The raw EEG signal is always contaminated with many different artifacts, such as muscle movements (electromyographic artifacts), eye blinking (electrooculographic artifacts) or power line disturbances. All artifacts must be removed for correct data interpretation. However, various noise reduction methods significantly influence the final shape of the EEG signal and thus its characteristic values, latency and amplitude. There are several types of filters to eliminate noise early in the processing of EEG data. However, there is no gold standard for their use. This article aims to verify and compare the influence of four various filters (FIR, IIR, FFT, NOTCH) on the latency and amplitude of the EEG signal. By presenting a comparison of selected filters, the authors intend to raise awareness among researchers as regards the effects of known filters on latency and amplitude in a selected area—the sensorimotor area.

Mechanical muscle-tendon vibration affects musculature and the nervous system. As the vibrations used in previous studies were varied, consistently determining the effect of mechanical vibration was challenging. Additionally, only a few studies have applied vibrations to dynamic motion. This study investigated whether the vibration based on the sensorimotor response could affect the stability and function of stair climbing. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were recorded from the sensorimotor area, and mu rhythms, dependent on the vibration frequencies, were analyzed. Based on the analysis, the vibratory stimulus conditions were set and applied to the Achilles tendon of the lower limb during stair climbing. Simultaneously, electromyogram (EMG) signals from the gastrocnemius lateralis (GL), gastrocnemius medialis (GM), soleus (SOL), and tibialis anterior (TA) were recorded. Activations and co-activations of the shank muscles were analyzed according to the phases of stair climbing. When vibration was applied, the TA activation decreased in the pull-up (PU) phase, and calf muscle activations increased during the forward continuous (FCN) phase. These changes and their degrees differ significantly between stimulus conditions (p < 0.05). Co-activation changes, which differed significantly with conditions (p < 0.05), appeared mostly in the PU. These results imply that the vibration affects stability and function of stair climbing, suggesting that the vibration characteristics should be considered when they are applied to dynamic movement.

Abstract Background Insulo-opercular seizures are highly heterogeneous in seizure semiology and electrical features. Bilateral asymmetric limb posturing, as a classical pattern of supplementary sensorimotor area (SMA) seizure, also occurs in insulo-opercular epilepsy. This study was aimed to study the anatomo-electro-clinical correlations in bilateral asymmetric tonic seizures (BATS), in order to advance the understanding of insulo-opercular epilepsy. Methods Eight patients with insulo-opercular epilepsy as confirmed by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and manifesting BATS as the major ictal motor sign, in Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital Epilepsy Center from 2014 to 2018, were employed in this study. The BATS of the patients were evaluated, and the semiologic features and concomitant intracerebral EEG changes were quantified. Then the variables were examined with Cluster Analysis, and the semiologic features were correlated with anatomic localization using the Kendall correlation test. Results Of the 8 patients, the most frequent initial motor sign was bilateral asymmetric tonic posturing (62.5%). Facial tonic-clonic sign also had a high prevalence in the evolution of seizures (87.5%). The results of Cluster Analysis showed that the semiologic features were subdivided into two main groups, one group comprising exclusively BATS and the other including signs of focal tonic seizure, aura, focal limb tonic-clonic seizure (TCS), facial TCS, hypermotor behavior, eye movement, autonomic changes and generalized TCS. The BATS was strongly associated with the posterior long gyrus (PLG) of insula (t = 0.732) and parietal operculum (t = 1.000); the hypermotor behaviors were associated with the anterior long gyrus (ALG) (t = 0.770); and the autonomic changes were associated with the anterior limiting sulcus (ALS) (t = 0.734) and middle short gyrus (MSG) (t = 0.700). Conclusions The seizure semiology of insulo-opercular epilepsy is characterized, in temporal order, by BATS, with or without simultaneous hypermotor behaviors, and frequently ends up with facial tonic-clonic signs, which is different from that of the SMA seizure. The early spread network involving the posterior insular lobe and parietal operculum may contribute to this pattern of manifestation.

To evaluate the effect of movement amplitude on the “blood oxygen level-dependent effect,” the authors studied six normal subjects while they extended their index finger with two different amplitudes, Images were analyzed using SPM96, In five subjects, the signal intensity increase in the primary sensorimotor area was significantly greater with the larger amplitude movement. In other areas of interest (supplementary motor area, premotor cortex, insula, postcentral area, cerebellum), the large-amplitude movement often showed significant activation when the small-amplitude movement did not. The authors conclude that, in studies of the motor system, movement amplitude needs to be controlled.
