Development of the Experimental Design for the Validation of EEG Source Localization with fMRI: Application of a Haptic Robot to Identify Active Neuronal Ensembles

Various source localization algorithms exist to perform localization with High Density (HD)-ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG). However, validation of these EEG source localization algorithms is lacking. The current gold standard for source localization in the brain is functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) by calculating the difference in...

Source localization of auditory steady state responses to monaural and binaural beats

Background: When two acoustic sinusoids of slightly different frequencies are presented in the same ear, the listener perceives a beating sound with a rate the difference frequency between the two sinusoids. In the dichotic presentation of two acoustic sinusoids with slightly different frequencies, separately at the two ears, the listener...

Separating individual finger activity when performing force tasks using EEG source localization methods

Electroencephalography (EEG) source localization has been applied in the development of braincomputer interfaces to control hand prostheses. When performing fine movements, our brain uses sensory feedback regarding position, velocity, and force to improve performance. Understanding the cortical mechanisms underlying individual finger movements...

Neural Dynamics based on EEG and diffusion MRI: Potential in studying stroke

After stroke, functional recovery may be promoted during the first six months through rehabilitation. Several events are thought to lead to regaining lost functions, among which the remapping of affected limbs to other regions of the cortex is a frequent occurrence. High spatial resolution brain imaging techniques, like magnetic resonance...
