The digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) service is a new standard for delivering live broadcasting television to handheld terminals and it utilizes UHF bands IV and V (470-862 MHz). However, since the upper limit of the DVB-H frequency band is within a measurable distance of the lower limit of the GSM 900 frequency band, the upper limit will probably be restricted to channel 49 (698 MHz...

The state of a neural assembly in the human brain preceding an incoming stimulus is assumed to modulate the processing of subsequently presented stimuli. The nature of this state can differ with respect to the frequency of ongoing oscillatory activity. Oscillatory activity of specific frequency range such as alpha (8-12 Hz) and gamma (30-45 Hz) band oscillations is hypothesized to play a functi...

Oscillatory alpha-band activity (8-15 Hz) over parieto-occipital cortex in humans plays an important role in suppression of processing for inputs at to-be-ignored regions of space, with increased alpha-band power observed over cortex contralateral to locations expected to contain distractors. It is unclear whether similar processes operate during deployment of spatial attention in other sensory...

A compact dual-band dual-polarized antenna is proposed in this paper. The two pair dipoles with strong end coupling are used for the lower frequency band, and cross-placed patch dipoles are used for the upper frequency band. The ends of the dipoles for lower frequency band are bent to increase the coupling between adjacent dipoles, which can benefit the compactness and bandwidth of the antenna....

PURPOSE Low-grade glioma (LGG) patients often have cognitive deficits. Several disease- and treatment related factors affect cognitive processing. Cognitive outcome of resective surgery is unpredictable, both for improvement and deterioration, especially for complex domains such as attention and executive functioning. MEG analysis of resting-state networks (RSNs) is a good candidate for presurg...

The present study was based on earlier findings that the observation of a coherently moving long bar induced gamma-band activity in humans. The power in the EEG-gamma-band was reduced during the presentation of two incoherently moving short bars. The present study demonstrates the replicability of this cortical activity pattern and illustrates intersubjective variability in its topography. In a...

A frontoparietal network has long been implicated in top-down control of attention. Recent studies have suggested that this network might communicate through coherence in the alpha band. Here we aimed to test the effect of coherent alpha (8-12 Hz) stimulation on the frontoparietal network. To this end, we recorded behavioral performance and electroencephalography (EEG) data while participants w...

Memory consists of various individual processes which form a dynamic system co-ordinated by central (executive) functions. The episodic buffer as direct interface between episodic long-term memory (LTM) and working memory (WM) is fairly well studied but such direct interaction is less clear in semantic LTM. Here, we designed a verbal delayed-match-to-sample task specifically to differentiate be...

OBJECTIVE Temporo-parietal cortex thinning is associated to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer disease (AD). The increase of EEG upper/low alpha power ratio has been associated with AD-converter MCI subjects. We investigated the association of alpha3/alpha2 ratio with patterns of cortical thickness in MCI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-four adult subjects with MCI underwent clin...
