• Alcohol Hangover Impacts Learning and Reward Processing Within the Medial-Frontal Cortex

Alcohol Hangover Impacts Learning and Reward Processing Within the Medial-Frontal Cortex

Alcohol intoxication impairs motor coordination, judgement, and decision-making. Interestingly, research suggests that the impact of alcohol consumption continues beyond the point of intoxication and into a period of alcohol hangover. Here, we examined differences in the amplitude of reward positivity – an event-related brain potential component associated with learning and how the amplitude of this component was impacted by alcohol hangover

  • Multimodal Fingerprints of Resting State Networks as assessed by Simultaneous Trimodal MR-PET-EEG Imaging

Multimodal Fingerprints of Resting State Networks as assessed by Simultaneous Trimodal MR-PET-EEG Imaging

In this work, we show the implementation of simultaneous trimodal imaging by employing the benefits of EEG, to acquire the electrophysiology of the brain, simultaneously with PET, to ascertain metabolic details, and MRI, to integrate brain function and structure. Trimodal imaging methodology is presented here for the first time, and we have carried out a pilot study to highlight its advantages.

  • New views made easy – Visualizing ECoG grids & connectivity matrices via Analyzer 2’s MATLAB® transformation

New views made easy – Visualizing ECoG grids & connectivity matrices via Analyzer 2’s MATLAB® transformation

BrainVision Analyzer 2 is easy to use and offers a variety of views to display your data with a single mouse click. However, science develops and new analysis methods entail the need for new data visualizations that Analyzer 2 does not yet support. This article briefly discusses how to expand the view capabilities of Analyzer 2 using the MATLAB® transformation. Two examples will illustrate this feature, where ECoG grid data and EEG connectivity matrices are visualized using simple MATLAB® functions.

Annapurna Base Camp: Studying the Brain at High Altitude

Human achievement at high altitude requires the performance of skilled behaviors with cognitive clarity. To better understand how the brain changes at high altitude during a motor task we used the actiCAP Xpress Bundle to characterize motor circuit changes up to 4,130 meters in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal.

  • All you ever wanted to know about markers in BrainVision Analyzer 2

All you ever wanted to know about markers in BrainVision Analyzer 2

Why markers? Investigating electrophysiological effects that evolve over hundreds of milliseconds requires precisely timed triggers that can be used for trial alignment or averaging. This article will give you an overview of how to manage, edit and process your markers most efficiently in Analyzer 2.

New Licensing Model available for Brain Products Software

We would like to announce a change in the licensing structure of our analysis and recording Software BrainVision Analyzer and BrainVision Recorder. Overall, this change leads to a major reduction of prices for the initial purchase of a Brain Products Software product (BrainVision Analyzer and BrainVision Recorder) and increased simplicity for the ordering process.

  • Using resting state EEG to investigate long-term stability in children’s frontal EEG alpha asymmetry

Using resting state EEG to investigate long-term stability in children’s frontal EEG alpha asymmetry

In a recent study (Müller, B. C. N., Kühn-Popp, N., Meinhardt, J., Sodian, B., & Paulus, M. 2015. Long-term stability in children’s frontal EEG alpha asymmetry between 14-months and 83-months. International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 41, 110-114), we measured resting state alpha EEG in children at two measurement points. This user research article provides an overview of our study.

Simultaneous EEG and BOLD fMRI: Best setup practice in a nutshell

The most widely used EEG equipment for simultaneous EEG/BOLD fMRI acquisition consists of the BrainAmp MR plus, RecView and Analyzer 2. Thus, the Brain Products’ Technical Support team has great experience in helping our customers to solve technical problems concerning EEG/fMRI studies. In this article, we share our experience by presenting an overview of the most important set up steps for a successful EEG/fMRI experiment.
