Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that attenuation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) alpha-/beta-band oscillations is causal to improvement in bradykinesia.
Methods: STN local field potentials from a sensing neurostimulator (Activa PC+S; Medtronic, Inc.) and kinematics from wearable sensors were recorded simultaneously during 60- and 140-Hz deep brain stimulation (DBS) in 9 freely moving PD subjects (15 STNs) performing repetitive wrist flexion-extension. Kinematics were recorded during 20-Hz DBS in a subgroup.
Results: Both 60- and 140-Hz DBS improved the angular velocity and frequency of movement (P = 0.002 and P = 0.029, respectively, for 60 Hz; P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively, for 140 Hz), but 60-Hz DBS did not attenuate beta-band power (13-30 Hz). In fact, 60-Hz DBS amplified alpha/low-beta (11-15 Hz, P = 0.007) and attenuated high-beta power (19-27 Hz, P < 0.001), whereas 140-Hz DBS broadly attenuated beta power (15-30 Hz, P < 0.001). Only 60-Hz DBS improved the regularity of angular range (P = 0.046) and 20-Hz DBS did not worsen bradykinesia. There was no correlation between beta-power modulation and bradykinesia.
Conclusions: These novel results obtained from freely moving PD subjects demonstrated that both 140- and 60-Hz DBS improved bradykinesia and attenuated high beta oscillations; however, 60-Hz DBS amplified a subband of alpha/low-beta oscillations, and DBS at a beta-band frequency did not worsen bradykinesia. Based on recent literature, we suggest that both 140- and 60-Hz DBS decouple the cortico-STN hyperdirect pathway, whereas 60-Hz DBS increases coupling within striato-STN circuitry. These results inform future algorithms for closed-loop DBS in PD. © 2016 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Objective: To determine the optimal montage and vocalization conditions for high-gamma language mapping using stereoelectroencephalography.
Methods: We studied 12 epilepsy patients who underwent invasive monitoring with depth electrodes and measurement of auditory-naming related high-gamma modulations. We determined the effects of electrode montage and vocalization conditions of the response on the high-gamma (60-140 Hz) amplitudes.

Article Synopsis
- The envelope of sound is really important for how we understand speech, and scientists are studying how our brain tracks it.
- They used special technology to record brain activity while people listened to two types of speech: one that sounded natural and another that was mixed with noise.
- They found that there are different ways our brain processes these sounds; one way is quick and likes the noise-mixed speech, while the other is slower and works better with natural speech.
Spontaneous State Detection Using Time-Frequency and Time-Domain Features Extracted From Stereo-Electroencephalography Traces.

As a minimally invasive recording technique, stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) measures intracranial signals directly by inserting depth electrodes shafts into the human brain, and thus can capture neural activities in both cortical layers and subcortical structures. Despite gradually increasing SEEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) studies, the features utilized were usually confined to the amplitude of the event-related potential (ERP) or band power, and the decoding capabilities of other time-frequency and time-domain features have not been demonstrated for SEEG recordings yet. In this study, we aimed to verify the validity of time-domain and time-frequency features of SEEG, where classification performances served as evaluating indicators.

Visual word recognition, at a minimum, involves the processing of word form and lexical information. Opinions diverge on the spatiotemporal distribution of and interaction between the two types of information. Feedforward theory argues that they are processed sequentially, whereas interactive theory advocates that lexical information is processed fast and modulates early word form processing.
