Alpha Rhythms in Audition: Cognitive and Clinical Perspectives
Like the visual and the sensorimotor systems, the auditory system exhibits pronounced alpha-like resting oscillatory activity. Due to the relatively small spatial extent of auditory cortical areas, this rhythmic activity is less obvious and frequently masked by non-auditory alpha-generators when recording non-invasively using magnetoencephalography (MEG) or electroencephalography (EEG). Followi...
متن کاملDiscriminating speech rhythms in audition, vision, and touch.
We investigated the extent to which people can discriminate between languages on the basis of their characteristic temporal, rhythmic information, and the extent to which this ability generalizes across sensory modalities. We used rhythmical patterns derived from the alternation of vowels and consonants in English and Japanese, presented in audition, vision, both audition and vision at the same...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E and alpha brain rhythms in mild cognitive impairment: a multicentric electroencephalogram study.
OBJECTIVE Relationships between the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele and electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythmicity have been demonstrated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients but not in the preclinical stage prodromic to it, namely, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The present multicentric EEG study tested the hypothesis that presence of epsilon4 affects sources of resting EEG rhythms in both M...
متن کاملThe Brain’s Alpha Rhythms and the Mind
It is well known that the alpha rhythm is the most common component of the brain's electrical activity, the electroencephalogram (EEG), which can be recorded in a healthy awake adult human. This, it seems, is the only fact about alpha rhythm that we can be sure about. Is alpha activity a single alpha rhythm (as is classically described), or are there many oscillations at alpha frequencies in th...
متن کاملBrain-wide slowing of spontaneous alpha rhythms in mild cognitive impairment
The neurophysiological changes associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) include an increase in low frequency activity, as measured with electroencephalography or magnetoencephalography (MEG). A relevant property of spectral measures is the alpha peak, which corresponds to the dominant alpha rhythm. Here we studied the spatial distribution of MEG resting state...
