New #research alert! @SciReports has an article on the feasibility of an invasive hippocampal #brain-computer interface for wheelchair control. Its findings may lay groundwork for future research in developing more intuitive and effective #BCI solutions: https://t.co/y3KFXfcBeh
UCSF researchers, led by Prasad Shirvalkar, MD, PhD, and @ChangLab, have reported the first objective biomarkers of chronic pain states from direct neural recordings in the ACC and OFC. OFC signals more strongly correlated with chronic pain. @natureneuro https://t.co/gBEjL0I4TF
This 1938 paper by Grass & Gibbs is (I think) the first paper to compute Fourier transforms of EEG data!
They developed a device to compute frequency domain representations of EEG data (pictured) and analyzed over 300 EEGs (!!), arguing for the utility of this kind of approach.
@max_hodak Some argue it to be the result of sexual selection. I think it’s the byproduct of brain mechanisms that were selected for non-musical functions. Basically, circuits that were developed for speech processing, scene analysis, and motor abilities are being tickled juuuust right.
