Reliability of cortical activity during natural stimulation.
Response reliability is complementary to more conventional measurements of response amplitudes, and can reveal phenomena that response amplitudes do not. Here we review studies that measured reliability of cortical activity within or between human subjects in response to naturalistic stimulation (e.g. free viewing of movies). Despite the seemingly uncontrolled nature of the task, some of these ...
متن کاملfMRI studies of visual cortical activity during noise stimulation
Psychophysics experiments on the human visual system have established that the sensitivity for the detection of "ne detail in noise contaminated images can be quantitatively and repeatably measured using stochastic resonance as a tool. Optimal noise results in maximal sensitivity. Does this mean simply that the retina is averaging out the noise, or instead is the visual cortex involved in some ...
متن کاملModulation of cortical oscillatory activity during transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can transiently modulate cortical excitability, with a net effect depending on the stimulation frequency (< or =1 Hz inhibition vs. > or =5 Hz facilitation, at least for the motor cortex). This possibility has generated interest in experiments aiming to improve deficits in clinical settings, as well as deficits in the cognitive domain. The aim of the pres...
متن کاملIntersubject synchronization of cortical activity during natural vision.
To what extent do all brains work alike during natural conditions? We explored this question by letting five subjects freely view half an hour of a popular movie while undergoing functional brain imaging. Applying an unbiased analysis in which spatiotemporal activity patterns in one brain were used to "model" activity in another brain, we found a striking level of voxel-by-voxel synchronization...
متن کاملBaroreceptor stimulation alters cortical activity.
The arterial baroreceptors constitute an essential sensory link for the short-term regulation of blood pressure and may also influence higher cortical function. The present study was undertaken to evaluate previous reports of such a cortical influence under conditions of psychologically controlled, mechanical baroreceptor stimulation. This control was achieved by use of PRES (phase-related exte...
