  3. 17. EEG enhancement for EEG source localization in brain-machine speller

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Parinaz Babaeeghazvini; [2013]
    Keywords : Brain-Computer interface BCI ; Brain-machine speller; Electroencephalogram EEG ; source localization; source reconstruction;

    Abstract : A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a system to communicate with external world through the brain activity. The brain activity is measured by Electro-Encephalography (EEG) and then processed by a BCI system. EEG source reconstruction could be a way to improve the accuracy of EEG classification in EEGbased brain–computer interface (BCI). READ MORE

  4. 18. The Effects Of Interactive Metronome Training On Female Soccer Players Timing Ability

    Author : Ronja Frimalm; [2012]
    Keywords : timing training; interactive metronome; soccer player;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate how timing training by Interactive Metronome ® (IM) affects motor timing and rhythmicity in soccer players. Twenty-four female soccer players (age 19 ± 2.8) participated, and were randomly assigned to either a control or an IM training group. READ MORE

  5. 19. Differential gene expression profiling of chromatin-modifying enzymes and remodeling factors in the rat motor cortex after motor skill training

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Parisa Rabiei Far; [2012]
    Keywords : epigenetics; procedural memory; Smyd1.;

    Abstract : Fine motor skills are learned through repetitive practice and once learned, last for a long time. Skilled reaching is linked to structural and functional changes in multiple brain regions including, in particular, the primary motor cortex. READ MORE

  6. 20. The Neural Representations of Function Words : Neurolinguistic Beliefs Reconsidered in the Light of Grammaticalisation Theory

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

    Author : Sabine Gosselke; [2011]
    Keywords : grammaticalisation; neurolinguistics; function words; processing; motor cortex; movement priming; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : It has in recent years been shown that some linguistic items, in particular lexical and abstracted movement verbs, activate the motor cortex in the human brain while being processed. The present study sets out to investigate how far this activation is retained for grammaticalised motion verbs which have shed their lexical content in exchange for grammatical functionality.
