The topographic distribution of the artifacts of gritting the teeth, eye movements and blinking were studied in 32 channel recordings. In records from resting normal controls with all artifacts deleted, little EEG activity is present below 1.2 Hz or above 22 Hz. Gritting the teeth does not produce any apparent artifact in the alpha band or lower frequencies. However, it increases fast activity at 13 Hz and above across the scalp, especially in the temporal region bilaterally. The activity of eye movements was strongly present in low frequency maps in the frontal area and disappeared above 9 Hz. Blinking influences all four frequency bands greatly. Knowledge about the frequency range within the power spectrum and the areas on the map in which artifact appear is important in interpreting clinical EEG maps.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a type of interface/communication system that can help users interact with their environments. Electroencephalography (EEG) has become the most common application of BCIs and provides a way for disabled individuals to communicate. While wet sensors are the most commonly used sensors for traditional EEG measurements, they require considerable preparation time, including the time needed to prepare the skin and to use the conductive gel.

A 30-year-old man underwent lateral orbitotomy with removal of dermoid cyst in the right orbit. One month after operation, the patient started to experience double vision. He had 25 prism diopters of esotropia in primary gaze with marked limitation of abduction in the right eye.

Objective: Increased high-frequency EEG activity in patients with insomnia has been posited to reflect increased physiological activity, increased mental content, or increased muscle artifact. In the current study, the impact of physiological arousal and increased EMG upon spectral EEG measures was examined.
Methods: Thirteen normal young adults performed eyes-open and eyes-closed maneuvers in the following conditions: (1) Initial (performed immediately after calibrations); (2) following sitting up and lying down (SIT); (3) following standing up and lying down (STAND); (4) Following a 5-min walk around the building (WALK); (5) during a 5-min mental subtraction task (MATH); (6) During 1 min of gritting teeth (GRIT); and (7) During 1 min of clenching fists (CLENCH).
