We present a recordings of 37-year-old woman with simultaneous ictal scalp and subdural electrodes. The ictal rhythm on subdural electrocorticography (ECoG) started earlier (median 24.5 sec) and ended later (median 2.0 sec) compared to ictal rhythm on scalp EEG. Eight ictal ECoG recordings were well localized to left temporal area, whereas ictal scalp EEG recordings were not. Our case shows the obvious timing relations between two recordings, and different electrophysiologic information about localization of ictal onset zone.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback training for emotion regulation and brain homeostasis on anxiety about COVID-19 infection, impulsivity, anger rumination, meta-mood, and self-regulation ability of late adolescents in the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic situation. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The participants included 55 late adolescents in the experimental and control groups. The variables were evaluated using quantitative EEG at pre-post time points in the experimental group. The experimental groups received 10 sessions using the three-band protocol for five weeks. The collected data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, t-test and paired t-test using the SAS 9.3 program. The collected EEG data used a frequency series power spectrum analysis method through fast Fourier transform. Results: Significant differences in emotion regulation between the two groups were observed in the anxiety about COVID-19 infection (W = 585.50, p = .002), mood repair of meta-mood (W = 889.50, p = .024), self-regulation ability (t = - 5.02, p < .001), self-regulation mode (t = - 4.74, p < .001), and volitional inhibition mode (t = - 2.61, p = .012). Neurofeedback training for brain homeostasis was effected on enhanced sensory-motor rhythm (S = 177.00, p < .001) and inhibited theta (S = - 166.00, p < .001). Conclusion: The results demonstrate the potential of EEG biofeedback training as an independent nursing intervention that can markedly improve anxiety, mood-repair, and self-regulation ability for emotional distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

People are constantly exposed to stress and anxiety environment, which could contribute to a variety of psychological and physical health problems. Therefore, it is particularly important to identify psychological stress in time and to find a feasible and universal method of stress reduction. This research investigated the influence of different music, such as relaxation music and natural rhythm music, on stress relief based on Electroencephalogram signals. Mental arithmetic test was implemented to create a stressful environment. 23 participants performed the mental arithmetic test with and without music respectively, while their Electroencephalogram signal was recorded. The effect of music on stress relief was verified through stress test questionnaires, including Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) and Self-Stress Assessment. There was a significant change in the stress test questionnaire values with and without music according to paired t-test (p<0.01). Furthermore, a model based on Transformer for stress level classification from Electroencephalogram signal was proposed. Experimental results showed that the method of listening to relaxation music and natural rhythm music achieved the effect of reducing psychological stress and the proposed model yielded a promising accuracy in classifying the Electroencephalogram signal of mental stress.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the neurophysiological and behavioral adaptation during one or both hands movement in chronic stroke patients. METHODS: The study included sixteen hemiplegic stroke patients. Neurophysiological data (brain activation and muscle activation) were examined by electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG), and behavioral adaptation was examined by wrist extension angle during wrist extension with one hand or both hands. Outcome variables of one hand or both hands were; mu rhythm of the EEG, EMG amplitude of wrist extensor and flexor muscles, and wrist angle of Myomotion 3D motion analysis. RESULTS: Our results revealed that wrist extension angle was significant increased during both hands movement compared to one hand movement (p<.05). Furthermore, in affected sensorimotor area, there was significant increase in the brain activation during both hands movement compared to one hand movement (p<.05). However, there was no significant different between one hand and both hands movement in muscle activation (p>.05). CONCLUSION: According to the findings of this experiment, bilateral arm movement improved brain activity on affected sensorimotor area and wrist extension angle. Therefore, we suggest that bilateral arm movement would positive effect on stroke rehabilitation in terms of increase in brain activation on affected motor area and wrist extension during bilateral arm movement.

Purpose: Treatments using a mirror neuron system, such as 3D virtual reality therapy, are used in stroke rehabilitation, but they need to be constructed according to a detailed procedure. The aims of this study were to analyze electroencephalograms (EEG) during relaxation and action while observing first person perspective (1AE) and third person perspective (3AE) videos of the right hand for 20's. Methods: Thirty participants (Male=4, Female=26) were recruited for this study. Participants were selected by a vividness of movement imagery questionnaire (VMIQ). EEG was measured during relaxxation and during action with 1AE and 3AE videos, focusing on the supination and pronation actions of participants' right hands. An absolute mu rhythm, a relatively high alpha power, and a relative beta power were identified. In each group, one-way repeated measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results: Measurement of absolute mu rhythms was significantly suppressed for both 1AE and 3AE compared with relaxation in C3 and C4 regions. High alpha wave measurements were significantly suppressed for both 1AE and 3AE in all regions, while beta wave measurements were significantly increased only for 3AE in F3 and F4 regions. Conclusion: Based on this study, we suggest that the mirror neuron system is activated during actions accompanied by action observation, especially actions with 3AE video observation, which can be a great therapeutic mathod in stroke rehabilitation.

The aim of this study is to examine the change of Electroencephalogram (EEG) and concentration by practicing acupressure at the GB20 on normal humans. We selected 36 children and divided them into GB20 group and SP6 group. Electrode was measured in Fp1 and Fp2, and EEG was measured before and after practicing acupressure at the GB20 and SP6. Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.043). M-$\beta$ wave increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.022). H-$\beta$ wave increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.040). $\gamma$ wave increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.021). $(SMR+M-\beta)/\Theta$ ratio increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.023). $\beta/\Theta$ ratio increased significantly at the GB20 group (p=0.020). On the other hand, $\alpha$ and $\Theta$ wave did not have significant changes. Through this experiment, we conclude that acupressure at the GB20 on normal humans could increase the ability of concentration.

본 논문에서는 사지가 마비되어 신체를 움직이지 못하지만 뇌의 기능은 정상적인 대 마비 환자들을 위한, 생각만으로 외부의 장치를 제어할 수 있도록 하는 BCI(Brain-Computer Interface) 시스템 제어기술을 연구하였다. 사지를 움직이는 상상을 할 경우, 뇌의 운동 감각 피질 영역에서 발생하는 뮤리듬(${\mu}8$-12Hz)에서 증가되는 신호의 패턴인 Event-Related Synchronization (ERS)를 Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT)과 Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)를 이용하여 검출 하는 방법을 시도 하였다. ERS는 사람마다 다른 주파수 영역에서 발생하며, 본 논문에서는 ERS가 가장 많이 발현되고 전압이 큰 주파수를 검출하기 위해 8-12Hz 주파수영역의 EEG평균에서 PSO를 이용하여 가장 큰 진폭을 가지는 주파수를 확인 한 후, 해당 주파수를 사용하여 C3, C4채널에서 동작 상상 시 나타나는 ERS의 특징을 PSO를 이용하여 찾는 것이며. 개개인 마다 다른 주파수 영역에서 나타나는 ERS의 특징을 가장 많이 발현되는 주파수영역으로 고정하여 움직임 분석을 시도 하였다. 실험 결과에 사용된 data는 BCI competition IV data set의 실험자 b data를 사용 하였고, 하나의 주파수 대역만을 사용한 결과 왼손 40%, 오른손 38% 검출 정확도를 보였다.
