Vibrotactile Stimulus Frequency Optimization for the Haptic BCI Prototype [PDF]
The paper presents results from a psychophysical study conducted to optimize vibrotactile stimuli delivered to subject finger tips in order to evoke the somatosensory responses to be utilized next in a haptic brain computer interface (hBCI) paradigm. We also present the preliminary EEG evoked responses for the chosen stimulating frequency. The obtained

P300 somatosensory validation of vibrotactile haptic feedback for upper limb prosthesis [PDF]
Haptic sensation research based on the event's related potential (ERP) has been carried out extensively in order to help amputees to be able feel and control their prosthetic hand.

Dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials assessment in congenital scoliosis [PDF]
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to assess the value of dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials (DSEPs) and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in monitoring spinal cord function for patients with congenital scoliosis (CS).

Comparison of transcranial electric motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during cervical spine surgery. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There has been little enthusiasm for somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in cervical spine surgery as a result, in part, of the increased risk of motor tract injury at this level, to which somatosensory monitoring may be insensitive ...

The Somatosensory Evoked Potential [PDF]
Three decades have elapsed since Dawson (1947) recorded the first somatosensory evoked potential (SEP). Simple superimposition of individual responses was possible because the patient had progressive myoclonic epilepsy. In this disease the SEP amplitude is much enhanced (Shibasaki et al, 1978; Kelly et al, 1981).

Somatosensory-Evoked Early Sharp Waves in the Neonatal Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
The developing entorhinal–hippocampal system is embedded within a large-scale bottom-up network, where spontaneous myoclonic movements, presumably via somatosensory feedback, trigger hippocampal early sharp waves (eSPWs).

Randomized Multiresolution Scanning in Focal and Fast E/MEG Sensing of Brain Activity with a Variable Depth [PDF]
We focus on electromagnetoencephalography imaging of the neural activity and, in particular, finding a robust estimate for the primary current distribution via the hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM). Our aim is to develop a reasonably fast maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation technique which would be applicable for both superficial and deep areas ...

Neuronal functional connectivity among multiple areas of the rat somatosensory system during spontaneous and evoked activities [PDF]
Small-World Networks (SWNs) represent a fundamental model for the comprehension of many complex man-made and biological networks. In the central nervous system, SWN models have been shown to fit well both anatomical and functional maps at the macroscopic level.
