Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition exhibiting impairments in behaviour, social and communication skills. These deficits may arise from aberrant functional connections that impact synchronization effective neural communication. Neurofeedback training (NFT), based on operant conditioning of the electroencephalogram (EEG), has shown promise addressing abnormalities structural connectivity. We tested efficacy NFT reducing symptoms children with ASD by targeting to...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used for over twenty years to modulate cortical (particularly motor corticospinal) excitability both during (online) and outlasting (offline) the stimulation, with former effects associated latter. However, tDCS are highly variable, partially because intensity is commonly not adjusted individually (in contrast transcranial magnetic TMS). In Experiment 1, we therefore explored an empirical approach of personalizing primary cortex (M1)...
Phase-dependent plasticity has been proposed as a neurobiological mechanism by which oscillatory phase-amplitude cross-frequency coupling mediates memory process in the brain. Mimicking this mechanism, real-time EEG phase-triggered transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) successfully induced LTP-like changes corticospinal excitability human motor cortex. Here we asked whether afferent alone, if repetitively applied to peaks, troughs, or random phases of sensorimotor mu-alpha rhythm, would be...
The capacity to externally control transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) devices is becoming increasingly important in brain research. Here we introduce MAGIC (MAGnetic stimulator Interface Controller), an open-source MATLAB toolbox for controlling Magstim and MagVenture stimulators. includes a series of functions which allow the user arm/disarm stimulator, send triggers, change settings such as amplitude, interpulse intervals, frequency, receive setting information via serial port...
