Systemic AAV6 delivery mediating RNA interference against SOD1: neuromuscular transduction does not alter disease progression in fALS mice

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder arising from the selective death of motor neurons. Approximately 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are caused by toxic gain-of-function mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) ...

Recent Advances in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Ulrich Hoffmann

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication system that translates brain activity into commands for a computer or other devices. In other words, a BCI allows users to act on their environment by using only brain activity, without using peripheral n ...

Non-Invasive Estimates of Local Field Potentials for Brain-Computer Interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Pierre Ferrez

Recent experiments have shown the possibility to use the brain electrical activity to directly control the movement of robots or prosthetic devices in real time. Such neuroprostheses can be invasive or non-invasive, depending on how the brain signals are r ...

Person Authentication using Brainwaves (EEG) and Maximum A Posteriori Model Adaptation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Sébastien Marcel

In this paper, we investigate the use of brain activity for person authentication. It has been shown in previous studies that the brain-wave pattern of every individual is unique and that the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used for biometric identificat ...

Direct validation of in vivo localized 13C MRS measurements of brain glycogen

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

With the use of localized 13C MRS in conjunction with [1-(13)C]-D-glucose infusion, it is possible to study brain glycogen metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to validate in vivo 13C MRS measurements by comparing them with results from a stan ...

Assessing cooperative behavior in dynamical networks with applications to brain data

Cristian Carmeli

Capturing the collective coherent spatiotemporal activity from measured data in large ensembles of coupled nonlinear sub-systems has revealed to be a key topic in many areas of applied sciences. Currently, this topic is addressed by considering multivariat ...

Surfing the Brain—An Overview of Wavelet-Based Techniques for fMRI Data Analysis

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu

The measurement of brain activity in a noninvasive way is an essential element in modern neurosciences. Modalities such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recently gained interest, but two classical techniques remain predomina ...

Very High Frequency Oscillations (VHFO) as a Predictor of Movement Intentions

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

Gamma band (30-80 Hz) oscillations arising in neuronal ensembles are thought to be a crucial component of the neural code. Recent studies in animals suggest a similar functional role for very high frequency oscillations (VHFO) in the range 80-200Hz. Since ...

Removing Ocular Artifacts from EEG Signals Using Adaptive Filtering and ARMAX Modeling

Gelareh Mohammadi

EEG signal is one of the oldest measures of brain activity that has been used vastly for clinical diagnoses and biomedical researches. However, EEG signals are highly contaminated with various artifacts, both from the subject and from equipment interferenc ...
