The song nucleus high vocal center (HVC) sends neural signals for song production and receives auditory input. By using electroencephalography (EEG) to objectively identify wake/sleep state, we show that HVC auditory responses change with physiological states. Comparison of EEG and HVC records revealed that HVC response to auditory stimuli is greatest during slow-wave sleep. During slow-wave sl...

This prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled study compared outcomes in chronic, refractory major depressive disorder (MDD) with and without physicians’ prescribing medications guided by electroencephalography-based medication outcome prediction. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in pretreatment vs. treatment Hamilton Depression Scale and Beck Depressi...

Cumulative evidence of potential benefits of electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials in the management of patients with acute cerebral damage has been confirmed. Continuous EEG monitoring is the best method for detecting nonconvulsive seizures and is strongly recommended for the treatment of status epilepticus. Continuously displayed, validated quantitative EEG may facilitate early d...

Recent electrophysiological studies support command-specific changes in the electroencephalography (EEG) that have promoted their intensive application in the noninvasive brain computer interfaces (BCI). However, EEG is plagued by a variety of interferences and noises, thereby demanding better accuracy and stability for its application in the neuroprosthetic devices. Here we investigate wavelet...

Timing is essential for proper brain functioning. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are at present the only noninvasive human brain imaging tools that provide submillisecond temporal accuracy and thus help to unravel dynamics of cortical function. The advantage of MEG over EEG is that skull and scalp, which affect the electric potential distributions, do not smear th...

Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used in clinical applications and basic research. Dry EEG opened the application area to new fields like self-application during gaming neurofeedback. While recording, signals are always affected by artefacts. Manual detection of bad channels gold standard both gel-based dry but timeconsuming. We propose a simple robust method for automatic channe...
