EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis.

THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book. The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or

Event-Related Desynchronization

Evidence for distinct beta resonance frequencies in human EEG related to specific sensorimotor cortical areas

Pre-movement event-related desynchronization (ERD) and post-movement event-related synchronization (ERS) were studied in a group of normal subjects during voluntary thumb, index finger and wrist movement. The band power time courses were computed for the upper alpha band (10-12 Hz) and for two frequency bands in the range of beta (16-20 Hz and 20-24 Hz). While a similar mu ERD was found during motor preparation for the 3 movement tasks, significant differences concerning beta synchronization were observed after movement off set. The contralateral percentage beta increase (ERS) was significantly larger in gross movements of the wrist as compared to index finger and thumb movements, which is discussed under the assumption of a cumulative effect. Summarizing, pre-movement desynchronization seems relatively independent of the forthcoming type of movement, whereas the post-movement beta synchronization might depend on the activated muscle mass.
