Neuroengineering

Section edited by Shanbao Tong

This section covers novel techniques for fundamental and clinical neurosciences, and the state-of-art review articles. Techniques include, but are not limited to, neural signal processing, neuroimaging, neural interface, neurosurgery, neuromodulation, brain stimulation and molecular imaging. The technique either newly developed or well tested somewhere else would be used in a way that proves its value for new findings in neurosciences.

1. Exploration of time–frequency reassignment and homologous inter-hemispheric asymmetry analysis of MCI–AD brain activity

   In this study, nonlinear based time–frequency (TF) and time domain investigations are employed for the analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of mild cognitive impairment–Alzheimer’s disease (MCI–AD) p...

4. The effect of anesthetic dose on the motor response induced by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation

   Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) has been proven to be a noninvasive method with high spatial resolution and deep penetration. Previous studies have qualitatively demonstrated that the elect...

5. Transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of tinnitus: a review of clinical trials and mechanisms of action

   Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of any external acoustic stimulation. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown promising though heterogeneous therapeutic outcomes for tinnitu...

6. Effect of pulsed transcranial ultrasound stimulation at different number of tone-burst on cortico-muscular coupling

   Pulsed transcranial ultrasound stimulation (pTUS) can modulate the neuronal activity of motor cortex and elicit muscle contractions. Cortico-muscular coupling (CMC) can serve as a tool to identify interaction ...

9. Investigating the impact of electrical stimulation temporal distribution on cortical network responses

   The brain is continuously targeted by a wealth of stimuli with complex spatio-temporal patterns and has presumably evolved in order to cope with those inputs in an optimal way. Previous studies investigating t...

11. Results on the spatial resolution of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for cortical language mapping during object naming in healthy subjects

    The spatial resolution of repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for language mapping is largely unknown. Thus, to determine a minimum spatial resolution of rTMS for language mapping, we...
