Modulation of Visually Induced Self-motion Illusions by α Transcranial Electric Stimulation over the Superior Parietal Cortex

Sylvain Jean-François Harquel

The growing popularity of virtual reality systems has led to a renewed interest in understanding the neurophysiological correlates of the illusion of self-motion (vection), a phenomenon that can be both intentionally induced or avoided in such systems, dep ...

How are cells instructed to form somite boundaries by the zebrafish segmentation clock?

Olivier François Venzin

In vertebrate embryos, the elongating body axis is patterned via the sequential and rhyth-mic production of segments from a posterior unsegmented tissue called the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). This process is controlled by a population of cellular oscillator ...

Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation to restore mobility after spinal cord injury

Carmina Andrea Galvez Solano

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects almost 500,000 people every year, causing complete paralysis of both legs in severe cases, with no current treatment perspective. However, new neuroengineering technologies, such as the Brain Spine Interface (BSI), have eme ...

When shared concept cells support associations: Theory of overlapping memory engrams

Wulfram Gerstner, Tilo Schwalger, Emanuela De Falco, Chiara Gastaldi

Assemblies of neurons, called concepts cells, encode acquired concepts in human Medial Temporal Lobe. Those concept cells that are shared between two assemblies have been hypothesized to encode associations between concepts. Here we test this hypothesis in ...

A guideline for linking brain wave findings to the various aspects of discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Lukas Vogelsang, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Brain waves, determined by electrical and magnetic brain recordings (e.g., EEG and MEG), and fluctuating behavioral responses, determined by response time or accuracy measures, are frequently taken to support discrete perception. For example, it has been p ...

Gel-Free Wearable Electroencephalography (EEG) with Soft Graphene Textiles

Ata Jedari Golparvar

Attaching rigid wearables to ones skin may be socially challenging to be accustomed since their wearers may feel vulnerable with compromising their privacy, especially if the device is for tracking neurological or medical conditions. The development of fle ...

EEG rhythms in long-lasting spatio-temporal feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Pre-stimulus brain activity is thought to modulate visual perception. However, the nature of this modulation remains debated. In particular, the use of paradigms with very brief and weak stimuli complicates a univocal understanding. Here we focus on phenom ...

Motor state transitions and Breathing in Brain Machine Interfaces

Bastien Orset

Brain-Machine interfaces aim to create a direct neural link between user's brain and machines. This goal has pushed scientists to investigate a large spectrum of applications in the realm of assistive and rehabilitation technologies. However, despite great ...

Predicting task performance from biomarkers of mental fatigue in global brain activity

Mahsa Shoaran

Objective. Detection and early prediction of mental fatigue (i.e. shifts in vigilance), could be used to adapt neuromodulation strategies to effectively treat patients suffering from brain injury and other indications with prominent chronic mental fatigue. ...

Connectivity Measures Differentiate Cortical and Subcortical Sub-Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Silvestro Micera

Brain lesions caused by cerebral ischemia lead to network disturbances in both hemispheres, causing a subsequent reorganization of functional connectivity both locally and remotely with respect to the injury. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) meth ...

Prefrontal High Gamma in ECoG Tags Periodicity of Musical Rhythms in Perception and Imagination

Steffen Alexander Herff

Rhythmic auditory stimuli are known to elicit matching activity patterns in neural populations. Furthermore, recent research has established the particular importance of high-gamma brain activity in auditory processing by showing its involvement in auditor ...

Decoding of grasping tasks from intraneural recordings in trans-radial amputee

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini

Objective. A major challenge in neuroprosthetics is the restoration of sensory-motor hand functions in upper-limb amputees. Neuroprostheses based on the direct re-connection of the peripheral nerves may be an interesting approach for re-establishing the na ...

The functional role of beta‐oscillations in the supplementary motor area during reaching and grasping after stroke: A question of structural damage to the corticospinal tract

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Hand motor function is often severely affected in stroke patients. Non-satisfying recovery limits reintegration into normal daily life. Understanding stroke-related network changes and identifying common principles that might underlie recovered motor funct ...

Neurofeedback training with a low-priced EEG device leads to faster alpha enhancement but shows no effect on cognitive performance: A single-blind, sham-feedback study

Andreas Sonderegger, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues

Introduction Findings of recent studies indicate that it is possible to enhance cognitive capacities of healthy individuals by means of individual upper alpha neurofeedback training (NFT). Although these results are promising, most of this research was con ...

Building the Arrow of Time ... Over Time: A Sequence of Brain Activity Mapping Imagined Events in Time and Space

Baptiste Gauthier

When moving, the spatiotemporal unfolding of events is bound to our physical trajectory, and time and space become entangled in episodic memory. When imagining past or future events, or being in different geographical locations, the temporal and spatial di ...

Novice Shooters With Lower Pre-shooting Alpha Power Have Better Performance During Competition in a Virtual Reality Scenario

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira

Competition changes the environment for athletes. The difficulty of training for such stressful events can lead to the well-known effect of “choking” under pressure, which prevents athletes from performing at their best level. To study the effect of compet ...
