Visual analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) background and reactivity during therapeutic hypothermia provides important outcome information, but is time-consuming and not always consistent between reviewers. Automated EEG analysis may help quantify the brain damage. Forty-six comatose patients in therapeutic hypothermia, after cardiac arrest, were included in the study. EEG background was q...

THIP (Gaboxadol) is a selective GABA A agonist, acting in vitro with high potency and efficacy at the extrasynaptic GABA A containing receptors. THIP was suggested to be a potential hypnotic to treat insomnia and it is currently in clinical trial. Here we assessed whether the GABA A -containing receptors mediate in vivo the effect of THIP on sleep and the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG). We...

The nausea-related Electroencephalogram (EEG) dynamics corresponding to motion sickness inclining tasks is studied in this thesis with the virtual-reality based dynamic driving environment. The VR-based dynamic driving environment provides the advantages of safety, low cost, and the realistic stimuli to the subjects. The Motion Sickness Questionnaire (MSQ) is designed and the physiological resp...

1. Simultaneous recordings of the EEG and the visual activity of cat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) relay cells were analysed for covariance. Sliding time-window analyses were performed in parallel for the EEG power spectrum and single unit visual activity. The EEG power ratio (EEG-PR) of low (1-8 Hz) to high (20-40 Hz) frequencies was chosen to achieve a quantitative measure of the E...

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most common tool used in sleep research. This unit describes the methods for recording and analyzing the EEG. Detailed protocols describe recorder calibration, electrode application, EEG recording, and computer EEG analysis with power spectral analysis. Computer digitization of an analog EEG signal is discussed, along with EEG filtering and the parameters o...

AIMS To investigate the changes in the electroencephalographic (EEG) spectrum in smokers during exposure to a neutral and a smoking-related cue to determine whether these EEG changes are still present in ex-smokers after prolonged abstinence and to examine the relationship between the power in each spectral bandwidth and subjective craving. METHODS EEG frequencies in response to a smoking-rel...

BACKGROUND The current study examines the EEG spectra of actively drinking, treatment-naive alcoholics (TxNAs). METHODS EEGs were gathered on 51 TxNAs and age- and sex-matched controls during closed-eyes conditions. Participants were excluded for lifetime diagnoses of psychiatric or substance abuse disorders. Power for the theta to high beta bands was examined across midline electrodes. RES...

introduction: foot insoles are widely recommended to prevent running related to injuries. however, their effects on the frequency of ground reaction force(grf) is still unclear. the purpose of this study was to elemental test the effect of four shoe insoles on frequency of grf during stance phase of running. materials and methods: 15 female students (mean age22±1/85 year, height162±4/71cm and w...

introduction: bipolar spectrum disorders include a variety of mood disorders from bipolar ii disorder to conditions characterized by hyperthymic mood states. it has been suggested that psychosocial factors also play an important role in bipolar disorders, in this study we have used social network analysis in order to better understand the social positions of those affected by bipolar spectrum d...

Recently, emotion classification from EEG data has attracted much attention with the rapid development of dry electrode techniques, machine learning algorithms, and various real-world applications of brain– computer interface for normal people. Until now, however, researchers had little understanding of the details of relationship between different emotional states and various EEG features. To ...
