چکیده

We observed an anomaly in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) associated with exposure to terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) Radiofrequency Fields (RF). Here, we characterize the time and frequency components of the anomaly and demonstrate that it is an artefact caused by TETRA RF interfering with the EEG recording equipment and not by any direct or indirect effect on the brain.

A Multi-proposal Mobile Eeg System

Abstract: A multi-proposal mobile system for electroencephalography recording is here presented, which is based on a previous modification of a consumer EEG equipment, with the intention to be used for BCI proposes. Still, for test purposes, a reference displacement was done to compare the data with its original position. To validate this equipment, SSVEP and ERD/ERS trials analysis were done, ...

The effect of EEG recording on functional MR image quality

Introduction The recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) inside the MR scanner has gained increasing interest, particularly in the field of functional MRl (fMRI) [ 1,2]. EEG recording during fMRI can impair the image quality due to magnetic susceptibility of the EEG electrode assemblies and electromagnetic noise from the EEGrecording equipment. We therefore investigated (1) local signal drop ou...
