Research Background Neural oscillations are fundamental components of brain function, coordinating electrophysiological activities within and between neural assemblies, which is crucial for cognitive and behavioral processes. During children’s growth, the development of these neural processes is not only an important neuroscience issue but also can...
Somatosensory Evoked Spikes in Normal Adults Detected by Magnetoencephalography Research Background and Motivation Since 1949, clinical neurophysiology research has discovered that high-voltage cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) can be detected in patients with reflex epilepsy, where seizures are triggered by somatosensory stimulation ...
The Spatiotemporal Hierarchical Structure of the Brain in Auditory Memory Recognition and Predictive Coding Background This study aims to explore the hierarchical brain mechanisms involved in human identification of previously memorized music sequences and their systematic changes. While extensive research has been conducted on neural processing of...
Background and Research Questions Working memory and post-task responses (PTRs) in the brain have been a focal point in neuroscience research. Previous studies have shown that post-movement beta rebound (PMBR) is a reliable and stable phenomenon in the cerebral cortex that can be studied and measured using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Recent resea...
Four-Channel Optically Pumped Magnetometer for MEG Sensor Arrays Background Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) operating in the Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) regime are highly sensitive magnetic field sensors, with sensitivities as low as 0.16 ft/√Hz and 0.54 ft/√Hz. OPMs are based on the interaction between spin-polarized atoms and magne...
Human Sensorimotor Resting State β Events and Aperiodic Activity Exhibit Good Test-Retest Reliability Background Neurological diseases are some of the most impactful diseases on daily human life, particularly those affecting sensory and motor functions, such as Parkinson’s disease. Early diagnosis of these diseases is often exceedingly difficult du...
Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Somatosensory Cortex Network in Typically Developing Children Research Background Touch plays a crucial role in our interaction with external objects and the fine control of hand movements. Despite substantial research on the mechanisms of sensory information processing in human skin, it remains unclear how brain re...
Measurement of Human Auditory Evoked Fields Using a Flexible Multichannel Optically Pumped Magnetometer MEG System Xin Zhang and others, from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Jihua Laboratory in Foshan, Guangdong Province, and Guoke Medic...
Expanding the Clinical Application of OPM-MEG: An Effective Method for Automatically Suppressing Metal Artifacts from Dental Braces Background Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique that uses multi-channel magnetic field measurement sensors to reconstruct the neural current distribution and functional networks of the brain. Compared to electro...
Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...
