A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Brain Dynamics, a New Feature for Sleep and Seizure State Discrimination

The human brain is a complex and dynamic physiological system that can be considered as a network of reciprocally interconnected systems localized in different brain regions. To fully characterize the brain's complex dynamics, it is essential to investigat ...

On the Spatial Distribution of Temporal Complexity in Resting State and Task Functional MRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Enrico Amico, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois, Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

Measuring the temporal complexity of functional MRI (fMRI) time series is one approach to assess how brain activity changes over time. In fact, hemodynamic response of the brain is known to exhibit critical behaviour at the edge between order and disorder. ...

Temporal complexity of fMRI is reproducible and correlates with higher order cognition

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

It has been hypothesized that resting state networks (RSNs), extracted from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI), likely display unique temporal complexity fingerprints, quantified by their multiscale entropy patterns (McDonough and ...

Automatic detection of generalized paroxysmal fast activity in interictal EEG using time-frequency analysis

Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

Objective: Markup of generalized interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) on EEG is an important step in the diagnosis and characterization of epilepsy. However, manual EEG markup is a time-consuming, subjective, and the specialized task where the human r ...

Effective connectivity in brain networks estimated using EEG signals is altered in children with ADHD

Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

This study presents a methodology developed for estimating effective connectivity in brain networks (BNs) using multichannel scalp EEG recordings. The methodology uses transfer entropy as an information transfer measure to detect pair-wise directed informa ...

An EEG-based methodology for the estimation of functional brain connectivity networks: Application to the analysis of newborn EEG seizure

Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

This study presents a new methodology for obtaining functional brain networks (FBNs) using multichannel scalp EEG recordings. The developed methodology extracts pair-wise phase synchrony between EEG electrodes to obtain FBNs at delta, theta, and alpha-band ...
