This paper focuses on the variation of EEG at different emotional states. We use pure music segments as stimuli to evoke the exciting or relaxing emotions of subjects. EEG power spectrum is adopted to form features, power spectrum, differential asymmetry, and rational asymmetry. A linear dynamic system approach is applied to smooth the feature sequence. Minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance algo...

Introduction: Opiates cause dependency via affect on central nervous system. Locus coeruleus nucleus is a main group of noradrenergic neurons in the brain that plays an important role in the expression of opioid withdrawal signs. During opioid withdrawal, brain waves change in addition to physical and behavioral signs. In this study, we examined the effects of locus coeruleus electrical sti...

In the present work, a new method for the integration of simultaneously recorded EEG and fMRI data in epilepsy is presented. Independent component analysis (ICA) is performed on EEG data, five metrics are applied upon each component spectrum, and a general linear model for each time course is fit to the fMRI data. The proposed methodology was applied to data collected from one patient, systemat...

Electrical activity of each brain region is homeostatically regulated, resulting in predictable frequency composition of the background EEG. Replicated normative databases have established that the EEG power spectrum is independent of ethnic background. Artifact-free EEG evaluated relative to such norms displays few deviant values in healthy, normally functioning individuals. In subjects with p...

Bipolar disorder is characterized by a hypersensitivity to reward-relevant cues and a propensity to experience an excessive increase in approach-related affect, which may be reflected in hypo/manic symptoms. The present study examined the relationship between relative left-frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, a proposed neurophysiological index of approach-system sensitivity and appr...

AIMS AND METHODS In order to elucidate the neural mechanisms of delirium, we administered the anticholinergic drug, biperiden (40 mg/kg i.p.), to 10 adult male Wistar rats and examined the resulting polygraphic recordings, including electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), and electromyography (EMG), for 60 min following injection. EEG data were investigated quantitatively by pow...

Thirteen subjects detected noise burst targets presented in a white noise background at a mean rate of 10/min. Within each session, local error rate, defined as the fraction of targets detected in a 33 sec moving window, fluctuated widely. Mean coherence between slow mean variations in EEG power and in local error rate was computed for each EEG frequency and performance cycle length, and was sh...

The tammar wallaby joey is born extremely immature and most of its neurological development occurs in the maternal pouch. It is not known at what in-pouch age functions such as conscious sensory perception commence. We determined the electroencephalographic (EEG) responses to noxious stimulation in lightly anaesthetized tammar wallaby joeys. Baseline median (F50) and spectral edge (F95) frequen...

The coherence analysis is based on spectral analysis, which describe the synchronization of electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms between brain areas. Coherence analysis is a noninvasive technique for studying functional relationships between brain regions. The coherence analysis is a kind of study based on spectrum analysis, which can describe the coordination of the brain electric activities of ...

Permutation entropy (PeEn) is a complexity measure that originated from dynamical systems theory. Specifically engineered to be robustly applicable to real-world data, the quantity has since been utilised for a multitude of time series analysis tasks. In electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, value changes of PeEn correlate with clinical observations, among them the onset of epileptic seizures or...
