  1. 1. Enhancing Sensory Discrimination Training using Brain Modulation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Agnes Westerlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Transcranial direct current stimulation; sensory discrimination training; tactile acuity; phantom limb pain; two-point discrimination test; Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test;

    Abstract : Damage to the nervous system may cause sensorimotor impairment, often resulting in chronic neuropathic pain. Phantom limb pain affects multiple amputees and the treatment options are limited. A promising treatment option to reduce chronic pain is by training sensory discrimination. READ MORE

  3. 2. CAN WE REDUCE THE ONSET AND RECIDIVISM OF CRIME WITH NON-INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE EFFECTS OF TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION ON RESPONSE INHIBITION

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Maria Teresa Vaos Solano; [2018]
    Keywords : anti-social behavior; crime; deviant behavior; executive functions; noninvasive brain stimulation; response inhibition; transcranial direct current stimulation;

    Abstract : Deficits in executive functions, specifically in response inhibition (RI), have been reported in antisocial behavior, conduct disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), etc. Individuals with deficits in RI have a high probability to show non-adapted social behavior that can lead to crime.

  4. 3. Attentiveness interacts with the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and white noise on cognitive performance

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Jóhanna Maria Magnusardóttir; [2016]
    Keywords : attentiveness; white noise; transcranial direct current stimulation; moderate brain arousal model; stochastic resonance; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Scarce research has been conducted on the moderating role of attentiveness in the effect of tDCS on cognitive performance. On the other hand, research on the impact of auditory noise on attention has generally demonstrated the detrimental effect of task-irrelevant noise on performance of cognitive tasks, yet has also neglected to explore the role of attentiveness in this relationship.

  5. 4. Adaptive TDC : Implementation and Evaluation of an FPGA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorteknik

    Author : Simon Andersson Holmström; [2015]
    Keywords : TDC; Carry-chain; FPGA; Zynq; Delay;

    Abstract : Time to digital converter (TDC) is a digital unit that measures the time interval between two events.This is useful to determine the characteristics and patterns of a signal or an event. In this thesis ahybrid TDC is presented consisting of a tapped delay line and a clock counter principle. READ MORE

  6. 5. Stroke Lesion Segmentation for tDCS

    University essay from Medicinsk informatik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Elin Naeslund; [2011]
    Keywords : automatic segmentation; manual segmentation; stroke lesions; tDCS; SPM8; aphasia patients;

    Abstract : Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), together with speech therapy, is known to relieve the symptoms of aphasia. Knowledge about amount of current to apply and stimulation location is needed to ensure the best result possible. READ MORE
