epilepsy is an important disease with a cumulative incidence of 3% all over the life and more than half of them are started from childhood. in this study we surveyed magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings in epileptic children and its relation with clinical and demographic findings in order to find better diagnostic and treatment modalities for these children in the future. in this cross sec...

background: this paper proposes a new emotional stress assessment system using multi-modal bio-signals. electroencephalogram (eeg) is the reflection of brain activity and is widely used in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. methods: we design an efficient acquisition protocol to acquire the eeg signals in five channels (fp1, fp2, t3, t4 and pz) and peripheral signals such as blood volu...

Background: Epilepsy is considered as one of the most important disorders in neurology. Temporal lobe epilepsy is a form of epilepsy including two main types of mesial and lateral (neocortex). Objectives: Determination and comparison of electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern in the ictal and interictal phases of mesial and lateral temporal lobe epilepsy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectiona...

We wished to assess the frequency of EEG positivity with our available EEG technology to compare with those elsewhere. Between April 1996 to February 1997, of patients referred to the Pediatric Neurology Out-patient Clinic for assessment of seizure disorders, 202 randomly selected patients aged 16 months to 17 years (mean 8.96 years) underwent a 10-minute inter-ictal EEG recording using a ...

The right and left hand Motor Imagery (MI) analysis based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal can directly link the central nervous system to a computer or a device. This study aims to identify a set of robust and nonlinear effective brain connectivity features quantified by transfer entropy (TE) to characterize the relationship between brain regions from EEG signals and create a hierarchi...

Introduction: Music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. An important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. In this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. Methods: We used EEG recording in nine sub...
