EEGs of 51 patients with focal brain lesions (tumor localized in brain hemispheres) were analyzed. Coherence functions were calculated between the EEG recorded from the intact and lesioned hemispheres and three-dimensional analysis of the delta-wave "source" localization was conducted. The revealed delta-wave "sources" localized in the perifocal region of the lesioned hemisphere demonstrated its dynamic properties and a tendency for fluctuations. Changes in the delta-wave "source" pattern were correlated with the EEG coherence values neither in the lesioned nor in the intact hemisphere. The focus of pathological activity produced the changes in EEG coherence and its interhemispheric asymmetry. In the majority of cases (72%), the mean level of intrahemispheric coherence at the side ipsilateral to the pathological focus was lower than the normal mean level, and the mean level of EEG coherence in the intact hemisphere was increased.

A classical observation in experimental psychology is a reduction in reaction time and response accuracy under time pressure (TP). This speed-accuracy tradeoff may be understood from the combined perspectives of affordance competition and urgency gating. This view implies that action programs compete with each other from stimulus onset until the final response.

Acute brain injury (ABI) is a complex disease process that begins with an initial insult followed by secondary injury resulting from disturbances in cerebral physiology. In the metabolically active brain, early recognition of physiologic derangements is critical in enabling clinicians with the insight to adjust therapeutic interventions and reduce risk of ischemia and permanent injury. Current established approaches for monitoring cerebral physiology include the neurologic physical examination, traditional brain imaging such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and bedside modalities such as invasive parenchymal probes and transcranial doppler ultrasound.

Endogenous visuo-spatial attention is under the control of a fronto-parietal network of brain regions. One key node in this network, the intra-parietal sulcus (IPS), plays a crucial role in maintaining endogenous attention, but little is known about its ongoing physiology and network dynamics during different attentional states. Here, we investigated the reactivity of the left IPS in response to brain stimulation under different states of selective attention.

Unlabelled: The integration of auditory and visual stimuli is essential for effective language processing and social perception. The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying audio-visual (A-V) integration by investigating the temporal dynamics of multisensory regions in the human brain. Specifically, we evaluated inter-trial coherence (ITC), a neural index indicative of phase resetting, through scalp electroencephalography (EEG) while participants performed a temporal-order judgment task that involved auditory (beep, A) and visual (flash, V) stimuli.

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying emotional processing is critical for advancing neuroscience and mental health interventions. This study examined these mechanisms by analyzing EEG connectivity patterns across different brain regions while participants evoked various emotions. After applying independent component analysis (ICA) to eliminate non-cortical activity, we assessed frequency-specific connectivity patterns using coherence, Granger causality, and graph theoretical measures to evaluate both functional and effective connectivity.
