4 unusual facts about Electroencephalography


Edward Both

With his brother he continued to work in medical equipment, developing a humidicrib, a new concept in design for blood transfusion equipment, and an electro-encephalograph.

Electroencephalography

In 1912, Russian physiologist, Vladimir Vladimirovich Pravdich-Neminsky published the first animal EEG and the evoked potential of the mammalian (dog).

Response priming

or so-called readiness potentials which reflect the degree of motor activation in the brain's motor cortex and can be measured by electro-encephalographic methods.

Robert Roland Hughes

Robert Roland Hughes MB ChB MD FRCP (1911 - 1991) was a British neurologist and pioneer of Electroencephalography and neurology.


Brain mapping

Of specific interest is using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), positron emission tomography (PET), Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and other non-invasive scanning techniques to map anatomy, physiology, perfusion, function and phenotypes of the human brain.

EConnectome

eConnectome (Electrophysiological Connectome) is an open-source MATLAB toolbox with graphical user interfaces for mapping and imaging brain functional connectivity at both the scalp and cortical levels from electrophysiological signals including electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocorticogram (ECoG).

EEG-fMRI

The initial motivation for EEG-fMRI was in the field of research into epilepsy, and in particular the study of interictal epileptiform discharges (IED, or interictal spikes), and their generators, and of seizures.

Steady state topography

Most SST studies use a visual stimulus in the upper alpha frequency range (10 Hz – 13 Hz) or gamma frequency range (30 Hz – 100 Hz) to elicit the SSVEP.
