This study compared magnetoencephalographic (MEG) imaging-derived indices of auditory and somatosensory cortical processing in children aged 8-12 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; N = 18), those with sensory processing dysfunction (SPD; N = 13) who do not meet ASD criteria, and typically developing control (TDC; N = 19) participants. The magnitude of responses to both auditory and tacti...

Excitatory responses recorded from vertebrate olfactory sensory neurons are characterized by long latencies compared with those from other sensory receptors. Explanations which assume free access of the stimuli to receptor molecules presumably located on the olfactory cilia necessarily imply an intrinsic delay in the transduction mechanism. In contrast, the possibility of restricted or delayed ...

The lateral intraparietal area (area LIP) contains a multimodal representation of extra-personal space. To further examine this representation, we trained rhesus monkeys on the predictive-cueing task. During this task, monkeys shifted their gaze to a visual target whose location was predicted by the location of an auditory or visual cue. We found that, when the sensory cue was at the same locat...

Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) has recently been applied as a rehabilitation approach for patients with motor disorders, such as stroke. In these closed-loop applications, a brain switch detects the motor intention from brain signals, e.g., scalp EEG, and triggers a neuroprosthetic device, either to deliver sensory feedback or to mimic real movements, thus re-establishing the compromised sens...

INTRODUCTION The second lumbrical-interossei latency difference test (2LINT) is used frequently for electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). A premotor potential observed with 2LINT has been identified as a median-nerve sensory nerve action potential. We evaluated the utility of the premotor potential latency analysis (i.e., premotor potential study; PPS) for CTS electrodiagnosis. ME...

Influence of subcortical inhibition on barrel cortex receptive fields. By the time neural responses driven by vibrissa stimuli reach the barrel cortex, they have undergone significant spatial and temporal transformations within subcortical relays. A major regulator of these transformations is thought to be subcortical GABA-mediated inhibition, but the actual degree of this influence is unknown....

Abstract Based on sensory conflict theory, motion sickness is strongly related to the information processing capacity or resources of brain cope with multi-sensory stimuli experienced by watching virtual reality (VR) content. The purpose this research was develop a method measuring using heart-evoked potential (HEP) phenomenon and propose new indicators for evaluating sickness. Twenty-eight und...

Several methods for obtaining radial nerve sensory responses have been compared. A technique for antidromic latency measurement over a fixed distance most consistently produced responses which were easy to obtain, reliable and well tolerated by the subjects.
