  1. 6. The Neural Correlates of Burnout: A Systematic Review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Miranda Fredin; [2022]
    Keywords : burnout; neural correlates; exhaustion; cynicism;

    Abstract : Burnout is a condition that results from chronic work-related stress, and it is associated with impairments in cognitive and emotion-related functions, such as impaired executive functions and emotion regulation. This thesis aimed to conduct a systematic review of the neural correlates of burnout. READ MORE

  3. 7. EEG Signal Analysis in the Frequency Domain : An Examination of Abnormalities During the Gait Cycle

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Lou Gripentoft; Zilan Isik; [2022]
    Keywords : EEG; Frequency Domain; Signal Analysis; Fast Fourier transform; EEG; Frekvensdomän; Signalanalys; Snabb Fourier transform.;

    Abstract : Many people experience discomfort during movement when using a knee prosthesis. As a result, a study is being conducted to see if biomedical models can be used to produce an optimal prosthetic socket to reduce discomfort. READ MORE

  4. 8. In your dreams! : The neural correlates of lucid dreaming

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Markus Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : EEG; fMRI; lucid dreaming; self-awareness; volition;

    Abstract : While dreaming, one lacks the understanding that what is experienced is self-generated hallucinatory contents of consciousness. However, during dreaming there is a rare state called lucid dreaming. The minimal requirement for a dream to be considered lucid is that one is self-aware that one is currently sleeping. READ MORE

  5. 9. Universality and Individuality in Recurrent Networks extended to Biologically inspired networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Nishant Joshi; [2020]
    Keywords : Recurrent Neural Networks; rate Networks; Fixed Points; Dynamical Systems; Leaky Integrate and Fire; Computational Neuroscience;

    Abstract : Activities in the motor cortex are found to be dynamical in nature. Modeling these activities and comparing them with neural recordings helps in understanding the underlying mechanism for the generation of these activities. For this purpose, Recurrent Neural networks or RNNs, have emerged as an appropriate tool. READ MORE

  6. 10. HIGH-FREQUENCY OSCILLATIONS IN A MOUSE MODEL OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Love Zachrisson; [2020]
    Keywords : 6-OHDA; Parkinson s Disease; Basal Ganglia; LID; Gamma oscillation; 80Hz; HFO; Multichannel electrode array; Parkinsons sjukdom; 6-OHDA; LID; HFO; Gamma oscillering; 80Hz; Basala Ganglierna; Elektrodimplantat;

    Abstract : Dopamine replacement therapy is the main method of treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD), however over time this treatment causes increasingly abnormal, involuntary movements. This symptom, known as Levodopa-Induced-Dyskinesia (LID) is associated with aberrant, high frequency oscillations (HFOs) in the motor cortex and basal ganglia, as demonstrated with implanted electrodes in human Parkinson’s patients as well as in a rat model of Parkinson’s Disease.
