The act of performing music may induce a specific state mind, musicians potentially becoming immersed and detached from the rest world. May this be measured? Does mind change based on repetition? In collaboration with Stavanger Symphony Orchestra (SSO), we developed protocols to investigate ongoing changes in brain activation first violinist second real time during seven sequential, public concerts using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

From lab to life: challenges and perspectives of fNIRS for haemodynamic-based neurofeedback in real-world environments

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 379(1915)

Neurofeedback allows individuals to monitor and self-regulate their brain activity, potentially improving human function. Beyond the traditional electrophysiological approach using primarily electroencephalography, haemodynamics measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) more recently, near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have been used (haemodynamic-based neurofeedback), particularly improve spatial specificity of neurofeedback. Over recent years, especially fNIRS has attracted great attention because it offers several advantages over fMRI such as increased user accessibility, cost-effectiveness mobility—the latter being most distinct feature fNIRS. The next logical step would be transfer haemodynamic-based neurofeedback protocols that already proven validated by mobile However, this undertaking is not always easy, since novices may miss important fNIRS-specific methodological challenges. This review aimed at researchers from different fields who seek exploit unique capabilities for It carefully addresses challenges suggestions possible solutions. If raised are addressed further developed, could emerge a useful technique its own application potential—the targeted training activity in real-world environments, thereby significantly expanding scope scalability applications. article part theme issue ‘Neurofeedback: new territories neurocognitive mechanisms endogenous neuromodulation’.

Heterogeneity and convergence across seven neuroimaging modalities: a review of the autism spectrum disorder literature

Frontiers in Psychiatry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15

Background A growing body of literature classifies autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a heterogeneous, complex neurodevelopmental that often is identified prior to three years age. We aim provide narrative review key structural and functional properties differentiate the neuroimaging profile autistic youth from their typically developing (TD) peers across different modalities. Methods Relevant studies were by searching for terms in PubMed, with most recent search conducted on September 1, 2023. Original research papers included if they applied at least one seven modalities (structural MRI, DTI, MRS, fNIRS, MEG, EEG) compare children or those family history ASD TD without history; only participants <18 years; published 2013 Results In total, 172 considered qualitative synthesis.

Review of Multimodal Data Acquisition Approaches for Brain–Computer Interfaces

BioMed, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 4(4), С. 548 - 587

Опубликована: Дек. 2, 2024

There have been multiple technological advancements that promise to gradually enable devices measure and record signals with high resolution accuracy in the domain of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Multimodal BCIs able gain significant traction given their potential enhance signal processing by integrating different recording modalities. In this review, we explore integration neuroimaging neurophysiological modalities, including electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electrocorticography (ECoG), single-unit activity (SUA). This multimodal approach leverages temporal EEG MEG spatial precision fMRI, invasive yet precise nature ECoG, single-neuron specificity provided SUA. The paper highlights advantages such as increased reliability, discusses challenges limitations integration. Furthermore, explain data acquisition approaches for each these We also demonstrate various software programs help extracting, cleaning, refining data. conclude a discussion on available literature, highlighting recent advances, challenges, future directions
