In this paper, we propose a technique that uses genetic algorithm (GA) with Fuzzy ARTMAP (FA) classifier to identify the discriminatory subset of the feature set for classification of alcoholics and non-alcoholics using brain rhythm extracted during visual stimulus. In the experimental study, the feature set consists of seven spectral power ratios extracted from 61 visual evoked potential (VEP)...

introduction: temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) is the most common and drug resistant epilepsy in adults. due to behavioral, morphologic and electrographic similarities, pilocarpine model of epilepsy best resembles tle. this study was aimed at determination of the changes in electroencephalogram (eeg) sub-bands amplitude during focal seizures in the pilocarpine model of epilepsy. analysis of these c...

Simultaneous resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI)-resting state electroencephalography (rsEEG) studies in healthy adults showed robust positive associations of signal power in the alpha band with BOLD signal in the thalamus, and more heterogeneous associations in cortical default mode network (DMN) regions. Negative associations were found in occipital regions. In Alzhei...

The basal ganglia may play an important role in the control of motor scaling or effort. Recently local field potential (LFP) recordings from patients with deep brain stimulation electrodes in the basal ganglia have suggested that local increases in the synchronisation of neurons in the gamma frequency band may correlate with force or effort. Whether this feature uniquely codes for effort and wh...

The ultra high frequency (UHF) band spectrum will likely be congested in near future since the next generation wireless as well as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system users will witness the use of UHF band technology with increased demand of bandwidth, bit rate, frequency spectrum and power consumption. The alternate solution is the use of millimeter-wave band technology. It is possibl...

We aimed to test whether the evaluation of the cardio-respiratory interaction using the analysis of heart rate and blood pressure variabilities and respiratory maneuvers can reveal cardiovagal dysfunction in obese adolescents 12-18 years old. The spectral power in high frequency band of the heart rate variability (HRV) reflecting respiratory sinus arrhythmia was used as an index of the cardiac ...

Introduction: Paranormal beliefs are defined as believing in extrasensory perception, precognition, witchcraft, and telekinesis, magical thinking, psychokinesis, superstitions. Previous studies corroborate that executive brain functions underpin paranormal beliefs. To test causal hypotheses, neurophysiological studies of brain activity are required. Method: A sample of 20 students (10 females,...
