Brain-stomach interactions revealed via simultaneous Electrogastrography (EGG) and fMRI

By combining electrogastrography, resting state fMRI, and phase synchronization methods, we developed a novel framework to examine brain-stomach interactions. We found that during rest, the stomach is coupled to a wide-spread cortical and subcortical network, with large effect sizes in sensory-motor regions.

  • 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.

  • 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.
