Automatic Classification of Artifactual ICA-Components for Artifact Removal in EEG Signals

Irene Winkler, Stefan Haufe, Michael Tangermann · 1 Jan 2011

BACKGROUND: Artifacts contained in EEG recordings hamper both, the visual interpretation by experts as well as the algorithmic processing and analysis (e.g. for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) or for Mental State Monitoring). While hand-optimized selection of source components derived from Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to clean EEG data is widespread, the field could greatly profit from…

Dopamine signals for reward value and risk: basic and recent data

Wolfram Schultz · 1 Jan 2010

BACKGROUND: Previous lesion, electrical self-stimulation and drug addiction studies suggest that the midbrain dopamine systems are parts of the reward system of the brain. This review provides an updated overview about the basic signals of dopamine neurons to environmental stimuli. METHODS: The described experiments used standard behavioral and neurophysiological methods to record the activity of…

Gender differences in mathematics anxiety and the relation to mathematics performance while controlling for test anxiety

Amy Devine, Kayleigh Fawcett, Dénes Szűcs et al. · 9 Jul 2012

BACKGROUND: Mathematics anxiety (MA), a state of discomfort associated with performing mathematical tasks, is thought to affect a notable proportion of the school age population. Some research has indicated that MA negatively affects mathematics performance and that girls may report higher levels of MA than boys. On the other hand some research has indicated that…

The face-specific N170 component is modulated by emotional facial expression

Vera C. Blau, Urs Maurer, Nim Tottenham et al. · 23 Jan 2007

BACKGROUND: According to the traditional two-stage model of face processing, the face-specific N170 event-related potential (ERP) is linked to structural encoding of face stimuli, whereas later ERP components are thought to reflect processing of facial affect. This view has recently been challenged by reports of N170 modulations by emotional facial expression. This study examines the…

Cognitive development in children with chronic protein energy malnutrition

Bhoomika R. Kar, Shobini L. Rao, Balasubramanian Chandramouli · 1 Jan 2008

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is associated with both structural and functional pathology of the brain. A wide range of cognitive deficits has been reported in malnourished children. Effect of chronic protein energy malnutrition (PEM) causing stunting and wasting in children could also affect the ongoing development of higher cognitive processes during childhood (>5 years of age). The…
