Study Design: A 6 year retrospective study was conducted.
Objectives: The populations at risk for spinal cord injury (SCI) in the northwestern Kentucky (KY) and southern Indiana (IN) regions were identified following examination of the causes and factors associated with SCI.
Setting: The database included patients primarily from the surrounding KY and IN counties admitted to the University of Louisville (U of L) Hospital.
Background: Several studies have reported changes in the spontaneous electroencephalogram of women across the menstrual cycle (MC), raising questions on whether sensory or cognitive evoked potentials would change with MC as well. Some of these studies have found changes synchronized with MC in visual event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), whereas others have reported none.
Methods: In the present study, we attempted to study the changes in P300 component of visual ERPs, and in BAEPs across the MC in healthy women.
Objective: To determine whether there are physiological correlates of categorical perception.
Design: Human evoked potentials were recorded in response to computer-modified speech sounds from a nine-stimulus continuum between /ba/ and /da/. In the first experiment, subjects listened to trains composed of 52% /ba/ or /da/ and 6% of each of the other eight stimuli and classified the stimuli as "ba" or "da.
