The thought translation device trains locked-in patients to self regulate slow cortical potentials (SCP's) of their electroencephalogram (EEG). After operant learning SCP control, select letters, words or pictograms in a computerized language support program. Results five respirated, locked-in-patients are described, demonstrating the usefulness as an alternative communication channel motivated totally paralyzed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The article reviews the current knowledge regarding altered states of consciousness (ASC) (a) occurring spontaneously, (b) evoked by physical and physiological stimulation, (c) induced psychological means, (d) caused diseases. emphasis is laid on neurobiological approaches. phenomenological analysis multiple ASC resulted in 4 dimensions which they can be characterized: activation, awareness span, self-awareness, sensory dynamics. neurophysiological approach revealed that different are mainly...
Using brain–computer interfaces (BCI) humans can select letters or other targets on a computer screen without any muscular involvement. An intensively investigated kind of BCI is based the recording visual event‐related brain potentials (ERP). However, some severely paralyzed patients who need for communication have impaired vision lack control gaze movement, thus making depending input no longer feasible. In an effort to render ERP–BCI usable this group patients, was adapted auditory...
Summary: Purpose: To compare self‐regulation of low‐frequency EEG components (slow cortical potentials, SCPs) with other methods seizure control for patients drug‐refractory partial epilepsy and to separate the real anticonvulsive effect from placebo effects. Methods: Results a treatment program SCP (experimental group) are compared two groups patients, one which learned self‐control respiratory parameters (end‐tidal CO 2 respiration rate: RES group); received medication new drugs (AEDs) in...
Background One of the core symptoms borderline personality disorder (BPD) is instability in interpersonal relationships. This might be related to existent differences mindreading between BPD patients and healthy individuals. Methods We examined behavioural neurophysiological (fMRI) responses controls (HC) during performance 'Reading Mind Eyes' test (RMET). Results Mental state discrimination was significantly better faster for affective eye gazes than HC. At level, this manifested a stronger...
Abstract The affective state of a speaker can be identified from the prosody his or her speech. Voice quality is most important prosodic cue for emotion recognition short verbal utterances and nonverbal exclamations, latter conveying pure emotion, void all semantic meaning. We adopted two context violation paradigms—oddball priming—to study event‐related brain potentials (ERP) reflecting this process. found negative wave, N300, in ERPs to contextually incongruous interpreted component as...
Recent publications show that using imagery instructions, brain activation patterns indicating consciousness can be found in approximately 10% of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS; previously called vegetative state). It is possible, however, who cannot follow instructions (because limited memory/attention capacities, for example) are nevertheless conscious and retain emotional abilities to feel pain pleasure. The aim this study was assess residual affective a specific...
