Topographical display and interpretation of event-related desynchronization during a visual-verbal task

Brain Topography
G Pfurtscheller, Wolfgang Klimesch

Abstract

Multichannel EEG recordings were performed during a visual-verbal judgement task with a verbal response using an event-related paradigm. EEG trials of 7 sec were first digitally band pass filtered (10-12 Hz, 10-11 Hz, 11-12 Hz), and the amplitudes were then squared and averaged over all trials. This processing method results in a time course of alpha power and allows us to quantify the event-related desynchronization (ERD) in each EEG channel and to compute series of ERD maps in intervals of 125 msec. Analyzing the 10-11 Hz band, it was possible to study the time course and topographical pattern of cortical activation during visual encoding and cognition. Analysis of the 11-12 Hz band has enabled us, for the first time, to study the time course, spatial localization and extent of activation of speech, premotor and motor areas. We found that the speech centers were activated maximally 250 to 375 msec before speech onset and the SMA about 250 msec before speech onset. The results are preliminary, but demonstrate how much information can be extracted from the scalp EEG.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
