Tactile processing in human somatosensory and auditory cortices
Tactile sensation plays an important role in everyday life. While the somatosensory system has been studied extensively, the majority of information has come from studies using animal models. Recent development of high-resolution anatomical and functional imaging techniques has enabled the non-invasive study of human somatosensory cortex and thalamus. This thesis provides new insights into the ...
متن کاملCombined MEG and fMRI model
An integrated model for magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is proposed. In the proposed model, MEG and fMRI outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. Post synaptic potentials (PSPs) and action potentials (APs) are two main signals generated by neural activities. In the model, both of MEG and fMRI are related to t...

Background. This study is an attempt to combine and compare EEG, MEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) methods to map the somatotopic organization of primary somatosensory cortex. Methods. 32-channel EEG and 143-channel MEG recordings were acquired from two subjects during tactile stimulation of the fingertips. In addition, FMRI activation maps were produced during fingertip vibr...
متن کاملMapping human somatosensory cortex in individual subjects with 7T functional MRI.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is now routinely used to map the topographic organization of human visual cortex. Mapping the detailed topography of somatosensory cortex, however, has proven to be more difficult. Here we used the increased blood-oxygen-level-dependent contrast-to-noise ratio at ultra-high field (7 Tesla) to measure the topographic representation of the digits in hu...
متن کاملAn integrative MEG-fMRI study of the primary somatosensory cortex using cross-modal correspondence analysis.
We develop a novel approach of cross-modal correspondence analysis (CMCA) to address whether brain activities observed in magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) represent a common neuronal subpopulation, and if so, which frequency band obtained by MEG best fits the common brain areas. Fourteen adults were investigated by whole-head MEG using a single equiv...
