Análise quantitativa dos potenciais cerebrais ERP300 em adultos jovens

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The integration in a multidisciplinary team in the "Serviço de Neurofisiologia do Hospital Geral de Santo António do Porto" enabled the contribution in one of the research lines that a is to study procedures to quantify Cerebral Activity. The study of long latency potentials is a method of investigation of the Central Nervous System, especially on the cognitive information processing. The discrimination of a random stimulus in a sequence of auditory rhythmic stimulus generates a potential whose basic wave is the P300 (or ERP300). We tested if the amplitude and the latency of the ERP300, determined in scalp, keep their general characteristics overtime, analysing the variations in terms of place, when sequentially determined, at fixed intervals of time, in young adults and in stable situations. We used the oddball paradigm to generate the ERP300, stimulated by a set of 50 stimulus. The potentials were registered on the scalp (Fz, Cz, C3 and C4). We have studied 30 healthy subjects (not taking drugs). Each subject was studied each time in two different trials. The record was repeated in the same day (morning and afternoon) within a six-hour interval. The same procedure was repeated, under the same conditions, one week later. The analysis of data fulfilled using an Analysis of Variance of Repeated Measures. We find variations statistically significative in terms of the place in the scalp for the latency and the amplitude of the ERP300. It was verified that the amplitude of the first trial is always greater than to the second. The stimulation is earlier recognized in Cz. ERP300 response was attenuated with test repetition.
Relatively to the sex its main effect did not show statistically significant differences. Thus, this analysis allowed us to assume that there is no evidence to reject the ERP 300 stability over time, suggesting individual stability of the answers of the ERP300.
In contrast to the ERPs, there are dynamic changes in the spontaneous EEG, which are also related to an event, considered as induced des- or syncronization of the cerebral activity (ERD/ERS).
Therefore, the study's aim was to test the cerebral activity in various places of the scalp, bearing in mind non-synchronisation (ERD)/synchronisation (ERS), and to define temporal spaces in ordinary subjects for further comparison with groups with diverse pathologies. Our contribution was based on the establishment of the protocol of acquisition of data and methodology of preparation and validation of data for analysis.
The Model of Analysis of Variance of Repeated Measures has had far reaching applications in the study of the Cerebral Activity analysis. Therefore, it will be used in future analyses that we will elaborate for Quantification of Cerebral Activity, namely in the analysis of desynchronization(ERD)/synchronization(ERS) the EEG signal. This work contains a brief description of statistical models of Analysis of Variance and a discussion of the statistical models as well as their respective assumptions.

We propose a Bayesian method to extract single-trial event related potentials (ERPs). The method is formulated in two stages. In the first stage, each of the N raw sweeps is processed by an individual "optimal" filter, where the 2nd order a priori statistical information on the background EEG and on the unknown ERP is, respectively, estimated from pre-stimulus data and obtained through the multiple integration of a white noise process model which is identifiable from post-stimulus data thanks to a smoothing criterion. Then, a mean ERP is determined as the weighted average of the filtered sweeps, where each weight is inversely proportional to the expected value of the norm of the correspondent filter error. In the second stage, single-sweep estimation is dealt with within the same framework, by using the average ERP estimated in the previous stage as a priori expected response. The method is successfully tested on simulated data and then employed on real data with the aim of investigating the variability of the P300 component during a cognitive visual task. A comparison with other literature methods is also performed. Results encourage further use of the proposed method to investigate if and how diseases, e.g., cirrhosis, are associated to differences in P300 variability.

Statistical spatial filtering for a P300-based BCI: tests in able-bodied, and patients with cerebral palsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Publication year: 2010

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The effective use of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in real-world environments depends on a satisfactory throughput. In a P300-based BCI, this can be attained by reducing the number of trials needed to detect the P300 signal. However, this task is hampered by the very low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of P300 event related potentials. This paper proposes an efficient methodology that achieves high classification accuracy and high transfer rates for both disabled and able-bodied subjects in a standard P300-based speller system. The system was tested by three subjects with cerebral palsy (CP), two subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and nineteen able-bodied subjects. The paper proposes the application of three statistical spatial filters. The first is a beamformer that maximizes the ratio of signal power and noise power (Max-SNR). The second is a beamformer based on the Fisher criterion (FC). The third approach cascades the FC beamformer with the Max-SNR beamformer satisfying simultaneously sub-optimally both criteria (C-FMS). The calibration process of the BCI system takes about 5 min to collect data and a couple of minutes to obtain spatial filters and classification models. Online results showed that subjects with disabilities have achieved, on average, an accuracy and transfer rate only slightly lower than able-bodied subjects. Taking 23 of the 24 participants, the averaged results achieved a transfer rate of 4.33 symbols per minute with a 91.80% accuracy, corresponding to a bandwidth of 19.18 bits per minute. This study shows the feasibility of the proposed methodology and that effective communication rates are achievable.

