The Directed Transfer Function (DTF) and the Partial Directed Coherence (PDC) are frequency-domain estimators, based on the multivariate autoregressive modelling (MVAR) of time series, that are able to describe interactions between cortical areas in terms of the concept of Granger causality. However, the classical estimation of these methods requires the stationary of the signals. In this way, transient...
In the last decade, the possibility to noninvasively estimate cortical activity has been highlighted by the application of the techniques known as high resolution EEG. These techniques include a subject's multi-compartment head model (scalp, skull, dura mater, cortex) constructed from individual magnetic resonance images, multi-dipole source model, and regularized linear inverse source estimates of...
We investigated the behaviour of the brain during the visualization of commercial videos by tracking the cortical activity and the functional connectivity changes in normal subjects. High resolution EEG recordings were performed in a group of healthy subjects, and the cortical activity during the visualization of standard commercial spots and emotional spots (no profit companies) was estimated by...
Until now, in EEG studies the activity of the brain during simple or complex tasks have been recorded in a single subject. Often, during such EEG recordings, subjects interacts with the external devices or the researchers in order to reproduce conditions similar to the those usually occurring in the real-life. However, in order to study the concurrent activity in subjects interacting in cooperation...
Eye movements and blinks may produce unusual voltage changes that propagates from the eyeball through the head as volume conductor up to the scalp electrodes, generating severe electroencephalographic artifacts. Several methods are now available to correct the distortion induced by these events on the EEG, having different advantages and drawbacks. The main focus of this work is to quantify the performance...

Over the past decade, a number of studies have evaluated the possibility that scalp-recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) activity might be the basis for a brain-computer interface (BCI), a system able to determine the intent of the user from a variety of different electrophysiological signals. With our current EEG-based communication system, users learn over a series of training sessions to use EEG...

The problem of the definition and evaluation of brain connectivity has become a central one in neuroscience during the latest years, as a way to understand the organization and interaction of cortical areas during the execution of cognitive or motor tasks. In this paper we propose the use of the DTF method on cortical signals estimated from high resolution EEG recordings. An application of the proposed...
The aim of this paper is to analyze whether the use of the cortical activity estimated from non invasive EEG recordings could be useful to detect mental states related to the imagination of limb movements. Estimation of cortical activity was performed on high resolution EEG data related to the imagination of limb movements gathered in five normal healthy subjects by using realistic head models. Cortical...
