Sentences with phrase «via electrodes»

One popular set of techniques, called transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), delivers electrical current via electrodes stuck to the scalp, typically above the target brain area.

Other methods of interfacing with the brain via electrodes include those put on the scalp for electroencephalography (EEG) and ones placed under the skull on the brain's surface, known as electrocorticography (ECoG).

In order to identify the part of their brains responsible for seizures, the patients underwent 1 to 4 weeks of observation through electrocorticography (ECoG), a technique that provides precise neural recordings via electrodes placed directly on the surface of the brain.

For 70 percent of the images, they received a very brief, unpleasant electrical shock to the hand via electrodes.

The scientists measured the amplitude of blinks via electrodes that detected muscle contractions under people's eyes.

The current is delivered via electrodes on a patient's scalp while the patient is under general anaesthesia.

In traditional cochlear implants the external microphone picks up sound and transmits it to these neurons via electrodes, but the resolution is very poor.

The team examined the brainwave patterns of 36 infants (17 in the first experiment and 19 in the second) using electroencephalography (EEG), which measures patterns of brain electrical activity via electrodes in a skull cap worn by the participants.

The idea is to prevent seizures by stimulating the vagus nerve in the neck, via electrodes attached to a battery pack implanted in the chest.

Then pulses of electric current are passed through her brain via electrodes positioned on her head.

Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the University of Southern California (USC) Viterbi School of Engineering have demonstrated a neural prosthetic system that can improve a memory by «writing» information «codes» (based on a patient's specific memory patterns) into the hippocampus of human subjects via an electrode implanted in the hippocampus (a part of the brain involved in making new memories).

Not exact matches

The exact location of neural activity is far more difficult to discern via EEG than with many other, more invasive methods because the skull, scalp, and cerebral fluid surrounding the brain scatter its electric signals before they reach the electrodes.

Electrical and computer engineering Professor Barry Van Veen wears an electrode net used to monitor brain activity via EEG signals.

Across a range of disorders, deep - brain stimulation works much the same way: A pacemaker - like device in the chest transmits a signal to the implanted electrode via wires that run underneath the scalp.

The neural signals recorded by the electrodes are transmitted via a cable to a computer where algorithms developed in Shenoy's lab decode the participant's intentions and translate the signals into movements of a computer cursor.

In addition, high frequency stimulation delivered via macroelectrodes has been shown to inhibit nearby neuronal somata, while also providing excitation to axonal projections, indicating that small changes in electrode location could lead to substantially different results (Herrington et al., 2016).
