Movement-related potentials (MRP), a component of the electroencephalogram (EEG) generated during voluntary movements, are known to vary during adaptation to changing loads and to different load types. This study attempts to reveal these changes. A novel denoising algorithm based on iterative approximation was applied to the MRPs recorded from four subjects while performing simple movements against changing loads. The results show that when subjects perform a repetitive task under a constant load there appears a significant peak in the activity of several MRP components recorded over the prefrontal cortex during the third and fourth repetition of the task. Furthermore, different types of loads do not affect the shape of the MRP but different force intensities do. 相似文献

A mesoscopic field-theoretic approach is compared with neural network and brain imaging approaches to understanding brain dynamics. Analysis of high spatiotemporal resolution rabbit electroencephalogram (EEG) reveals neural fields in the form of spatial patterns in amplitude (AM) and phase (PM) modulation of gamma and beta carrier waves that serve to classify EEGs from trials with differing conditioned stimuli (CS+/−). Paleocortex exemplified by olfactory EEG has one AM–PM pattern at a time that forms by an input-dependent phase transition. Neocortex shows multiple overlapping AM–PM patterns before and during presentation of CSs. Modeling suggests that neocortex is stabilized in a scale-free state of self-organized criticality, enabling cooperative domains to form virtually instantaneously by phase transitions ranging in size from a few hypercolumns to an entire hemisphere. Self-organized local domains precede formation of global domains that supervene and contribute global modulations to local domains. This mechanism is proposed to explain Gestalt formation in perception. 相似文献

The cortical potential changes associated with unilateral voluntary self-paced hand movements were detected over the surface of the scalp by the summation method of EEG activity in 20 young subjects. A typical complex wave form of average movement potential (AMP): N1, P1, N2, P2, were discerned in all subjects in our records. This paper presents the results of the topographical distribution of the second potential of the AMP (Premotion Positivity, P1) and the last potential of the AMP (Positive Postmovement onset Potential, P2). Our results indicate a bilateral symmetrical presence of both positive components precentrally and parietally. They also indicate that both these potentials are bilaterally large posterior to the rolandic fissure, and laterality effects in amplitudes occurred only in the second positive wave parietally during right-hand responses in right handers. 相似文献

Vasopressin and electrophysiological signs of attention in man 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seventeen pairs of monozygotic twins, females and males, were tested in a dichotic listening task, containing several types of pips: standard and deviating target pips, which the subject either attended to, or not. Averaged auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) to the pips provided measures of different attentional processes. Furthermore, EEG power spectra, heart rate and blood pressure and behavioral performance were measured. Subjects received treatments (20 I.U. lysine-vasopressin vs. placebo) intranasally 48, 24, and 1 hour prior to the experimental sessions according to a co-twin control design. Whereas measures of voluntary selective attention remained unchanged by lysine-vasopressin (LVP) the peptide primarily affected an attentional mechanism responding in an automatic fashion to stimulus deviance. This effect was indicated by a substantial negative shift of the AEP amplitudes following deviating stimuli within the latency range of the N2/P2 components (about 200 msec post-stimulus). The effect seemed to be unrelated to modulations of cortical arousal after LVP. 相似文献

Familial and twin studies have shown that the individual variability of the normal human electroencephalogram (EEG) is largely genetically determined. In epileptology, these genetic parameters of the EEG background activity are almost totally neglected. The aim of the present study has been to investigate whether a special genetic type of background activity might be related to the pathogenesis of epilepsy. EEG recordings of parents of 257 epileptic children were evaluated retrospectively. Some 156 healthy adults served as controls. Special attention was paid to alpha activity extending to the frontal region, both in bipolar and in referential recordings (Alpha I). Alpha I was found significantly more often in parents of children with primary generalized epilepsy (18%) compared with parents of children with focal epilepsy (8%) or controls (9%). In a second step, parental EEGs of children with different EEG patterns associated with epilepsy were studied. Alpha I was found significantly more often in parents of children with focal sharp waves and generalized spikes and waves (26%) than in parents of probands with focal sharp waves without additional generalized spikes and waves (8%) or in controls (9%). Parents of probands with theta rhythms and spikes and waves had alpha I significantly more often (18%) than parents of probands with theta rhythms without additional spikes and waves (8%) or controls (9%). The findings reveal a clear correlation between the type of EEG background activity in parents and the EEG characteristics in their children, thus pointing to common mechanisms. 相似文献

