(eds.), Brain-Computer Interface Research, SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-09979-8_6 Abstract We present a radically new way of recording EEG comfortably and unobtrusively over long time-periods in natural environments. This break-through has been achieved using electrodes embedded on a customized earpiece as typi...

in recent decades, seizure prediction caused a lot of research in both signal processing and neuroscience field. the researches tried to enhance the conventional seizure prediction algorithms such that rate of the false alarms be appropriately small so that seizures can be predicted according to clinical standards. up to now none of the proposed algorithms have been sufficiently adequate. in th...

introduction increase in alpha band is observed when blood perfusion in frontal area of head decreases. the present study evaluated some changes in the alpha band particularly, alpha-1 of frontal and central areas of the head, when several areas were exposed simultaneously to magnetic field. materials and methods five points of head (f3, f4, cz, t3, and t4) of twenty healthy male participants w...

objectives: autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a group of neurodevelopment syndromes with impairments in social communications and restrictive or repetitive behaviors. neurofeedback is a new method that may regulate neuro and metabolic function in brain. this study is semi-experimental, with pre and post test.  methods: in 26 children with asd, 40 sessions of neurofeedback were done. brain waves...

objective: the present study was carried out to examine the efficacy of psychoneurotherapy (pnt) on reducing symptoms severity in treatment-naïve patients with obsessive-compulsive washing. this study evaluated a new form of psychotherapy based on neurobiological model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd).  methods: the study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research. the statistical pop...

introduction: music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. an important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. in this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. methods: we used eeg recording in nine subjects...

introduction: ciprofloxacin which was used in this study is a fluoroquinolone (fq). this kind of drug may cause epileptic seizures probably because of the inhibition of gaba binding to its receptors. wag/rij rats (an animal model for generalized absence epilepsy), were used as experimental subjects. methods: for eeg study, electrodes were inserted into the cortex of animals according to paxinos...
