ABSTRACT Trials on which highly discrepant, auditory ‘oddball’ stimuli were presented sorted into two bins the basis of prestimulus alpha band RMS magnitude. The trial then separately averaged to produce a ‘high alpha’ ERP (event‐related potential) and ‘low for each subject. Study 1 found that larger amplitude P300s obtained in ERP. No effect was N100. 2 employed extra factors stimulus intensity change (increases decreases) measurement period (before after stimulus). It P300 enhancement...
The effect of hypnotizability on verbal reaction times and event-related potentials during performance a Stroop color-naming task was studied. stimuli (colored words) were randomly presented to 5 high low hypnotizable subjects in the right left peripheral visual fields both waking state hypnotic induction conditions. Unlike studies which foveally subjects, highly did not show prolonged either or There marked deterioration accuracy, however, for hypnosis. Event-related indicated that showed...
Abstract The objective of this study was to correlate computer-generated imagery tasks and a self-report measure ability with hypnotizability, hypothesizing that would be better predictors hypnotizability than will the measure. Hypnotizability 43 subjects assessed using Hypnotic Induction Profile Stanford Susceptibility Scale, Form C. Imagery by Visual Vividness Questionnaire (VVIQ) measuring generate, maintain, transform images. Although there no correlation between VVIQ less hypnotizable...
To analyze optimal placement of recording-needle electrodes surrounding the eye and lip for facial nerve monitoring by identifying maximum compound muscle action potential (CMAP) recorded electrode pairs different spatial configurations.Prospective clinical trial.Ambulatory surgery at a tertiary care center.Thirty adults undergoing chronic ear such as tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, ossicular chain reconstruction, stapedectomy, cochlear implantation.Facial monitoring.Suprathreshold (threshold...
Twenty-two highly hypnotizable subjects were run in a visual target detection task which compared hypnotic obstruction of the left and right fields over separate blocks. The event-related potentials (ERPs) to non-target stimuli revealed that reduced P200 component hemifield, but did not affect for stimulation hemifield. earlier P100 N100 also as preferentially either while P300 was significantly changed. Right field/left hemisphere reduction predicted suppression behavioral response (button...
There is evidence that the facilitating effects of stimulus repetition (repetition or identity priming) are mediated by visuoperceptual functions local to extrastriate cortex. Semantic verbal-associative priming, on other hand, believed be a function more anterior brain systems. The present study finds for disrupted semantic priming with intact in cognitively impaired HIV+ sample. These results consistent recent brain-imaging subcortical and white-matter locus HIV associated neuropathology...
ABSTRACTThe use of cervical facet spacers has shown favorable clinical results in the treatment spondylotic disease; however, there are limited data regarding neurological complications associated with procedure. This case report demonstrates specificity multi-myotomal motor evoked potentials (MEPs) detecting acute postoperative C5 palsy following placement spacers. A posterior fusion decompression and instrumentation involving DTRAX (Providence Medical Technology; Lafayette, CA) was used to...
