Heart cycle-related effects on event-related potentials, spectral power changes, and connectivity patterns in the human ECoG
Publication year: 2013

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The perception of one's own heartbeat is a fundamental interoceptive process that involves cortical and subcortical structures. Yet, the precise spatiotemporal neuronal activity patterns underlying the cortical information processing have remained largely elusive. Although the high temporal and spatial resolution of electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings is increasingly being exploited in functional neuroimaging, it has not been used to study heart cycle-related effects. Here, we addressed the capacity of ECoG to characterize neuronal signals within the cardiac cycle, as well as to disentangle them from heart cycle-related artifacts. Based on topographical distribution and latency, we identified a biphasic potential within the primary somatosensory cortex, which likely constitutes a heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) of neuronal origin. We also found two different types of artifacts: i) oscillatory potential changes with a frequency identical to the heart pulse rate, which probably represent pulsatility artifacts and ii) sharp potentials synchronized to the R-peak, corresponding to the onset of ventricular contraction and the cardiac field artifact (CFA) in EEG. Finally, we show that heart cycle-related effects induce pronounced phase-synchrony patterns in the ECoG and that this kind of correlation patterns, which may confound ECoG connectivity studies, can be reduced by a suitable correction algorithm. The present study is, to our knowledge, the first one to show a focally localized cortical HEP that could be clearly and consistently observed over subjects, suggesting a basic role of primary sensory cortex in processing of heart-related sensory inputs. We also conclude that taking into account and reducing heart cycle-related effects may be advantageous for many ECoG studies, and are of crucial importance, particularly for ECoG-based connectivity studies. Thus, in summary, although ECoG poses new challenges, it opens up new possibilities for the investigation of heartbeat-related viscerosensory processing in the human brain.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Aim of the present project was to study and elucidate the neural mechanisms of blink and saccadic suppression by taking advantage of intracranial electrophysiology. We found a characteristic biphasic broadband gamma decrease-increase pattern over early visual areas, during both blinks and saccades.
A high-frequency spectral magnitude decrease and low-frequency magnitude increase during blinking was also recorded over parietal cortex, temporal cortex and particularly robust over prefrontal cortex. The high-frequency spectral magnitude decrease and low-frequency magnitude increase recorded during eye movement execution over early visual areas and prefrontal cortex likely reflects neural correlates of a top-down signal associated with visual suppression. Furthermore, we found a significant saccade-related decrease in the gamma band of V1 approx. 40 ms prior to saccade onset, i.e., in a time window that was completely non-overlapping with saccade onset. This result supports the hypothesis, because a bottom-up mechanism could not yet function at that time.
Saccades more than blinks however elicited a late, narrower-banded gamma response over early visual areas that may reflect the processing of new visual input after saccadic movement to a new eye position. A comparable pattern with a phasic broadband gamma augmentation followed by a more narrow-banded sustained gamma response was previously found in the primate visual cortex during visual stimulation with Gabor stimuli.
We conclude that early visual areas, including striate- and extra-striate cortices, as well as areas of higher visual processing are involved in the processing of visual awareness.

Blink- and Saccade-related suppression effects in early visual areas of the human brain: Intracranial EEG investigations during natural viewing conditions
Publication year: 2021

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811921000653
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Blinks and saccades, both ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions, cause rapid changes of visual inputs that are hardly consciously perceived. The neural dynamics in early visual areas of the human brain underlying this remarkable visual stability are still incompletely understood. We used electrocorticography (ECoG) from electrodes directly implanted on the human early visual areas V1, V2, V3d/v, V4d/v and the fusiform gyrus to investigate blink- and saccade-related neuronal suppression effects during non-experimental, free viewing conditions. We found a characteristic, biphasic, broadband gamma power decrease-increase pattern in all investigated visual areas. During saccades, a decrease in gamma power clearly preceded eye movement onset, at least in V1. This may indicate that cortical information processing is actively suppressed in human early visual areas before and during saccades, which then possibly mediates perceptual visual suppression. The following eye movement offset-related increase in gamma power may indicate the recovery of visual perception and the resumption of visual processing.
