Classification of ADHD patients on the basis of independent ERP components using a machine learning system
In the context of sensory and cognitive-processing deficits in ADHD patients, there is considerable evidence of altered event related potentials (ERP). Most of the studies, however, were done on ADHD children....

Gender differences in brain areas involved in silent counting by means of fMRI
Pattern of brain asymmetries varies with handedness, gender, age, and with variety of genetic and social factors. Large-scale neuroimaging analyses can optimize the detection of asymmetric features and confirm...

Patterns of cortical activity during the observation of Public Service Announcements and commercial advertisings
In the present research we were interested to study the cerebral activity of a group of healthy subjects during the observation a documentary intermingled by a series of TV advertisements. In particular, we de...

Cortical potential imaging using L-curve and GCV method to choose the regularisation parameter
The electroencephalography (EEG) is an attractive and a simple technique to measure the brain activity. It is attractive due its excellent temporal resolution and simple due to its non-invasiveness and sensor ...

Effect of noise in processing of visual information
Information transmission and processing in the nervous system has stochastic nature. Multiple factors contribute to neuronal trial-to-trial variability. Noise and variations are introduced by the processes at ...

Brain function assessment in different conscious states
The study of brain functioning is a major challenge in neuroscience fields as human brain has a dynamic and ever changing information processing. Case is worsened with conditions where brain undergoes major ch...

Transient process of cortical activity during Necker cube perception: from local clusters to global synchrony
It has been discussed that neural phase-synchrony across distant cortical areas (or global phase-synchrony) was correlated with various aspects of consciousness. The generating process of the synchrony, howeve...

A graph-theoretical approach in brain functional networks. Possible implications in EEG studies
Recently, it was realized that the functional connectivity networks estimated from actual brain-imaging technologies (MEG, fMRI and EEG) can be analyzed by means of the graph theory, that is a mathematical rep...

On consciousness, resting state fMRI, and neurodynamics
During the last years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain has been introduced as a new tool to measure consciousness, both in a clinical setting and in a basic neurocognitive research. M...

Interocular yoking in human saccades examined by mutual information analysis
Saccadic eye movements align the two eyes precisely to foveate a target. Trial-by-trial variance of eye movement is always observed within an identical experimental condition. This has often been treated as ex...

A step towards non-invasive characterization of the human frontal eye fields of individual subjects
Identifying eye movement related areas in the frontal lobe has a long history, with microstimulation in monkeys producing the most clear-cut results. For humans, however, there is still no consensus about the ...

Why bother with a COST Action? The benefits of networking in science
A COST Action is a consortium of -mainly- European scientists (but open to international cooperation) working on a common research area, with the same subject; COST provides funding to the Actions for networki...
