DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2016.2577882
Abstract: Swallowing accelerometry is a noninvasive approach currently under consideration as an instrumental screening test for swallowing difficulties, with most current studies focusing on the swallowing vibrations in the anterior–posterior (A-P) and superior–inferior (S-I) directions. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12710
Abstract: We understand little about the energetic costs of flight in free‐ranging birds, in part because current techniques for estimating flight energetics in the wild are limited. Accelerometry is known to estimate energy expenditure through body… read more here.
