Power and Authority Issues in the Editorship of Certain Women’s Experimental Publications by Matilde Martin Gonzalez, Manuel Brito

“…Quelques considérations émanant du Forum "Le Genre et l’Édition", développé dans la revue Chain, y sont évoquées et montrent comment certaines directrices de revues d’art et de poésie ont assumé le rôle important que joue ce type de publication par rapport au défi des modèles de soumission propres à la culture de masse. Leur intérêt pour la présentation d’une pensée critique et d’un activisme politique en art et littérature correspond à une perspective féministe hétérogène qui remplacerait le cadre discursif plus limité des féminismes précédents, basés sur le paradigme simpliste oppresseur/opprimée. …”

The polarity of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation affects the planning and execution of movement sequences by Jake J. Son, Tara D. Erker, Thomas W. Ward, Yasra Arif, Peihan J. Huang, Jason A. John, Kellen M. McDonald, Nathan M. Petro, Grant M. Garrison, Hannah J. Okelberry, Kennedy A. Kress, Giorgia Picci, Elizabeth Heinrichs-Graham, Tony W. Wilson

“…Broadly, anodal stimulation induced significantly stronger beta oscillatory responses in these regions during simple movement sequences, while neural responses to complex sequences were not affected by stimulation. En masse, these data suggest that the beta oscillations serving motor planning (i.e., pre-movement) are particularly sensitive to the polarity of noninvasive stimulation and that the impact varies based on the difficulty of the movement sequence.…”
