Visual aesthetic perception (“aesthetics”) or the capacity to visually perceive a particular attribute added other features of objects, such as form, color, and movement, was fixed during human evolutionary lineage trait not shared with any great ape. Although prefrontal brain expansion is mentioned responsible for appearance trait, no current knowledge exists on role areas in perception. The visual consists “several parallel multistage processing systems, each specialized given task as,...
The capacity to appreciate beauty is one of our species' most remarkable traits. Although knowledge about its neural correlates growing, little known any gender-related differences. We have explored possible differences between men and women's aesthetic preference. used magnetoencephalography record the brain activity 10 male female participants while they decided whether or not considered examples artistic natural visual stimuli be beautiful. Our results reveal significantly different sexes...
Cognitive processes require a functional interaction between specialized multiple, local and remote brain regions. Although these interactions can be strongly altered by an acquired injury, plasticity allows network reorganization to principally responsible for recovery. The present work evaluates the impact of injury on connectivity patterns. Networks were calculated from resting-state magnetoencephalographic recordings 15 injured patients 14 healthy controls means wavelet coherence in...
<h3>Context</h3> Neuropsychological models of depression highlight temporoparietal hypofunction associated with low emotional arousal in major depressive disorder (MDD). These were derived from indirect measures such as neuropsychological tests and electroencephalography alpha band power. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine if high-arousing stimuli directly modulated activity attention arousal–related sensory brain regions patients MDD. <h3>Design</h3> Between-group comparison (patients MDD vs...
Abstract There is increasing evidence that early event‐related potentials are a result of phase alignment ongoing background oscillations the electroencephalogram rather than additive amplitude modulation. Steady state visual‐evoked (ssVEPs) can be recorded using an intensity modulated stimulus, resulting in evoked brain response at known frequency, i.e. stimulation frequency. Given this property, ssVEP ideally suited for examining relationship between single‐trial fluctuations...
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allows the real-time recording of neural activity and oscillatory in distributed networks. We applied a non-linear complexity analysis to resting-state as measured using whole-head MEG. Recordings were obtained from 20 unmedicated patients with major depressive disorder 19 matched healthy controls. Subsequently, after 6 months pharmacological treatment antidepressant mirtazapine 30 mg/day, received second MEG scan. A measure signals, Lempel–Ziv Complexity (LZC),...
Nonlinear analyses have shown that Alzheimer disease (AD) patients' brain activity is characterized by a reduced complexity and connectivity. The aim of this study to define patterns mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Whole-head magnetoencephalography recordings were obtained from 18 diagnosed AD patients, MCI healthy controls during resting conditions. Lempel-Ziv (LZC) values calculated. patients exhibited intermediary LZC scores between controls. A combination age posterior allowed...
Over three months of intensive training with a tactile stimulation device, 18 blind and 10 blindfolded seeing subjects improved in their ability to identify geometric figures by touch. Seven spontaneously reported 'visual qualia', the subjective sensation flashes light congruent stimuli. In latter evoked activation occipital cortex on electroencephalography (EEG). None who failed experience visual qualia, despite identical training, showed EEG recruitment cortex. humans visual-like...
Subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at a higher risk of experiencing Alzheimer disease (AD). Magnetoencephalographic temporoparietal dipole densities low-frequency activity good predictors individuals' status, and might be useful tool to investigate the conversion from MCI AD.To role as developing AD.Whole-head magnetoencephalographic recordings were obtained 19 probable AD patients, 17 healthy control subjects. The generators focal magnetic slow waves located using single...
Significance This cortical connectivity study shows that neuroplastic reorganization in blind children involves key multisensory integration regions. Using two complementary functional graph theory analyses, multimodal areas exhibited increased compared with matched controls; within-group analyses also demonstrated changes age. Evidence is provided the spatial expression of genes implicated neuroplasticity underlies reorganizational capabilities cortex.
The brain magnetic activity patterns in a high load probe-letter (targets and distractors) memory task were examined patients with Alzheimers's disease (AD) elderly controls. Control subjects showed higher number of sources over the temporal parietal cortex between 400 700 ms after stimulus onset. However, AD frontal motor areas, including Broca's insula. on left areas response to target stimuli predicted score oncognitive (MMSE, CAMCOG) functional staging (FAST) scales. These results...
