Spontaneous EEG was registered under different activity conditions in 26 volunteers. The EEG synchronisation parameters were compared with the geomagnetic and solar activity on the day of experiment. A positive correlation of the EEG data with the geomagnetic activity was revealed, being most obvious in the frontal and central areas. A negative correlation between some local EEG synchronisation parameters and different indices of the solar activity, was also revealed. The degree of synchronisation of the spontaneous EEG seems to reflect sensitivity of the human nervous system to the Earth's magnetic field. A stressor response to strong short-term disturbances in the geomagnetic field reveals itself in the form of enhancement of the EEG global synchronisation. A sedative effect of slow magnetic oscillations is locally revealed in the parameters of the EEG synchronisation within the left hemisphere as well as the interhemisphere synchronisation.

Attention deficit/hyperactive disorder is increasing in prevalence among children all over the world which affects the children's communication, learning, and behavior, which in turn affects the quality of life. The depolarization of neurons is modulated by neural stimulation which triggers activity-based mechanisms of neuroplasticity. An external periodic stimulus that can modify the oscillations of the brain through synchronization is called entrainment.

: Epilepsy is a group of disorders characterized by a cluster of clinical and EEG signs leading to the formation of abnormal synchronous excitation of neurons in the brain. It is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide; and is characterized by aberrant expression patterns; both at the level of matrix transcripts and at the level of regulatory RNA sequences. Aberrant expression of a number of microRNAs can mark a particular epileptic syndrome; which will improve the quality of differential diagnosis.

This study involved 72 volunteers divided into two groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): AHI>15 episodes per hour (ep/h) (main group, n=39, including 28 men, median AHI 44.15, median age 47), 0≤AHI≤15ep/h (control group, n=33, including 12 men, median AHI 2, median age 28). Each participant underwent polysomnography with a recording of 19 EEG channels.

Introduction: Motor-imagery-based Brain-Machine Interface (MI-BMI) has been established as an effective treatment for post-stroke hemiplegia. However, the need for long-term intervention can represent a significant burden on patients. Here, we demonstrate that motor imagery (MI) instructions for BMI training, when supplemented with somatosensory stimulation in addition to conventional verbal instructions, can help enhance MI capabilities of healthy participants.

Language control processes allow for the flexible manipulation and access to context-appropriate verbal representations. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have localized the brain regions involved in language control processes usually by comparing high vs. low lexical-semantic control conditions during verbal tasks.
