We have a new paper in Frontiers in Psychology, led by Spencer Murch, looking at a cardiac psychophysiology measure called Pre-ejection Period (PEP) as a marker of sympathetic nervous system activity, during slot machine gambling. This paper features in a special section of Frontiers on High Performance Cognition: Information-processing in Complex Skills, Expert Performance, and Flow. Thanks to Mario Ferrari who provided one of the three datasets for the paper, and Brooke Macdonald, who worked on one of the experiments during an undergraduate research assistant at the Centre.
