TL;DR: EMD outperformed the three other algorithms for the denoising of data highly contaminated by muscular activity and suggests that the performance of muscle artifact correction methods strongly depend on the level of data contamination, and of the source configuration underlying EEG signals.

TL;DR: A macroscopic (neural mass) model of the thalamocortical network is developed, in line with already-existing models, which includes interconnected neocortical pyramidal cells and interneurons, thalamic cells and reticular neurons and introduces the biophysical effects of direct stimulation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the centromedian thalamic nucleus is a worthwhile stimulation target for alternative treatment in selected cases of drug-resistant nonsurgical epilepsy.

TL;DR: Evaluating the ability of Independent Component Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis, to remove muscle artefacts from surface EEG signals showed that some ICA methods and CCA removed successfully the muscle artifact without altering the recorded underlying ictal activity.

TL;DR: This research presents the results of a six-month study conducted at the University of Rennes using the Neurinfo MR imaging platform to characterize the dynamic response of the nervous system in animals.
