The temporal structure of macroscopic brain activity displays both oscillatory and scale-free dynamics. While the functional relevance of neural oscillations has been largely investigated, both the nature and the role of scale-free... more
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has funded innovative scientific research and technology developments in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) since the 1970s. This review highlights some of DARPA's major... more
In experiments involving small animals, the electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded during severe injury and accompanying resuscitation exhibit the strong presence of electrocardiogram (ECG). For improved quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis, it... more
Neuronavigation provides visual guidance of an instrument during procedures of neurological interventions, and has been shown to be a valuable tool for accurately positioning transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils relative to an... more
In the present study, a novel emotional complexity marker is proposed for classification of discrete emotions induced by affective video film clips. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to full-band specific phase space... more
Social anxiety (SA) has as its main feature the fear of social situations, being characterized as social phobia or social anxiety disorder when functional impairment emerges as a result of that fear. Although the recognition of the... more
Despite the variety of effective connectivity measures, few methods can quantify direct nonlinear causal couplings and most of them are not applicable to high-dimensional datasets. In this paper, a novel approach (called βmRMR-MLP-GC) is... more
The present study shows new findings that reveal the high association between emotional arousal and neuro-functional brain connectivity measures. For this purpose, contrasting discrete emotional states (happiness vs sadness, amusement vs... more
The modalities examined in previous simultaneity judgment (SJ) were limited to vision, audition, and touch. By contrast, olfaction and gustation have not been addressed to date in SJ. In this study, we constructed a measurement system for... more
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has funded innovative scientific research and technology developments in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) since the 1970s. This review highlights some of DARPA's major... more
Although scalp potential distributions do not uniquely determine the location and configuration of neural generators, they are important because they provide the necessary conditions that any hypothesized sources must satisfy and suggest... more
The 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion is the most widely used rat model of Parkinson's disease. A single unilateral injection of 6-OHDA into the median forebrain bundle (MFB) selectively destroys dopamine neurons in the... more
A touchscreen interface permits rich user interactions for research in many fields, but is rarely found within a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment due to difficulties adapting conventional technologies to the strong... more
