The response of a neuron to synaptic input strongly depends on whether or not the neuron has just emitted a spike. We propose a neuron model that after spike emission exhibits a partial response to residual input charges and study its collective network dynamics analytically. We uncover a desynchronization mechanism that causes a sequential desynchronization transition: In globally coupled neurons an increase in the strength of the partial response induces a sequence of bifurcations from states with large clusters of synchronously firing neurons, through states with smaller clusters to completely asynchronous spiking. We briefly discuss key consequences of this mechanism for more general networks of biophysical neurons.

Article Synopsis
  • Motor imagery (MI) improves motor performance and activates the motor cortex, while EEG-neurofeedback (EEG-NF) allows real-time brain activity self-regulation but its effects on motor performance are unclear.
  • A study with 91 healthy adults compared the effects of MI training, EEG-NF training, their combination, and a control group on sequential finger tapping performance before and after a 30-minute training session.
  • Results showed MI significantly enhanced motor performance immediately and at 20 minutes after training compared to control, while only the combination of MI and EEG-NF improved performance 24 hours post-training, suggesting potential benefits for rehabilitation strategies.

For the electroencephalogram- (EEG-) based motor imagery (MI) brain-computer interface (BCI) system, more attention has been paid to the advanced machine learning algorithms rather than the effective MI training protocols over past two decades. However, it is crucial to assist the subjects in modulating their active brains to fulfill the endogenous MI tasks during the calibration process, which will facilitate signal processing using various machine learning algorithms. Therefore, we propose a trial-feedback paradigm to improve MI training and introduce a non-feedback paradigm for comparison.

The ability to accurately encode the temporal information of sensory events and hence to make prompt action is fundamental to humans' prompt behavioral decision-making. Here we examined the ability of ensemble coding (averaging multiple inter-intervals in a sound sequence) and subsequent immediate reproduction of target duration at half, equal, or double that of the perceived mean interval in a sensorimotor loop. With magnetoencephalography (MEG), we found that the contingent magnetic variation (CMV) in the central scalp varied as a function of the averaging tasks, with a faster rate for buildup amplitudes and shorter peak latencies in the "half" condition as compared to the "double" condition.

Rapid and robust identification of the individual alpha frequency (IAF) in electroencephalogram (EEG) is an essential factor for successful brain-computer interface (BCI) use. Here we demonstrate an algorithm to determine the IAF from short-term resting-state scalp EEG data. First, we outlined the algorithm to determine IAF from short-term resting scalp EEG data and evaluated its reliability using a large-scale dataset of scalp EEG during motor imagery-based BCI use and independent dataset for generalizability confirmation (N = 147).
