On July 6th of 1924 Hans Berger -a German psychiatrist- first recorded electric signals from the human brainvia scalp electrodes. This date marks the beginning of Electroencephalography. In this review a representative panel of past and present Officers of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) and of its Official Journal briefly summarizes the past, present and future of Electroencephalographic and related neurophysiological techniques' impact and the role of the IFCN in global collaboration, education, standardization, research innovation, and clinical practice.

Thirty-six healthy elderly and 40 young subjects participated. EEG signals were recorded during pre- and post-sleep onset periods and functional connectivity analysis, specifically focusing on the small world (SW) index, applied to EEG data (i.

- The study explores the effects of internet-based mindfulness interventions (e-MBIs) on reducing anxiety, depression, and stress in cancer patients, specifically those with prostate or breast cancer.
- It assesses how the variety and frequency of mindfulness practices, along with factors like personality traits and sociodemographic characteristics, relate to symptom improvements.
- Results indicate that participants who practiced mindfulness more diversely and consistently showed significant symptom reduction, with male, married, and educated individuals more likely to engage in these practices.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on spinal cord excitability through a randomized, sham-controlled experiment involving 18 young participants.
- It found that a specific electrode configuration (anode on the 7th cervical spinous process and cathode on the glottis) significantly enhanced motor responses in hand muscles when stimulated, particularly noticeable during tsDCS and plateauing after six minutes.
- These results indicate that tsDCS may enhance motoneuron excitability, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for individuals with impaired hand motor function due to corticospinal fiber issues.
