Advances in neural electrode technology are enabling brain recordings with increasingly fine spatial and temporal resolution. We explore spatio-temporal (ST) patterns of local field potential spikes using a new high-density active electrode array with 500 μm resolution. We record subdural micro-electrocorticographic (μECoG) signals in vivo from a feline model of acute neocortical epileptiform spikes...
The early detection of epileptic seizures requires computing relevant statistics from multivariate data and defining a robust decision strategy as a function of these statistics that accurately detects the transition from the normal to the peri-ictal (problematic) state. We model the afflicted brain as a hidden Markov model (HMM) with two hidden clinical states (normal and peri-ictal). The output...
High resolution mapping of electrical activity is becoming an important technique for analysing normal and dysrhythmic gastrointestinal (GI) slow wave activity. Several methods are used to extract meaningful information from the large quantities of data obtained, however, at present these methods can only be used offline. Thus, all analysis currently performed is retrospective and done after the recordings...
Currently there is no efficient treatment for patients with severe bilateral vestibular function impairment. Presence of oscillopsia is their main complaint. It has a significant negative impact on their quality of life. Recently it has been shown that angular vestibulo-ocular reflex can be partially restored in animals. In humans it is possible to elicit a nystagmic response by electric stimulation...
A single cuff electrode with multiple-contacts permits fibre selective recording from peripheral nerves. This has been demonstrated in frog nerve in vitro and earth worm before. In this paper we apply this method successfully to the peripheral median nerve of pig in vivo. Compound action potentials (CAPs) were electrically excited at the median nerve close to the wrist of the forelimb. The CAPs were...
The aim of this study was to investigate, if it is possible to detect brain activity related to motor planning and suppression with the help of Electroencephalograms (EEG), the ultimate goal being, to simultaneously measure EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Towards this end we engaged a delayed response task from an earlier fMRI study, thereby ensuring, as a first step, that the...
In this paper the replacement of a lost learning function of rats through a computer-based real-time recording and feedback system is shown. In an experiment two recording electrodes and one stimulation electrode were implanted in an anesthetized rat. During a classical-conditioning paradigm, which includes tone and airpuff stimulation, biosignals were recorded and the stimulation events detected...
