Sentence examples for control brain activity from inspiring English sources
Previous experiments on animals have shown how brain waves control brain activity.
By trying to control the size of the fires, I am attempting to control brain activity in the cingulate and insula, and in turn to quell the chronic back pain that has irked me in recent years.
In future work, this technique could be used to study neurological conditions for which there is a lot of human fMRI data but little is known about the underlying neural circuits that control brain activity.
With the hack in place, she said, once the user has succeeded in learning to control brain activity (specifically, to vary the speed of electrical pulses by closing his eyes or breathing deeply), he could potentially use the feature to interact with and control physical objects.
And new techniques, like optogenetics (which allow experimenters to control brain activity — and hence an animal's behavior — by exposing neurons to light) and fluorescent imaging (which makes it possible to monitor the responses of thousands of neurons simultaneously in awake, behaving animals), make addressing such questions potentially feasible for the first time.
In December, they published the results of their first study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showing that both healthy subjects and chronic-pain patients could learn to control brain activity – and pain – using real-time fMRI.
To explore the brain circuits that underlie these behaviors, he used a new technique called optogenetics that controls brain activity with blue light.
"We are trying to understand how neural circuits contribute to relapse". A key laboratory technique for this work involves controlling brain activity by shining light on specific regions of the brain.
In comparison with the controls, brain activity in migraine subjects was significantly different from that of the controls both in two frequency ranges (55 90 Hz, p < 0.001) and (90 200 Hz, p < 0.004).
Indeed, two ambitious initiatives are currently devising tools for imaging and controlling brain activity, ultimately to create a working computational model of the entire brain 1.
