EEG Basics
- Electro-encephalo-gram (EEG): Measurement of electrical patterns on the scalp reflecting cortical activity.
- Brainwaves: Electrical activity patterns in the brain.
- Frequency Bands: EEG signals are categorized based on their frequency, impacting mental states.
EEG - Brain Rhythms & Frequency Bands
- Gamma (γ): >35 Hz, associated with problem-solving and concentration.
- Beta (β): 12-35 Hz, associated with busy, active mind, anxiety, external attention.
- Alpha (α): 8-12 Hz, associated with reflective, restful states, relaxed, passive attention
- Theta (θ): 4-8 Hz, associated with drowsiness, deeply relaxed, inward focused.
- Delta (δ): 0.5-4 Hz, associated with sleep, dreaming
Simultaneous EEG-fMRI:
- Compatibility Requirements: Maintaining image quality, mitigating artifacts (magnetic field effects, radiofrequency emissions), and preventing ferrous materials.
Simultaneous EEG-fMRI: Main Artifacts
- Gradient and Cardioballistic Artifacts: These artifacts are corrected to improve data quality.
Event-Related Potentials (ERPs)
- Definition: Neural responses associated with sensory, cognitive, or motor events.
- Recording: Averaging voltage changes after stimulus onset across multiple trials.
- Components: (e.g., P300), represent cognitive processing.
- Significance of P300: Amplitude correlates with cognitive resources demanded and stimulus relevance.
Event-related potential changes in psychiatric disorders - P300
- Schizophrenia and Chronic Bipolar Patients: Both show latency prolongation and amplitude reduction in auditory P300 responses.
Caffeine effect on P300
- Acute effect: A single dose of caffeine slightly decreases P300 amplitude and latency.
High-Frequency EEG
- EEG Ripples: 80-200 Hz oscillations related to brain processes.
- High-Frequency EEG Activity Application: Not explicitly stated in the provided documents.
Physiology, Emotions, and Brain
- Emotional impact: Emotions affect physiological responses (e.g., heart rate, breathing).
- Fear, Anger, and Anxiety: Release adrenaline, leading to increased heart rate and rapid breathing.
- Happiness: Associated with endorphin release, slower heart rate, and shallower breathing.
Happiness and fMRI
- Happy Memories Condition: Participants recall and experience happy memories to visualize and elevate brain activity.
Activation Network
- Brain Activity: Happy memories activate brain regions including the anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, and insula.
Neurofeedback (NFB)
- Mechanism: Operant conditioning of brain activity, to enhance cognitive functions or manage conditions.
- Tools: Using EEG and signal processing, the system provides real-time feedback to monitor and enhance mental state.
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
- Mechanism: Enables direct communication between the brain and external devices using thought.
- Relationship to Neurofeedback: Neurofeedback can be viewed as a specific application of BCI, but has a primary focus on self-regulation.
