Electroencephalography

An artifact is any kind of disruption or unwanted error that is seen while perceiving data not generated from the brain. Examples of such witnessed throughout this experiment included swallowing, blinking, perspiration, gazing, and head movement to name a few. Yes, I would include these in my investigation because they occur in everyone and therefore should be factored into the evaluations. 2.Alpha waves are indicated by a person who is awake and very much at ease. Depending if the eyes were…

This next section will present real-life application of some of the previously mentioned measurements and sonification techniques to present a performance in which brain activity is part of the piece. Though with some, their focus may have not been on expressing real-time emotional states, their experimentation with the medium provides some insight into the challenges of adopting these technologies. Alvin Lucier’s “Music for Solo Performer.” This piece has been regarded as the first of its…

Article I Background It is known that socioeconomic status (SES) impacts both structural and functional brain development in childhood, but before this study, it was never tested how early the signs of impact could be detected. The earliest study of impact tested sixteen to thirty-six-month-old infants in their language and cognitive skills and predicted their language improvement for the next three years (Gou, Choudhury, & Benasich, 2011). Another study observed the effects of low SES by…

The 1962 art science-fiction French movies ‘La Jetée’ was directed By Chris Marker. The movie runs for 28 minutes and most of the film shot by using ‘Photomontage’ technique shot in black and white apart from one short video that shot in motion which is the scene that the girl is sleeping in the bed and the picture going to fade and then suddenly open her eyes and blinking. Photomontage is a combination of several images joined together in an artistic way. This movie has been Recognized as one…

Sleep is very important to our health and daily functioning. Theories, such as the consolidation theory and the restorative theory, suggest that sleep plays a role in restoring memories, improving the immune system and promoting insight, problem solving and neural development. Disrupting the five stages of the sleep cycle can result in sleep deprivation causing damage to our overall physical and mental health. A typical night’s sleep cycle consists of five different stages. The first four…

Children with Complex Diseases: Anoxic Injuries at Birth Anoxic injuries can happen at any point in the gestational or birthing process. Some of the effects resolve shortly after birth with appropriate intervention, some have lifelong consequences, and some ultimately result in death. An anoxic brain injury occurs when the fetus or baby is deprived of oxygen for a host of different reasons. The extent of damage depends on many factors, as well as the prognosis. Manifestations…

Persons with cognitive problem affects the processed of reasoning and handle the comprehension, information, ideas, memorization, thoughts. This is cognitive problem is related to operation in the brain that helps with the reasoning, planing, calculating and judging this is very frustrated for them and this affects a million of people without even being unaware that they have this problem or finding a solution for this. A great natural solution it will be to introduce ways to stimulate the brain…

The electromyography (EMG) has the capacity of many uses in the clinical setting for gait analysis in the diagnosis of neural muscular disorders such as cerebral palsy. This method was chosen in our experiment to record and examine the electrical activity of the skeletal muscle during gait movement during treadmill and over ground walking. In our experiment we specifically looked at the lower extremity with overactive quadriceps and underactive. Common to use to EMG to identify precisely…

Electrophysiology involves using electric conductance to measure the electrical activity of cells and tissues in biological samples. It regulates the electrical activity through a change in voltage or electric current. Specifically, in neuronal cells, it helps in the assessment of action potential, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD)-all of which play an important role in the synaptic activity of the cell. Patch Clamp technique is one of the widely used electrophysiology…

In light of the study on the Cardiac Cycle Time Effects on Sensory Modulation, it was apparent that the point of the experiment was to investigate the differences in memory recollection subsequent to the presence of various visual stimuli. The study involved the usage of an EOG and an EDA transducer that were attached to my body accordingly before the study was initiated. The purpose of these devices were to monitor the change in muscular electrical activity around the eyes in order to keep…