The P300 signal is monotonically modulated by target saliency level irrespective of the visual feature domain

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
PURPOSE:
Event related responses to infrequent and task-relevant stimuli often include an attentional peak, the P300 component. This component is typically regarded as independent from the sensory modality, with amplitude depending on target occurrence probability. In this study, we investigated whether the P300 signal could similarly be modulated by the degree of perceptual difference across visual target properties.
METHODS:
We used an oddball block design with texture and colour as perceptual category features and a frequency ratio of 1:16. EEG/ERP responses were recorded from 68 channels in 9 healthy participants, matched for age and educational level. For the colour condition, 3 targets with increasing steps of categorical deviation in perceived redness from the standard stimulus were used. Concerning the texture segmentation condition, 3 targets with increasing spatial phase difference were chosen. Colour target patches were presented against a reference background of a standard additive primary red patch, and texture patches against a standard grating one with no phase segregation contrast.
RESULTS:
Repeated measure analysis results suggest a significant modulation of P300 amplitude target levels in midline central and parietal channels for both conditions. Significant Spearman correlations (positive with amplitude and negative with latency) support this order effect between target perceptual level and the P300 response.
CONCLUSION:
We conclude that the amplitude and latency of the P300 response is monotonically modulated by saliency levels of distinct target categories.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Separate dimensions of schizotypy have been differentially associated with electrophysiological measures of brain function, and further shown to be modified by sex/gender. We investigated event-related potential (ERP) correlates of two subdimensions of positive schizotypy, paranormal ideation (PI) and unusual experiences (UEs). Seventy-two individuals with no psychiatric diagnosis (men=36) completed self-report measures of UE and PI and performed an auditory oddball task. Average scores for N100, N200 and P300 amplitudes were calculated for left and right anterior, central and posterior electrode sites. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the relationships between the measures of schizotypy and ERPs across the entire sample, as well as separately according to sex. PI was inversely associated with P300 amplitude at left-central sites across the entire sample, and at right-anterior electrodes in women only. Right-anterior P300 and right-posterior N100 amplitudes were negatively associated with UE in women only. Across the entire sample, UE was negatively associated with left-central N100 amplitude, and positively associated with left-anterior N200 amplitude. These results provide support from electrophysiological measures for the fractionation of the positive dimension of schizotypy into subdimensions of PI and UE, and lend indirect support to dimensional or quasidimensional conceptions of psychosis. More specifically, they suggest that PI may be associated with alteration in contextual updating processes, and that UE may reflect altered sensory/early-attention (N100) mechanisms. The sex differences observed are consistent with those previously observed in individuals with schizophrenia.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Sex differences for depression in prevalence and symptom profile may in part be due to differences between men and women in brain dysfunction associated with the disorder. Changes in event-related potential (ERP) measures similar to those seen in clinical populations are reported in subclinical or premorbid forms of depression. The current study investigates sex differences in ERPs associated with subclinical depression. One-hundred-and-forty healthy, right-handed adults (aged 20–60 years; screened to exclude clinical depression and psychosis) completed an auditory oddball task and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). Seventy (n=35 men) subclinically depressed (SD) (i.e. scoring >2 for depression on DASS) participants were matched for age and education with 70 (n=35 men) participants showing no signs of depression (ND). Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance was used to test for differences in N200 and P300 amplitude between SD and ND groups. ND, but not SD groups had asymmetry (R>L) of central N200 amplitude. Similar asymmetry was seen in ND, but not SD men at posterior sites. SD groups demonstrated left>right posterior P300 amplitude asymmetry due to P300 enhancement at left temporoparietal sites. Results support involvement of various cognitive mechanisms measured by P300 and N200 in subclinical depressive symptoms some of which may rely on sex.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
N100 and P300 auditory evoked potentials in 2-stimulus oddball paradigm were analyzed in high (HH, n = 18) and low (LH, n = 15) hypnotizable participants under waking condition. LH subjects committed more errors than HH subjects. HH subjects demonstrated shorter N100 latencies at frontal electrodes and significant N100 differences between target and nontarget stimuli (higher N100 amplitude and increased latency at parietal sites to targets vs. nontargets), whereas LH subjects failed to show any differences. The overall increase of P300 amplitude with frontal-central localization of P300 maximum was found in HH subjects compared to LH subjects. The obtained results support the psychophysiological model of HH individuals having more effective frontal attentional systems involved in detecting, integrating, and filtering relevant information.

Chapter 11 - Brain-computer interfaces for consciousness assessment and communication in severely brain-injured patients
Publication year: 2020
URL:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780444639349000111
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) suffer from awareness deficits. Comorbidities such as motor disabilities or visual problems hamper clinical assessments, which can lead to misdiagnosis of the level of consciousness and render the patient unable to communicate. Objective measures of consciousness can reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and could enable patients to communicate by voluntarily modulating their brain activity. This chapter gives an overview of the literature regarding brain-computer interface (BCI) research in DOC patients. Different auditory, visual, and motor imagery paradigms are discussed, alongside their corresponding advantages and disadvantages. At this point, the use of BCIs for DOC patients in clinical applications is still preliminary. However, perspectives on the improvements in BCIs for DOC patients seem positive, and implementation during rehabilitation shows promise.

Intranasal oxytocin increases cooperation of heterosexual men with women
Publication year: 2025

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2025.107519
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Sexualization may lead to sexual objectification, which is thought to be the prelude of misogynistic behavior. On the other hand, sexualization can also increase approach and courtship from the opposite sex. It is still unclear how the sexualization of women biases social cooperative decisions towards them. In an EEG experiment with the Prisoner's Dilemma, using a between-subject double-blind placebo-controlled design, we investigated if the sexualization of women could influence cooperative behaviors from heterosexual men (n = 50) and if oxytocin (OT), thought to have a key role in social cognition, modulates this effect. We found sexualized women were perceived as more attractive, sexy, and sexually available, and less moral but not objectified. Our main finding was that OT pervasively increased general cooperation probability, as well as cooperation probability specifically after reciprocal cooperation. Additionally, OT increased cooperation probability after betrayal, particularly for non-sexualized and when they played before the sexualized women. Neurally, we found sexualization affected P300 and FRN responses during the game's outcomes, and that the former's latency was also increased by OT when men played with non-sexualized before the sexualized women, tentatively reflecting the above behavioral results. Our findings corroborate existing theories of OT increasing trust and rendering prosocial or pro-approach behavior rewarding and extend them to the context of the other's sexualization.
