Objective: To study whether hemodynamic changes in human brain generate scalp-EEG responses. Methods: Direct current EEG (DC-EEG) was recorded from 12 subjects during 5 non-invasive manipulations that affect intracranial hemodynamics by different mechanisms: bilateral jugular vein compression (JVC), head-up tilt (HUT), head-down tilt (HDT), Valsalva maneuver (VM), and Mueller maneuver (MM). DC ...
