Hardware powered ultra low latency (HarPULL) brain-state dependent TMS technology
P. 189–195.
The paper introduces a novel hardware-software complex for the low latency real time phase-dependent transcra-
nial magnetic stimulation (TMS) neurofeedback. The software with key elements implemented on the board of the EEG- recording device accurately tracks the sensorimotor rhythm phase with minimal time-delay and immediately sends the trigger to the TMS-device. An accurate phase estimation is achieved by proper Kalman filter-based state-space modeling of brain rhythm. Our experiments demonstrate the system’s viability and its almost instant reaction on the target brain event occurrence. Our results potentially make neurofeedback, cortical mapping, therapeutic TMS-interventions and other applications more reliable and efficient.

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

Motor imagery training under the control of a brain-computer interface (BCI) facilitates motor recovery after stroke. The efficacy of BCI based on electroencephalography (EEG-BCI) has been confirmed by several meta-analyses, but a more convenient and noise-resistant method of near-infrared spectroscopy in the BCI circuit (NIRS-BCI) has been practically unexamined; comparisons of the two types of ...

The advancement of novel technologies for the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients represents a significant challenge for a range of interdisciplinary fields. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical neuroimaging technique based on recording local hemodynamic changes at the cerebral cortex level. The technology is typically employed in post-stroke patients for diagnostic purposes, including the assessment of ...

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) is a type of transcranial electrical stimulation. tRNS at the primary motor cortex affects corticospinal system (CSS) excitability. We assume that applying analogous protocols at the spinal cord level could similarly influence on CSS excitability, enabling a comparison of stimulation outcomes. This research aims to scrutinize the impact of combining ...

Though the mirror neuron system (MNS) is studied in the scientific community, the influence of the body posture on the functioning of the MNS, as well as on the excitatory and inhibitory system of the brain, has not been revealed yet. In our study, we investigated the functioning of the MNS in case of head ...

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive brain stimulation effectively affects movements, including the spinal cord level. Stimulation effects are very sensitive to montage and protocols of applied stimulation because they can involve different neuronal mechanisms. AIM: This study aimed to estimate the effect of anodal transspinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) with an intensity of 2.5 mA applied at the ...

Теория когнитивного диссонанса тесно связана с исследованием процесса принятия сложных решений. Механизмы когнитивного диссонанса связывают с активностью задней медиальной и дорсолатеральной префронтальной коры, прилежащего ядра и задней поясной коры, взаимосвязь которых по-разному интерпретируют по результатам нейровизуализационных и стимуляционных исследований. Одним из ключевых вопросов понимания механизмов когнитивного диссонанса является нейрохронометрия его возникновения и редуцирования, раскрытие которой ...

Aging is associated with decreased functional connectivity in the main brain networks, which can underlie changes in cognitive and emotional processing. Neurofeedback is a promising non-pharmacological approach for the enhancement of brain connectivity. Previously, we showed that a single session of infra-low frequency neurofeedback results in increased connectivity between sensory processing networks in healthy young ...

The use of Neurofeedback (NFB) as a therapeutic tool remains controversial. Its efficacy is subject to many factors including subject’s motivation, content of the instruction, restingstate amplitude before the training and subject’s ability to concentrate on the task. Here we introduce a novel proactive neurofeedback paradigm and explore its use for training to increase parietal ...

Objective: Feedback latency was shown to be a critical parameter in a range of applications that imply learning. The therapeutic effects of neurofeedback (NFB) remain controversial. We hypothesized that often encountered unreliable results of NFB intervention could be associated with large feedback latency values that are often uncontrolled and may preclude the efficient learning. Approach: ...

Despite the increasing popularity of neurofeedback, its mechanisms of action are still poorly understood. This study aims to describe the processes underlying implicit electroencephalographic neurofeedback. Fifty-two healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to a single session of infra-low frequency neurofeedback or sham neurofeedback, with electrodes over the right middle temporal gyrus and the right inferior parietal ...

Nowadays, almost any experience can be digitalised, copied and reproduced; it is nothing but data. In this article, we discuss a new ethics of technology- and data-enhanced communication. We explore neurotechnology, one of the final frontiers of digitalisation, as a possible new way to share inner processes happening within the brain, to communicate with each ...

Neurofeedback (NFB) is a real-time paradigm, where subjects learn to volitionally modulate their own brain activity recorded with electroencephalographic (EEG), magnetoencephalographic (MEG) or other functional brain imaging techniques and presented to them via one of sensory modalities: visual, auditory or tactile. NFB has been proposed as an approach to treat neurological conditions and augment brain ...
