Recording brain waves in extreme situations: The psychoactivity of ayahuasca

This user research summary is based on the article “Acute Biphasic Effects of Ayahuasca“. Ayahuasca is an amerindian psychoactive sacrament used worldwide. Neuroscience studies have shown contradictory results regarding its effects in the brain. Combining EEG, plasma samples and robust statistics, we’ve uncovered biphasic effects in the brain which are related to many psychoactive compounds, not only N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), as previously proposed.

  • Getting EEG data in real-time for BCI, Neurofeedback and more

Getting EEG data in real-time for BCI, Neurofeedback and more

In the past years there has been an increased need and demand for real-time access to EEG data for purposes of quality control, parametrization, features extraction and online feedback. In this article, I will explore the concept of remote data access (RDA) and demonstrate how to access EEG data in real-time from our amplifiers.

New video publication on infant EEG. “Novel Experimental and Analytical Approach to the Multimodal Neural Decoding of Intent During Social Interaction in Freely-behaving Human Infants”

A research group from University of Houston presented a novel methodology for the neural decoding of intent from freely-behaving infants during unscripted social interaction with an actor. Neural activity was acquired using actiCAP EEG electrodes. Kinematic data was collected with inertial measurement units and supplemented with synchronized video recording.

Official market release of LiveAmp – Brain Products’ new solution for superior quality mobile wireless EEG

LiveAmp is an ultra-lightweight, wearable amplifier. As it is wireless and allows you to store the data internally (exchangeable memory card), there are no mobility limitations. LiveAmp is easy and intuitive to use and extremely compact. Its technical specifications leave nothing to be desired and translate into outstanding signal quality.

  • New insights in motor imagery from real-time EEG feedback during concurrent fMRI

New insights in motor imagery from real-time EEG feedback during concurrent fMRI

Motor imagery (MI) combined with neurofeedback has been suggested as a promising rehabilitation approach for paralyzed individuals. EEG based MI feedback is particularly promising for therapeutic applications. Yet whether EEG feedback indeed targets specific sensorimotor activation patterns cannot unambiguously inferred from EEG alone. This article demonstrates that online correction of gradient artifacts and ballistocardiogram artifacts enables reliable MI EEG feedback inside the MRI scanner.
