high spin states in the neutron rich nucleus 191os has been populated for the first time using the82se+192os deep-inelastic reaction at 460 mev beam energy using the alpi accelerators at the laboratorynazionali di legnaro, italy. high fold γ-γ coincidences were acquired with the 4π spectrometer gaspdetector array, consisting of 40 compton-suppressed, large-volume germanium detectors with an inn...

objective: to obtain abnormalities in quantitative electroencephalography qeeg) and to observe connectivity between electrodes in children with asperger disorder. method: in this study, spectrogram criteria and coherence values are used as a tool for evaluating qeeg in 15 children with asperger disorder (10 boys and 5 girls aged between 6 to 11 years old) and in 11 control children boys and 4 g...

Neuronal gamma-band (30-100 Hz) synchronization subserves fundamental functions in neuronal processing. However, different experimental approaches differ widely in their success in finding gamma-band activity. We aimed at linking animal and human studies of gamma-band activity and at preparing optimized methods for an in-depth investigation of the mechanisms and functions of gamma-band activity...

Introduction: In most BCI articles which aim to separate movement imaginations, µ and &beta frequency bands have been used. In this paper, the effect of presence and absence of &gamma band on performance improvement is discussed since movement imaginations affect &gamma frequency band as well. Methods: In this study we used data set 2a from BCI Competition IV. In this data set, 9 healthy sub...

Background: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, inexpensive and safe analgesic technique used for relieving acute and chronic pain. However, despite all these advantages, there has been very little research into the therapeutic effects of TENS on brain activity. To the best of our knowledge, there is no evidence on the effect of high frequency TENS on the gamma ...

When a sensory stimulus repeats, neuronal firing rate and functional MRI blood oxygen level-dependent responses typically decline, yet perception and behavioral performance either stay constant or improve. An additional aspect of neuronal activity is neuronal synchronization, which can enhance the impact of neurons onto their postsynaptic targets independent of neuronal firing rates. We show th...

Background: Muscle fatigue has been known to influence brain activity, but very little is known about how cortical centers respond to muscle fatigue.Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of muscle contraction and fatigue induced by two different percents of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) on Electroencephalography (EEG) signals.Material and Methods: In t...

The gamma-band response is thought to represent a key neural signature of information processing in the human brain. These brain signals have been associated with a variety of sensory modalities (vision, sensation, and audition) and also following basic motor responses, yet the functional significance of the motor gamma-band response remains unclear. We used the Multi-Source Interference Task (...

Gamma-band synchronization is abundant in nervous systems. Typically, the strength or precision of gamma-band synchronization is studied. However, the precise phase with which individual neurons are synchronized to the gamma-band rhythm might have interesting consequences for their impact on further processing and for spike timing-dependent plasticity. Therefore, we investigated whether the spi...
