Oral History Interview, Callen Harty (1190)
No full textIn this interview, Callen Harty discusses growing up gay in conservative and Roman Catholic family, and the troubles that came with that. After he eventually came out, he became involved in gay organizations in Madison, Wisconsin. To learn more about this oral history, download & review the index first (or transcript if available). It will help determine which audio file(s) to download & listen to.In his 2011 interview with Ala Larson-Lohmiller, Callen Harty discusses his sexuality and community involvement in Madison, Wisconsin. Harty knew he liked boys at a young age, but, due to the conservative nature of his environment and Roman Catholic family, as well as misinformation regarding gay people, did not come out until the age of twenty one. After coming out, Harty became involved with gay organizations in Platteville and, later, Madison, Wisconsin. Over the years, Harty has played a role in the foundation of the 10% Society at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Proud Theater. He has also been involved with Outreach and the Broom Street Theater and engaged in political activism. His most recent accomplishments include advocating for the reintroduction of the Child Victims Act - which Ron Johnson and the Catholic Church successfully worked together to defeat - and had a book accepted for publication

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation and Behavioral Change: The Intermediary Influence of the Brain
No full textNumerous studies have shown that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can modulate a wide-range of behavioral processes (Coffman et al., 2014; Harty et al., 2014; Sarkar et al., 2014; Pasqualotto, 2016), and ameliorate deficits in several neuropsychiatric disorders (for reviews see Kekic et al., 2016; Lefaucheur et al., 2017). These promising outcomes, in conjunction with the fact that the approach is safe and inexpensive, have generated enthusiasm for its viability as both an investigative and neuroenhancement tool. However, concerns about the variability and reproducibility of tES effects have constrained progression with its application (Jacobson et al., 2012; Berlim et al., 2013; Horvath et al., 2015). Many factors may contribute to the variability and poor reproducibility of findings. Some of these have already been discussed elsewhere such as insufficient statistical power, methodological differences across studies, experimenter error, inadequate sensitivity and test-retest reliability of the outcome measures (Horvath et al., 2015; Open Science Collaboration, 2015). However, one factor that we believe has received insufficient consideration to date concerns the extent to which the assumptions relating to the targeted brain region are supported (Bikson and Rahman, 2013; Miniussi et al., 2013; Plewnia et al., 2015; Harty et al., 2017). In the present article, we highlight the importance of accounting for states and traits of the neurophysiological milieu when assessing the effects of interventions such as tES on behavior. We present hypothetical scenarios relating to the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), but the discussed logic equally applies to other electrical and magnetic stimulation techniques. We additionally propose that mediation and moderation analyses constitute valuable and elegant statistical approaches for assessing the dynamic interaction between these interventions, the brain, and behavior
Transcranial direct current stimulation over right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex enhances error awareness in older age
No full textThe ability to detect errors during cognitive performance is compromised in older age and in a range of clinical populations. This study was designed to assess the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on error awareness in healthy older human adults. tDCS was applied over DLPFC while subjects performed a computerized test of error awareness. The influence of current polarity (anodal vs cathodal) and electrode location (left vs right hemisphere) was tested in a series of separate single-blind, Sham-controlled crossover trials, each including 24 healthy older adults (age 65–86 years). Anodal tDCS over right DLPFC was associated with a significant increase in the proportion of performance errors that were consciously detected, and this result was recapitulated in a separate replication experiment. No such improvements were observed when the homologous contralateral area was stimulated. The present study provides novel evidence for a causal role of right DLPFC regions in subserving error awareness and marks an important step toward developing tDCS as a tool for remediating the performance-monitoring deficits that afflict a broad range of populations
Music Therapy in the Modern Era: Three Discussions
No full textThis Senior Inquiry presentation includes the findings of three Pre-Music therapy senior’s research. The three projects delve into very different, but important aspects of music therapy in our modern era. Sean Harty\u27s Memory and Music delves into the impact of music on different parts of the aging brain in regards to memory recall. Music therapy is one avenue in order to assist this type of clientele. Victoria Kleeman\u27s Synergy Should Tell the Story in Music Therapy explores the idea of creating synergy within the world of music therapy. Her discussion leads with the idea that the creation of synergy comes with better exposure to the field to the public, more abundant research, and licensure becoming available in all fifty states. Finally, Kate Pisarczyk’s Music’s Effect on Stress details the role that stress plays on college students, and how music can act as a coping mechanism. The author also discusses details of a study that was conducted in which the effects of music listening on college student’s stress levels was examined
BC blues: an examination of municipal police misconduct in British Columbia
No full textThis paper examines police misconduct in British Columbia focusing on municipal police officers who are subject to the BC Police Act. Police deviance and misconduct is explored through academic literature and several models are discussed that could provide a framework for police agencies to develop programs to reduce police deviance within their agency. The discipline process, as mandated by the Police Act, is explained so that these models may be integrated within the existing legislation. Substantiated misconduct summary data from 2011 to 2017 was examined using a series of variables to determine if behavioural trends could be identified. The trends that were identified were reviewed in totality and specific to on and off-duty conduct. Based on these trends, police agencies could isolate areas to focus future program development to prevent, reduce, and mitigate police deviance. The paper concludes with recommendations for future training program efforts and suggestions for further research.Matthew Harty received the 2019 Governor General’s Gold Medal which is presented to the graduate who achieves the highest standing at the graduate degree level
