A high fraction of artifact-free signals is highly desirable in functional neuroimaging and brain-computer interfacing (BCI). We present the high-variance electrode artifact removal (HEAR) algorithm to remove transient electrode pop and drift (PD) artifacts from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Transient PD artifacts reflect impedance variations at the electrode scalp interface that are caused by ion concentration changes. HEAR and its online version (oHEAR) are open-source and publicly available. Both outperformed state of the art offline and online transient, high-variance artifact correction algorithms for simulated EEG signals. (o)HEAR attenuated PD artifacts by approx. 25 dB, and at the same time maintained a high SNR during PD artifact-free periods. For real-world EEG data, (o)HEAR reduced the fraction of outlier trials by half and maintained the waveform of a movement related cortical potential during a center-out reaching task. In the case of BCI training, using oHEAR can improve the reliability of the feedback a user receives through reducing a potential negative impact of PD artifacts.

Objectives: Electrocochleography (ECochG) is increasingly recognized as a biomarker for assessing inner ear function in cochlear implant patients. This study aimed to objectively determine intraoperative cochlear microphonic (CM) amplitude patterns and correlate them with residual hearing in cochlear implant recipients, addressing the limitations in current ECochG analysis that often depends on subjective visual assessment and overlook the intracochlear measurement location.
Design: In this prospective study, we investigated intraoperative pure-tone ECochG following complete electrode insertion in 31 patients.

Studies in people suggest that surface electroencephalography (EEG) electrode positions vary across participants and that the consistency of these positions is electrode-, region-, and examiner-dependent. The aim was to investigate the variability in EEG electrode positions to their underlying cortical regions (CRs) in dogs using a neuronavigation system and evaluate the use of said system in electrode positioning, via a cadaver study with 22 dogs. CT scans and MRI were performed for each dog.

Retinal prostheses evoke visual precepts by electrically stimulating functioning cells in the retina. Despite high variance in perceptual thresholds across subjects, among electrodes within a subject, and over time, retinal prosthesis users must undergo 'system fitting', a process performed to calibrate stimulation parameters according to the subject's perceptual thresholds. Although previous work has identified electrode-retina distance and impedance as key factors affecting thresholds, an accurate predictive model is still lacking.

Diagnosis of learning difficulties is a challenging goal. There are huge number of factors involved in the evaluation procedure that present high variance among the population with the same difficulty. Diagnosis is usually performed by scoring subjects according to results obtained in different neuropsychological (performance-based) tests specifically designed to this end.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy requires extensive patient-specific planning prior to implantation to achieve optimal clinical outcomes. Collective analysis of patient's brain images is promising in order to provide more systematic planning assistance. In this paper the design of a normalization pipeline using a group specific multi-modality iterative template creation process is presented.
