A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2013 ABSTRACT SLOW POTENTIALS OF THE SENSORIMOTOR CORTEX DURING RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS OF THE ANKLE Ryan J. McKindles, B.S. Marquette University, 2013 The objective of this dissertation was to more fully understand the role of the human brain in the production of lower extremity rhythmic movements. Throughout the last century, evidence from animal models has demonstrated that spinal reflexes and networks alone are sufficient to propagate ambulation. However, observations after neural trauma, such as a spinal cord injury, demonstrate that humans require supraspinal drive to facilitate locomotion. To investigate the unique nature of lower extremity rhythmic movements, electroencephalography was used to record neural signals from the sensorimotor cortex during three cyclic ankle movement experiments. First, we characterized the differences in slow movement-related cortical potentials during rhythmic and discrete movements. During the experiment, motion analysis and electromyography were used characterize lower leg kinematics and muscle activation patterns. Second, a custom robotic device was built to assist in passive and active ankle movements.

    Perceptual functions of auditory neural oscillation entrainment Perceptual functions of auditory neural oscillation entrainment By Andrew Chang, Bachelor of Science A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Andrew Chang July 29, 2019 McMaster University Doctor of Philosophy (2019) Hamilton, Ontario (Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour) TITLE: Perceptual functions of auditory neural oscillation entrainment AUTHOR: Andrew Chang (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Laurel J. Trainor NUMBER OF PAGES: xviii, 134 ii Lay Abstract Perceiving speech and musical sounds in real time is challenging, because they occur in rapid succession and each sound masks the previous one. Rhythmic timing regularities (e.g., musical beats, speech syllable onsets) may greatly aid in overcoming this challenge, because timing regularity enables the brain to make temporal predictions and, thereby, anticipatorily prepare for perceiv- ing upcoming sounds. This thesis investigated the perceptual and neural mechanisms for tracking auditory rhythm and enhancing perception. Per- ceptually, rhythmic regularity in streams of tones facilitates pitch percep- tion. Neurally, multiple neural oscillatory activities (high-frequency power, low-frequency phase, and their coupling) track auditory inputs, and they are associated with distinct perceptual mechanisms (enhancing sensitivity or de- creasing reaction time), and these mechanisms are coordinated to proactively track rhythmic regularity and enhance audition. The findings start the dis- cussion of answering how the human brain is able to process and understand the information in rapid speech and musical streams. iii Abstract Humans must process fleeting auditory information in real time, such as speech and music.

Great developments have been made in the search of biomarkers in these disorders, especially in AD. Nevertheless, there is a tremendous need to develop an efficient, low-cost, potentially portable, non-invasive biomarker in the diagnosis, course, or treatment of the above-mentioned disorders. Electrophysiological methods would provide a tool that would reflect functional brain dynamic changes within milliseconds and also may be used as an ensemble of biomarkers that is greatly needed in the evaluation of cognitive changes seen in these disorders. The strategies for measuring cognitive changes include spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG),

    Neural oscillation Neural oscillations, or brainwaves, are rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in the central nervous system. Neural tissue can generate oscillatory activity in many ways, driven either by mechanisms within individual neurons or by interactions between neurons. In individual neurons, oscillations can appear either as oscillations in membrane potential or as rhythmic patterns of action potentials, which then produce oscillatory activation of post-synaptic neurons. At the level of neural ensembles, synchronized activity of large numbers of neurons can give rise to macroscopic oscillations, which can be observed in an electroencephalogram. Oscillatory activity in groups of neurons generally arises from feedback connections between the neurons that result in the synchronization of their firing patterns. The interaction between neurons can give rise to oscillations at a different frequency than the firing frequency of individual neurons. A well-known example of macroscopic neural oscillations is alpha activity. Neural oscillations were observed by researchers as early as 1924 (by Hans Berger). More than 50 years later, intrinsic oscillatory behavior was encountered in vertebrate neurons, but its functional role is still not fully understood.[1] The possible roles of neural oscillations include feature binding, information transfer mechanisms and the generation of rhythmic motor output. Over the last decades more insight has been gained, especially with advances in brain imaging. A major area of research in neuroscience involves determining how oscillations are generated and what their roles are. Oscillatory activity in the brain is widely observed at different levels of organization and is thought to play a key role in processing neural information.

  • Neurodynamics of Music..Pdf
    Chapter 7 Neurodynamics of Music Edward W. Large 7.1 Introduction Music is a high-level cognitive capacity, similar in many respects to language (Patel 2007). Like language, music is universal among humans, and musical systems vary among cultures and depend upon learning. But unlike language, music rarely makes reference to the external world. It consists of independent, that is, self-contained, patterns of sound, certain aspects of which are found universally among musical cultures. These two aspects – independence and universality – suggest that general principles of neural dynamics might underlie music perception and musical behavior. Such principles could provide a set of innate constraints that shape human musical behavior and enable children to acquire musical knowledge. This chapter outlines just such a set of principles, explaining key aspects of musical experience directly in terms of nervous system dynamics. At the outset, it may not be obvious that this is possible, but by the end of the chapter it should become clear that a great deal of evidence already supports this view. This chapter examines the evidence that links music perception and behavior to nervous system dynamics and attempts to tie together existing strands of research within a unified theoretical framework. The basic idea has three parts. The first is that certain kinds of musical structures tap into fundamental modes of brain dynamics at precisely the right time scales to cause the nervous system to resonate to the musical patterns. Exposure to musical structures causes the formation of spatiotemporal patterns of activity on multiple temporal and spatial scales within the nervous system.

  • Phase-Dependent Deep Brain Stimulation: a Review
    brain sciences Review Phase-Dependent Deep Brain Stimulation: A Review Lekshmy Sudha Kumari and Abbas Z. Kouzani * School of Engineering, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Neural oscillations are repetitive patterns of neural activity in the central nervous systems. Oscillations of the neurons in different frequency bands are evident in electroencephalograms and local field potential measurements. These oscillations are understood to be one of the key mechanisms for carrying out normal functioning of the brain. Abnormality in any of these frequency bands of oscillations can lead to impairments in different cognitive and memory functions leading to different pathological conditions of the nervous system. However, the exact role of these neural oscillations in establishing various brain functions is still under investigation. Closed loop deep brain stimulation paradigms with neural oscillations as biomarkers could be used as a mechanism to understand the function of these oscillations. For making use of the neural oscillations as biomarkers to manipulate the frequency band of the oscillation, phase of the oscillation, and stimulation signal are of impor- tance. This paper reviews recent trends in deep brain stimulation systems and their non-invasive counterparts, in the use of phase specific stimulation to manipulate individual neural oscillations. In particular, the paper reviews the methods adopted in different brain stimulation systems and devices for stimulating at a definite phase to further optimize closed loop brain stimulation strategies.