Effect of cold stimulation of the arm fingers on the spectral/coherent EEG characteristics in humans

Examination of modifications of EEG in humans induced by cold stimulation of the arm fingers showed that the EEG frequency
composition noticeably depended on this thermal influence (in the relaxed state with no movements or during realization of
voluntary cyclic movements by the fingers of another arm). In the resting state, cold stimulation mostly induced intensification
of the delta activity, while, when coinciding with the performance of voluntary movements, it also resulted in increases in
the powers of oscillations of the alpha1 and beta1 ranges. The structure of changes in the coefficients of coherence under
the influence of cooling also depended on the conditions of testing (in the resting state or during motor activity). Therefore,
the effect of tonic cold stimulation on the interaction between synchronizing and desynchronizing cerebral systems and interrelations
between different cortical zones was modified under conditions of realization of a motor function.

We studied the effects of mental reproduction of emotions on the EEG characteristics in 10- to 11-year-old children. Independently
of the sign of emotions, their reproduction was related to a rise in the modal alpha frequency and to a decrease in the spectral
power of the EEG alpha1 subcomponent. Increases in the power of the beta-rhythm and in the ratio between the beta rhythm power
and that of the theta rhythm were more manifested upon mental reproduction of positive emotions. 相似文献

The sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) is characterized by typical oscillatory patterns such as sleep spindles and slow waves. Recently, we proposed a method to detect and analyze these patterns using linear autoregressive models for short (≈?1 s) data segments. We analyzed the temporal organization of sleep spindles and discuss to what extent the observed interevent intervals correspond to properties of stationary stochastic processes and whether additional slow processes, such as slow oscillations, have to be assumed. We have found evidence for such an additional slow process, most pronounced in sleep stage 2. 相似文献

We live in a dynamic and changing environment, which necessitates that we adapt to and efficiently respond to changes of stimulus form (‘what’) and stimulus occurrence (‘when’). Consequently, behaviour is optimal when we can anticipate both the ‘what’ and ‘when’ dimensions of a stimulus. For example, to perceive a temporally expected stimulus, a listener needs to establish a fairly precise internal representation of its external temporal structure, a function ascribed to classical sensorimotor areas such as the cerebellum. Here we investigated how patients with cerebellar lesions and healthy matched controls exploit temporal regularity during auditory deviance processing. We expected modulations of the N2b and P3b components of the event-related potential in response to deviant tones, and also a stronger P3b response when deviant tones are embedded in temporally regular compared to irregular tone sequences. We further tested to what degree structural damage to the cerebellar temporal processing system affects the N2b and P3b responses associated with voluntary attention to change detection and the predictive adaptation of a mental model of the environment, respectively. Results revealed that healthy controls and cerebellar patients display an increased N2b response to deviant tones independent of temporal context. However, while healthy controls showed the expected enhanced P3b response to deviant tones in temporally regular sequences, the P3b response in cerebellar patients was significantly smaller in these sequences. The current data provide evidence that structural damage to the cerebellum affects the predictive adaptation to the temporal structure of events and the updating of a mental model of the environment under voluntary attention. 相似文献

The autoregressive (AR) model is a widely used tool in electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis. The dependence of the AR model on both the segment length and several characteristic EEG patterns is addressed. The best AR model order is computed with three different criteria. The results show that the Rissanen criteria provides the more consistent order estimate for the EEG patterns considered. This study shows that for our data set, a 5th order AR model represents adequately 1- or 2-s EEG segments with the exception of featureless background, where higher order models are necessary. 相似文献

Slow waves constitute the main signature of sleep in the electroencephalogram (EEG). They reflect alternating periods of neuronal hyperpolarization and depolarization in cortical networks. While recent findings have demonstrated their functional role in shaping and strengthening neuronal networks, a large-scale characterization of these two processes remains elusive in the human brain. In this study, by using simultaneous scalp EEG and intracranial recordings in 10 epileptic subjects, we examined the dynamics of hyperpolarization and depolarization waves over a large extent of the human cortex. We report that both hyperpolarization and depolarization processes can occur with two different characteristic time durations which are consistent across all subjects. For both hyperpolarization and depolarization waves, their average speed over the cortex was estimated to be approximately 1 m/s. Finally, we characterized their propagation pathways by studying the preferential trajectories between most involved intracranial contacts. For both waves, although single events could begin in almost all investigated sites across the entire cortex, we found that the majority of the preferential starting locations were located in frontal regions of the brain while they had a tendency to end in posterior and temporal regions. 相似文献

