Customizing the human-avatar mapping based on EEG error related potentials during avatar-based interaction

Ronan Boulic, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Bruno Herbelin, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Olaf Blanke, Fumiaki Iwane, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Objective. A key challenge of virtual reality (VR) applications is to maintain a reliable human-avatar mapping. Users may lose the sense of controlling (sense of agency), owning (sense of body ownership), or being located (sense of self-location) inside th ...

Variability is the rule: Neurophysiology and contextual visual processing in schizophrenia

Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez

Traditionally, studies in schizophrenia research employ a single experimental paradigm. The results typically demonstrate a significant difference between patients and controls. Subsequent studies aim to describe the underlying abnormal mechanism at the ge ...

Unveiling the complexity of learning and decision-making

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Reinforcement learning (RL) is crucial for learning to adapt to new environments. In RL, the prediction error is an important component that compares the expected and actual rewards. Dopamine plays a critical role in encoding these prediction errors. In my ...

DELMEP: a deep learning algorithm for automated annotation of motor evoked potential latencies

Nima Taherinejad, Claudia Bigoni, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The analysis of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) generated by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is crucial in research and clinical medical practice. MEPs are characterized by their latency and the treatment of a single patient may require the characte ...

Inferring individual evaluation criteria for reaching trajectories with obstacle avoidance from EEG signals

Aude Billard, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Fumiaki Iwane

During reaching actions, the human central nerve system (CNS) generates the trajectories that optimize effort and time. When there is an obstacle in the path, we make sure that our arm passes the obstacle with a sufficient margin. This comfort margin varie ...

Spectral representation of EEG data using learned graphs with application to motor imagery decoding

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Hamid Behjat, Maliheh Miri

Electroencephalography (EEG) data entail a complex spatiotemporal structure that reflects ongoing organi-zation of brain activity. Characterization of the spatial patterns is an indispensable step in numerous EEG processing pipelines. We present a novel me ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary initiation of mental imagery

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Hyeongdong Park

Previous research has suggested that bodily signals from internal organs are associated with diverse cortical and subcortical processes involved in sensory-motor functions, beyond homeostatic reflexes. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that the pre ...

Segmenting electroencephalography wires reduces radiofrequency shielding artifacts in simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging at 7 T

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê, Özlem Ipek

Purpose: Simultaneous scalp electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) enable noninvasive assessment of brain function with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, at ultra-high field, the data quality of both modali ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...

Interpreting deep learning models for epileptic seizure detection on EEG signals

David Atienza Alonso, Leila Cammoun, Valentin Alexandre Guy Gabeff, Marina Zapater Sancho, Tomas Teijeiro Campo

While Deep Learning (DL) is often considered the state-of-the art for Artificial Intelligence-based medical decision support, it remains sparsely implemented in clinical practice and poorly trusted by clinicians due to insufficient interpretability of neur ...

Automatic detection of generalized paroxysmal fast activity in interictal EEG using time-frequency analysis

Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

Objective: Markup of generalized interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) on EEG is an important step in the diagnosis and characterization of epilepsy. However, manual EEG markup is a time-consuming, subjective, and the specialized task where the human r ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Patricia Figueiredo, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Spatial covariance improves BCI performance for late ERPs components with high temporal variability

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Marija Uscumlic, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Ruslan Aydarkhanov

Objective. Event Related Potentials (ERPs) reflecting cognitive response to external stimuli, are widely used in brain computer interfaces. ERP waveforms are characterized by a series of components of particular latency and amplitude. The classical ERP dec ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary action and the cortical readiness potential

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Coline Barnoud, Hyeongdong Park, Henri Dan Trang

Voluntary action is a fundamental element of self-consciousness. The readiness potential (RP), a slow drift of neural activity preceding self-initiated movement, has been suggested to reflect neural processes underlying the preparation of voluntary action; ...
