The Neural Dynamics of Action Representation for Sound: An investigation of musical training effects on mu suppression
… sensorimotor integration is essential for music performance. Musicians undergo extensive training, which enhances established neural links between auditory and motor areas of the brain. Long-term training develops, strengthens and enables flexibility in these connections allowing …

Brain computer interface based neurorehabilitation technique using a commercially available EEG headset
… In many systems, some known volitional control must exist in order to synchronize the user intended movement with the therapeutic virtual or robotic movement. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) aims to open up a new rehabilitation option for clinical population having no residual movement due to …

What Next? Unpacking Anticipatory EEG Oscillations in Auditory, Tactile and Visual Modalities: Relations with Behavior and Executive Function in Children and Adults
… in expectation of an upcoming target stimulus – may play a key role in the development of cognitive skills. In the current study, cognitive skills are specified as the execution of stimulus-relevant, goal-directed actions (as indexed by reaction time) and individual differences in the …

Automatic Activation of Phonological Templates for Native but Not Nonnative Phonemes: An Investigation of the Temporal Dynamics of Mu Activation
… and beta (~20Hz) spectral components of the mu () rhythm, localized to sensorimotor regions, have been shown to index somatosensory and motor activity, respectively. In the present work, event related spectral perturbations (ERSP) of the EEG -rhythm were analyzed, while manipulating two …

Investigating the effects of neuromodulatory training on autistic traits: a multi-methods psychophysiological study.
… difficulties with social interaction and communication. Building on past research in this area and with the aim of improving methodological perspectives, a multi method approach to the study of ASD, mirror neurons and neurofeedback was taken. This thesis is made up of three main experiments: …

Systematic examination of the impact of pre-stimulus alpha- mu and gamma band oscillations on perception : correlative and causal manipulation in mouse and human
… of dynamics in the expression of pre-stimulus oscillations on perception. Specifically, I test the prediction that alpha oscillations expressed in a given sensory representation within a neocortical map predict diminished sensory capability in that region of sensory space, while gamma …

Mapping the Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Sensorimotor Integration During the Perception and Performance of Wallowing
<p>Similar to other complex sequences of muscle activity, swallowing relies heavily upon ‘sensorimotor integration.’ It is well known that the premotor cortex and primary sensorimotor cortices provide critical sensorimotor contributions that help control the strength and timing of swallowing muscle …