Heat induced fatigue and changes of the EEG is not related to reduced perfusion of the brain during prolonged exercise in humans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
(1) Exercise-induced hyperthermia is associated with a gradual slowing of the electroencephalogram (EEG), an increase in perceived exertion (RPE) and a lowering of the cerebral perfusion.
(2) During exercise EEG changes were linearly correlated to core temperature (r2=0.67; P<0.05) and RPE (r2 =0.54, P<0.05), but manipulation of cerebral perfusion by voluntary breathing efforts and by CO2 inhalation did not alter RPE or EEG.
(3) In conclusion EEG changes with hyperthermic exercise are not a simple effect of the reduced cerebral perfusion but may relate to the fatigue that arises concomitantly with the increases in core and brain temperatures. 相似文献

In a single-case study, the effects of very long-lasting physical exercise, namely a 24-h-long ultramarathon, on the human
electroencephalogram (EEG) were evaluated. While only effects of relatively short exercise have been reported earlier, we
focused on the changes induced by these long-lasting physical requires. EEG was recorded repeatedly using an auditory oddball
paradigm, and event-related potentials (ERPs), as well as changes in the current oscillatory brain activity (in particular,
event-related desynchronization, ERD), were repeatedly monitored. While an increase in several attention-related ERP parameters
was reported for shorter exercises, the results of our study show that cognitive performance-related EEG phenomena slowly
decreased throughout the race. The P300 amplitude decreased, and the P300 latency increased with ongoing exercise duration.
In addition, the difference between standard and target tones at N200b, as well as the difference in the lower alpha ERD,
decreased with time, indicating a reduced automatic stimulus evaluation.

It has been demonstrated in the rodent hippocampus that rhythmic slow activity (theta) predominantly occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, while sharp waves and associated ripples occur mainly during non-REM sleep. However, evidence is lacking for correlates of sleep stages with electroencephalogram (EEG) in the hippocampus of monkeys. In the present study, we recorded hippocampal EEG from the dentate gyrus in monkeys overnight under conditions of polysomnographical monitoring. As result, the hippocampal EEG changed in a manner similar to that of the surface EEG: during wakefulness, the hippocampal EEG showed fast, desynchronized waves, which were partly replaced with slower waves of intermediate amplitudes during the shallow stages of non-REM sleep. During the deep stages of non-REM sleep, continuous, slower oscillations (0.5–8 Hz) with high amplitudes were predominant. During REM sleep, the hippocampal EEG again showed fast, desynchronized waves similar to those found during wakefulness. These results indicate that in the monkey, hippocampal rhythmic slow activity rarely occurs during REM sleep, which is in clear contrast to that of rodents. In addition, the increase in the slower oscillations of hippocampal EEG during non-REM sleep, which resembled that of the surface EEG, may at least partly reflect cortical inputs to the dentate gyrus during this behavioral state. 相似文献

An electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in 19 standard derivations in two groups of subjects (student actors and nonactors) during emotionally positive and negative mental recalls of personal experiences (test 1) or mental reproduction of scenic situations (test 2), as well as during mental count of time. Statistical comparison of EEG spectral power estimations in the frequency bands , , 1, 2, 1, and 2 showed that the induction of emotionally positive and emotionally negative states led to statistically significant changes in the EEG absolute power (local synchronization) simultaneously in many derivations and frequency bands. Analysis of all possible comparisons and changes in frequency bands showed that bilateral prefrontal and temporal cortical areas are most active during the internal induction of emotional states. Emotionally positive states were characterized, predominantly, by higher local EEG power than emotionally negative states. The EEG power changes accompanying internal induction of emotionally negative and positive states were of the same order in the case of reproduction of a presented situation (scenic material), whereas, in the case of recall of personal experience, emotionally negative states were accompanied by substantially weaker EEG spectral changes than emotionally positive states. The internal induction of emotional states on the basis of scenic material was accompanied by a pronounced increase in the power of the EEG range over the whole cortical surface. EEG reactions to induction of emotional states were generally stronger in actors than in nonactors. In case of emotional induction on the basis of scenic material, qualitative differences in the EEG reactions were also revealed between the groups. The findings are discussed in comparison with known data of investigations into regional cerebral blood flow during internal emotional induction and EEG studies of internal and external emotional induction. 相似文献

