Article Abstract

Highly integrated neural sensing microsystems are crucial to capture accurate signals for brain function investigations. In this paper, a 256-channel neural sensing microsystem with a sensing area of 5 × 5 mm is presented based on 2.5-D through-silicon-via (TSV) integration. This microsystem composes of dissolvable μ-needles, TSV-embedded μ-probes, 256-channel neural amplifiers, 11-bit area-power-efficient successive approximation register analog-to-digital converters, and serializers. This microsystem can detect 256 electrocorticography and local field potential signals within a small area of 5 mm × 5 mm. The neural amplifier realizes 57.8 dB gain with only 9.8 μW per channel. The overall power of this microsystem is only 3.79 mW for 256-channel neural sensing. A smaller microsystem with dimension of 6 mm × 4 mm has been also implanted into rat brain for somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) recording by using contralateral and ipsilateral electrical stimuli with intensity from 0.2 to 1.0 mA, and successfully observed different SSEPs from left somatosensory cortex of a rat.

Emotion and cognition are interrelated lateralized brain functions, yet their interaction may vary with handedness due to differences in hemispheric specialization. We investigate how handedness modulates emotion-cognition interactions using electroencephalography/event-related potentials (EEG/ERPs) in healthy young adults. Participants completed a hemi-field emotional oddball task, where visually identical circles appeared in either the left or right visual field, and fearful or neutral distractors were shown centrally.

The impact of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) on alpha coherence and verbal divergent thinking.

Random noise stimulation (tRNS) applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) enhances fluency and originality in verbal divergent thinking tasks. However, the underlying neural mechanisms of this behavioral change remain unclear. Given that the DLPFC is a key node of the executive control network (ECN) and that creativity is a two-stage process in which the ECN is primarily involved in the final idea selection stage, application of tRNS to this region shall not only result in an increase of originality and flexibility but also in a modulation of EEG activity.

Phase slips extracted from derivatives of EEG data provide a deeper insight into the formation of cortical phase transitions.

The phase slips are generally extracted from the EEG using Hilbert transforms but could also be extracted from the derivatives of EEG, providing additional information about the formation of cortical phase transitions. We examined this from the 30 s long, 256-channel resting state, eyes open EEG data of a 30-year-old male subject. The phase slip rates, PSR1 from EEG, PSR2 from the first-order derivative of EEG, and PSR3 from the second-order derivative of EEG, respectively, were extracted.

Electroencephalography (EEG) experiments typically generate vast amounts of data due to the high sampling rates and the use of multiple electrodes to capture brain activity. Consequently, storing and transmitting these large datasets is challenging, necessitating the creation of specialized compression techniques tailored to this data type. This study proposes one such method, which at its core uses an artificial neural network (specifically a convolutional autoencoder) to learn the latent representations of modelled EEG signals to perform lossy compression, which gets further improved with lossless corrections based on the user-defined threshold for the maximum tolerable amplitude loss, resulting in a flexible near-lossless compression scheme.

Chronic occupational stress is associated with a pronounced decline in emotional and cognitive functioning. Studies on neural mechanisms indicate significant changes in brain activity and changed patterns of event-related potentials in burnout subjects. This study presents an analysis of brain functional connectivity in a resting state, thus providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms accompanying burnout syndrome.
