OBJECTIVE We examined whether the method of event-related (de-)synchronization (ERD/ERS) revealed differential effects of selective attention and working memory load in children (8-11 years) with pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS Fifteen healthy controls and three equally large groups of children wi...

Brains were built by evolution to react swiftly to environmental challenges. Thus, sensory stimuli must be processed ad hoc, i.e., independent--to a large extent--from the momentary brain state incidentally prevailing during stimulus occurrence. Accordingly, computational neuroscience strives to model the robust processing of stimuli in the presence of dynamical cortical states. A pivotal featu...

Since 1934 Erd} os has introduced various methods to derive arithmetic properties of blocks of consecutive integers. This research culminated in 1975 when Erd} os and Selfridge ES] established the old conjecture that the product of two or more consecutive positive integers is never a perfect power. It is very likely that the product of the terms of a nite arithmetic progression of length at lea...

When actively classifying abstract patterns according to their regularity, alpha desynchronization (ERD) becomes right lateralized over posterior brain areas. This could reflect temporary enhancement of contralateral visual inputs and specifically a shift of attention to the left, or right hemisphere specialization for regularity discrimination. This study tested these competing hypotheses. Twe...

We prove several extensions of the Erd˝ os-Fuchs theorem.

Abstract The development of energy recovery device (ERD) is a decisive factor for the recent prevalence reverse osmosis (RO) technology in seawater desalination field. Unlike broadly studied large scale ERDs, investigations small ERDs are scarcely reported, especially on performance fluctuations under variable operating conditions. Based an authors’ exploratory research piston type integrated h...

We investigated the oscillatory neural correlates of auditory lexical processing in healthy adults. Synthetic aperture magnetometry was used to characterize the timing of event-related desynchronization (ERD)/event-related synchronization (ERS) in superior temporal gyri following low-frequency and high-frequency words in contrast to nonwords. ERS and ERD responses were found with both word and ...

Cisplatin (CP) is a widly used anticancer drug against abroad spectrum of malignance, but at high dose, it can produce undesirable effects such as hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of erdosteine (Erd) against CP-induced biochemical, histopathological changes and hepatotoxicity associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory changes in male...

A new MAC protocol for route discovery in multiple-ring network, called the ERD-protocol, has been presented in Part I. The present paper introduces some extensions of this protocol. The first extension indicates how the ERD-protocol can support multicast source routing, where a station seeks routes to multiple destinations. The ERD-protocol supplies the source with a description of a collectio...

Objective: The aim of this study was to test how the presence of central neuropathic pain (CNP) influences the performance of a motor imagery based Brain Computer Interface (BCI). Methods: In this electroencephalography (EEG) based study, we tested BCI classification accuracy and analysed event related desynchronisation (ERD) in 3 groups of volunteers during imagined movements of their arms and...