How are numerical operations implemented within the human brain? It has been suggested that there are at least three different codes for representing number: a verbal code that is used to manipulate number words and perform mental numerical operations (e.g., multiplication), a visual code that is used to decode frequently used visual number forms (e.g., Arabic digits), and an abstract analog code that may be used to represent numerical quantities. Furthermore, each of these codes is associated with a different neural substrate. We extend these studies using dense-sensor event-related EEG recording techniques to investigate the temporal pattern of notation-specific effects observed in a parity judgement (odd versus even) task in which single numbers were presented in one of four different numerical notations. Contrasts between different notations demonstrated clear modulations in the visual evoked potentials (VEP) recorded. We observed increased amplitudes for the P1 and N1 components of the VEP that were specific to Arabic numerals and to dot configurations but differed for random and recognizable (die-face) dot configurations. These results demonstrate clear, notation-specific differences in the time course of numerical information processing and provide electrophysiological support for the triple-code model of numerical representation. 相似文献

Epilepsy is characterized by paradoxical patterns of neural activity. They may cause different types of electroencephalogram (EEG), which dynamically change in shape and frequency content during the temporal evolution of seizure. It is generally assumed that these epileptic patterns may originate in a network of strongly interconnected neurons, when excitation dominates over inhibition. The aim of this work is to use a neural network composed of 50 x 50 integrate-and-fire neurons to analyse which parameter alterations, at the level of synapse topology, may induce network instability and epileptic-like discharges, and to study the corresponding spatio-temporal characteristics of electrical activity in the network. We assume that a small group of central neurons is stimulated by a depolarizing current (epileptic focus) and that neurons are connected via a Mexican-hat topology of synapses. A signal representative of cortical EEG (ECoG) is simulated by summing the membrane potential changes of all neurons. A sensitivity analysis on the parameters describing the synapse topology shows that an increase in the strength and in spatial extension of excitatory vs. inhibitory synapses may cause the occurrence of travelling waves, which propagate along the network. These propagating waves may cause EEG patterns with different shape and frequency, depending on the particular parameter set used during the simulations. The resulting model EEG signals include irregular rhythms with large amplitude and a wide frequency content, low-amplitude high-frequency rapid discharges, isolated or repeated bursts, and low-frequency quasi-sinusoidal patterns. A slow progressive temporal variation in a single parameter may cause the transition from one pattern to another, thus generating a highly non-stationary signal which resembles that observed during ECoG measurements. These results may help to elucidate the mechanisms at the basis of some epileptic discharges, and to relate rapid changes in EEG patterns with the underlying alterations at the network level. 相似文献

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-receptors play a crucial role in the generation of electroencephalogram (EEG) oscillations and evoked potentials (ERPs). The present association study was designed to test whether EEG and ERPs are modulated by genetic variations of the human GABAA beta2 (GABRB2) and gamma2 (GABRG2) genes on chromosome 5q33. The genotypes of two nucleotide substitution polymorphisms of the GABRB2 and GABRG2 genes were assessed in 95 psychiatrically healthy subjects of German descent. Neurophysiological phenotyping was performed with four factorized EEG/ERP parameters: EEG activation, anterior and posterior EEG synchronization, and event-related activity (N100/ P200-complex). No genotypic association was found for the GABRB2 nucleotide exchange polymorphism with any electrophysiological parameter. A significant association was found between the genotype of the intronic GABRG2 G-->A nucleotide exchange and the event-related N100/P200 (ANOVA: F=3.81; df=2; P=0.026). A comparison of homozygous subjects carrying either the G/G or A/A genotype of the GABRG2 polymorphism consistently revealed an even stronger difference in the effect-size (ANOVA: F=11.13; df=1; P=0.002). Post hoc analysis of this association with current density analysis in three-dimensional neuroanatomic Talairach space-time showed a reduction in the event-related signal power after 120 ms in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Taking into account the risk of false-positive association findings attributable to multiple testing, our results encourage further replication studies to examine the phenotype-genotype relationship of GABRG2 gene variants and event-related prefrontal activity. 相似文献
