Further, we sought to determine if slow wave activity (SWA) – slow oscillatory (0.7 0.8 Hz) and delta activity (1.0 4.0 Hz) – has a causal influence on declarative memory consolidation by measuring memory changes resulting from disruption of SWA.
A spatial working memory task might yield a stronger relationship than the change detection task, which primarily measures memory for object features.
The spacing in repeated measures is chosen based on the investigators' knowledge of how pain memory changes over time.
In those patients who underwent an ATLR, measures of verbal and visual memory change following surgery were calculated as postoperative preoperative scores.
Before the participants started treatment, and at week 6 and week 12, we simultaneously recorded changes in oxyhemoglobin concentration and an EEG during performance of the working memory task, and measured changes in oxyhemoglobin concentration during the calculation task.
The corresponding non-verbal task Span Board measured changes in visuospatial working memory [ 46].
While the participants performed the working memory task, we simultaneously measured changes in oxyhemoglobin concentration and event-related potentials.
Visual memory: This model predicted postoperative visual memory change (R2 = 0.395, P < 0.004).

Fuld Object Memory Evaluation measures episodic memory, which is a profound area of loss in dementia.
