform …

The present study assessed the effects of occlusion duration and attention on components of
the respiratory-related evoked potential (RREP). Twenty-nine channel evoked potential …

The relationship between detection threshold of inspiratory resistive loads and the peaks of
the respiratory-related evoked potential (RREP) is unknown. It was hypothesized that the …

This study investigated the relationship between resistive load magnitude, load magnitude
estimation, and the respiratory-related evoked potential. In Part 1, 10 healthy subjects …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients have elevated non–rapid eye
movement (REM) sleep arousal thresholds to inspiratory loading. To test the hypothesis that …

Normal breathing is usually not sensed by the individual. Individuals become aware of their
breathing at the cognitive level when breathing pattern is manipulated. Airway obstruction …

Human fear research has mostly applied exteroceptive stimuli to induce fear. Interoceptive
sensations however can also be very threatening and play a major role in a number of …
