Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of an independent component analysis approach for artifact identification and removal in magnetoencephalographic signals.
TL;DR: The present noise reduction procedure, including ICA separation phase, automatic artifactual ICs selection and 'discrepancy' control cycle, showed good performances both on simulated and real MEG data and suggests the procedure to be able to separate different cerebral activity sources, even if characterized by very similar frequency contents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping distributed sources of cortical rhythms in mild Alzheimer's disease. A multicentric EEG study.
Claudio Babiloni,Giuliano Binetti,Emanuele Cassetta,Daniele Cerboneschi,Gloria Dal Forno,Claudio Del Percio,Florinda Ferreri,Raffaele Ferri,Bartolo Lanuzza,Carlo Miniussi,Davide V. Moretti,Flavio Nobili,Roberto D. Pascual-Marqui,Guido Rodriguez,Gian Luca Romani,Serenella Salinari,Franca Tecchio,Paolo Vitali,Orazio Zanetti,Filippo Zappasodi,Paolo Maria Rossini +20 more
TL;DR: This was the first investigation that illustrated the power spectrum profiles at the level of cortical (macroregions) EEG sources in mild AD patients having different severity of the disease with respect to VaD and normal subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticospinal Excitability Modulation to Hand Muscles During Movement Imagery
TL;DR: The study shows that movement imagery can focus specific facilitation on the prime-mover muscle for the mentally simulated movement in FDI muscle, which controls fingers with highly corticalized motor representation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term brain ‘plasticity’ in humans: transient finger representation changes in sensory cortex somatotopy following ischemic anesthesia
P.M. Rossini,G. Martino,Livio Narici,A. Pasquarelli,M. Peresson,Vittorio Pizzella,Franca Tecchio,Guido Torrioli,Gian Luca Romani +8 more
TL;DR: It was observed that the ECDs responsible for the cortical responses from the unanesthetized finger were significantly changing following a relatively brief period of sensory deprivation from the adjacent fingers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does cerebrovascular disease affect the coupling between neuronal activity and local haemodynamics
P.M. Rossini,Claudia Altamura,Antonio Ferretti,Fabrizio Vernieri,Filippo Zappasodi,Massimo Caulo,Vittorio Pizzella,C. Del Gratta,G.L. Romani,Franca Tecchio +9 more
TL;DR: This finding suggests that BOLD contrast could be more sensitive than TCD to chronic microvascular impairments, measuring small- rather than large- vessel reactivity.
